When will my child play?

House league registrants usually play one game per week.  Schedules will be posted on the HHMH website.  Each team has their own webpage on the HHMH site, accessible throughout the year.  You can also subscribe to the calendar to autofill your own personal calendar on your home computer or mobile device.

 

When does my child practice?

House League registrants practice at a variety of times on a rotating basis.  Practices are shared with another house league team.  Check the HHMH website for schedule closer to season start.  You can also subscribe to the calendar to auto-fill your own personal calendar on your home computer or mobile device.

 

Can I specify a certain house league coach that I want my child to play for?

Unfortunately, with a registration base of over 1500 participants it has become impossible to accommodate special requests.  Therefore, if you are coaching you can ensure your own child is on your team.

 

 

My child wants to be a full time goalie - does he/she get to play a full game each week?

If there is only 1 goalie, yes your child would get a full game each week. If there are 2 goalies per team, the we (HHMH) may move one goalie to a team that is in need of a goalie. House-league full time goalies ( played all games, not rotating) will receive a $200.00 rebate at the end of the season. In order to receive the rebate, the goalie must have played a full season as a goaltender, and if any goalie equipment was borrowed  it must be returned at the end of the season (weekend of champs)

What documentation do I need if I want to coach or be a trainer?

All coaches and trainers staff must have completed the Respect in Sport-Activity Leader. Gender expression course, Rowen's Law Acknowledgement, have a valid police check/vulnerable sector screen and various courses, clinics depending on age and level of child coaching. 

Coaches and trainers are now required to attend clinics sponsored by the Ontario Minor Hockey Association.  For information on what is required and where to attend these clinics go to www.omha.net.  More information is on our Coaches Corner page under Resources from the main menu.  (look for Coaching/Staff Qualifications link)

 

Also, the OMHA requires a Criminal Reference Check/Vulnerable Sector Screening (Police Check) which can be obtained on line. This process can take about 7 weeks for results. See the Coaches Corner or Volunteers pages for details. 

 

Where can I sign up to be a coach or trainer? 

Coaching applications can be filled in our website.  For House League, go to the House League Home or Coaches Corner page.  For Select go to the Select Home page (both found under “Programs” on the main menu).  Rep applications are solicited usually early in the new year for the following season.  Trainers are usually picked by the head coaches but we are always looking for volunteers and trainers at large.  Check out our Volunteers section from the main menu under “About Us”.

 

What is the Mini Thunder (Initiation Program)?

For players aged 4-6 inclusive, HHMH has successfully implemented a comprehensive program based on Hockey Canada's modified ice program.  For more information, access the link to Mini Thunder via the main page.  Schedule for this program is accessible via the HHMH website under the appropriate team/group your child is placed on.  You can expect a hockey school program on Saturdays with game days on Sundays.
