Welcome to 2025 and the Second Half of the Season
Now that we have passed the holidays, our regular season is back on schedule. For those looking for information on how the 2nd half of the season is structured, please check out the rest of the article.
U6/U7 Division
Our U6 and U7 division returns to its regularly scheduled ice time, Saturday and Sunday mornings. Both divisions will have ice through to our end of season Championship Weekend, March 29th and 30th.
Group Ticket Event and Mini-Game at the Niagara IceDogs - January 26th.
This event is open to all our U6 and U7 families to attend the IceDogs game on the 26th. Players and coaches will be free, parents and siblings will be $15 per ticket. Details on ticket orders will be available later in January. Part of this event includes having some of our U7 players participate in a 5 minute "mini-game" between the 1st and 2nd period of the IceDogs game.
U9 Division
The U9 division will now advance to full-ice games (no more blue-boards) for the remainder of the season. The 4 teams will have ice through to the end of season Championship Weekend, March 29th and 30th. Championship Weekend will include a full-ice, 3 game round robin, semi-finals, and championship medal games.
U11 to U18 Division
At the end of January, all teams will be tiered into matching divisions - top teams, middle ranked teams, and lower ranked teams - and only play within their tier for the rest of the season. The tiered schedule will be set by the NDHL and available to us after February 1st. Each team will only play teams in their new tier, and at the end, the top 4 teams in each tier move on to the local league championships (March 22/23).
U21 Division
U21 teams have three tournaments set for this half of the season, Jan 10-12 in London, Jan 31-Feb 2 in St Catharines, and Feb 14-18 in London. Schedules are posted on the website.
