HOUSE LEAGUE REGISTRATION FAQ

When will the season start / end?

The 2023-2024 season will kick off on Sunday, September 10 with the House League Evaluation / Return to the Ice skates. Practices will begin prior to the end of September, with team formation happening in late September / early October. The season will conclude in March.

When will ice times be?

We are striving for traditional House League ice times, with U7, U9 and U11 on Saturday / Sunday with the other divisions practicing and playing Sunday / Monday.

The table below includes ESTIMATED ice times; however, please be aware that these times are to be used ONLY as a guideline and are SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Ice times are arranged through the City of Mississauga, which allocates ice across the entire city for all recreational activities, including (but not limited to) hockey for all co-ed and female leagues. The MGHL strives to arrange consistent scheduling for our programs to be considered and finalized by the City of Mississauga, typically closer to September. Registered athletes will receive their final schedules directly from the MGHL.

Keep in mind that every year Iceland Arena has blackout weekends (approximately 5-6) reserved for tournaments which may affect one or both of a team’s ice times, depending on the division. Even with these blackouts, our House League players are on the ice 32-38 times during the season.

Can I request a Tie-To with another player?

Yes! To request a Tie-To with another player, ONE FAMILY must add the Tie-To Package ($40 PER player)*** to their RAMP account and additionally must fill in and submit the Tie-To Request Form*** before the deadline of October 2, 2023. Due to team balancing, the MGHL cannot guarantee that all Tie-To requests can be accommodated; however, we will make every effort to keep requested players together.

*** Families are kindly asked to coordinate money for the Tie-To Package fees ($40 PER player) amongst each other, and for only ONE family to make the full payment / complete the request form online.

Update, October 3, 2023: Tie-To Requests are now closed for the season; if you have any questions or comments, please contact House League Director, Scott Forsyth, at [email protected].


Will there be a DS Program (Select) available this year?

We expect the OWHA will offer DS, or Select, Programing / Teams for the U11, U13, U15 and U18 age groups. Tryouts would be in November with games / tournaments starting in December.

Will there be an equipment exchange, gear or apparel available?

Our Equipment Exchange and Apparel Day are back and will be held during our House League Return to Hockey Day. Visit us on Sunday, September 10, 2023 at Iceland Arena (2nd Floor, 8:30 AM - 1:30 PM) for gently used equipment, as well as to try on and order some brand new MGHL apparel. If you have any questions, please contact our Equipment Director, Neil Coreschi at: [email protected].

What equipment do players need to be out on the ice?

Staying safe out on the ice is very important. This requires that all athletes wear properly fitted, full, protective gear. It is every families' responsibility to ensure that all protective equipment is properly sized for each athlete and in good working condition. Please download our MGHL Equipment Checklist / Fit Sheet for a list of the gear needed every time players get out on the ice. Note that the MGHL provides jerseys and hockey socks as part of registration fees, once Teams have been formed in approximately mid-October.

What is the MGHL cancellation or refund policy?

Assuming a normal year, the existing House League Cancellation Policy will apply. Please read the full Policy here.

Can I volunteer to help at the MGHL?

Absolutely! Coaches, Trainers and Conveners are needed at ALL levels. If you haven't already done so, please fill in the House League Volunteer Form to get your name in!
