Niagara Youth Leagues

Our House League program runs year-round and is designed to provide a fun, inclusive, and welcoming environment where players can build friendships and enjoy the game of ball hockey. Divisions are organized by combining two to three birth years, ensuring balanced age groupings that promote both skill development and camaraderie. Whether you’re a first-time player or have previous experience, our House League is open to all skill levels.


DIVISIONS OFFERED, GAME & PRACTICE DAYS (Summer 2025)

Before the start of each season, we release a full schedule outlining your team’s games and practices. Over the course of the 10-week season, teams can expect between 12 to 15 scheduled events, including both games and practices. Following the regular season, all teams will participate in a playoff weekend tournament to wrap up the experience. While each team is assigned two potential play days per week, the actual weekly schedule may vary — some weeks will include activity on both days, while others may only include one.
