Select Hockey: Competitive Play for FHHA House League Players

The Forest Hill Hockey Association (FHHA) is proud to offer the Select Hockey program for our House League players in the U10 to U18 age groups. Select Hockey provides a fantastic opportunity for players to enjoy non-contact, competitive hockey against other clubs in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

 

Eligibility Requirement:

To participate in Select Hockey, players must be registered and actively participating in the FHHA House League. This ensures that all Select players are part of our broader hockey community and benefit from the development and fun of House League play.

 

About the Select Program:

  • Team Formation: Select teams are chosen during tryouts held in the spring. The number of teams is determined by the number of eligible players, ice time availability, and coaching resources. FHHA typically fields at least one Select team per age group. Where sufficient interest and registration exist, a second team may be added to that age group.

  • Non-Contact Hockey: Like all FHHA programs, Select Hockey is non-contact, prioritizing safety and inclusivity.

  • Extra Ice Time: Select players gain additional ice time through weekly practices and competitive games, on top of their regular weekly House League games.

  • League Play: Select teams compete in the North York Hockey League (NYHL), playing against other minor hockey associations across various GTA arenas.

Program Features

  • Commitment: During the NYHL (Select Hockey) season, teams generally play one game and have at least one practice per week. The number of games is likely to increase during tournaments and NYHL spring playoffs.

  • The Select hockey season begins in October (after Thanksgiving) and runs through mid-April.

  • It is a Forest Hill Hockey Association tradition that Select teams enter one out of town tournament per season.  In addition, Select teams may enter up to two local tournaments per season.

  • FHHA Apparel: Each player receives a FHHA Select team jerseys, matching hockey socks and optional team apparel.

  • Photos: Each player receives a custom FHHA individual and team photo package.

Cost

  • Participation in the Select Hockey program requires additional fees beyond the House League registration fee, which is payable only after teams have been selected. Each team’s Coach and Manager will provide a budget for year. The budget will include Forest Hill Select Fees, NYHL fees and fees to operate the team. The Forest Hill Select fee includes team uniforms, weekly practice ice and NYHL team registration. The NYHL fees will include entry fees for the entire family for each Select game. Team operation fees can include, but are not limited to, tournament entry fees, travel additional ice time, or exhibition games. All details will be provided by the Coach and Manager of the Select team.

  • To ensure transparency, a detailed letter and team budget outlining the fees and program specifics will be provided at the beginning of the season following tryouts. This ensures families understand the financial commitments involved while gaining access to enhanced skill development, competitive play, and memorable experiences through the Select program.

Financial Assistance

If you require financial assistance, special arrangements can be made. Please feel free to contact the FHHA president at president@fhha.org, or our treasurer at treasurer@fhha.org.  All inquiries will be kept strictly confidential.
