2025-2026 Season Information
PLEASE READ ALL THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON THE UPCOMING 2025-2026 SEASON. THERE IS A LOT OF CHANGES FOR NEXT SEASON AND WE WANT ALL ELMHA FAMILIES TO BE AWARE OF THESE.  

2025-2026 Registration

OMHA and OHF have changed a lot of the rules regarding boundaries for the upcoming season. ELMHA’s goal is to give every child that played hockey in East Lambton last year or reside in our boundaries a team to play on next year. What this means is that early registration is VERY important. Registration is now open, and it will be closing on April 21st.  Every East Lambton child registered before this date will be guaranteed a spot on a team in East Lambton. This allows us to collect our registration numbers and decide how many “out of boundary” players we can accommodate. Our goal is to keep our team sizes relatively small and keep every East Lambton child that wants to play here, a spot to play.  

Please read all the information on the “Register Here” Section to provide more information on what registration looks like for next season. Please only register for "Rep/Ae Tryouts" or "U7/Local League". You do not register for both. 

U16 Team

Also, new for next season, East Lambton received approval from OMHA to add a U16B team for the 2025-2026 season.  Coaching Applications for this team is now live and will be closed on March 21, 2025, at midnight.
