As a non-profit Association, we depend on numerous members to facilitate the season and optimize the experience for our players. Please review the important details regarding the LMHA Volunteer Bond Program.

‘C’ Division players will take the ice starting the week of September 9th, 2024. The season runs until about mid-March concluding with the Langley Cup (U11 through U18) and our Jean Adams Memorial Tournament (U7 through U9). Rep or ‘A’ Hockey Evaluations begin at the end of August and the season also runs until about mid-March. Please check the website frequently for updates.

A Rep Team or “Representative” Team is the highest level of hockey that can be played within LMHA at the Under 11 through Under 18 divisions only. The Rep program is a “tryout format” in which players/parents must specifically register for and pay a non-refundable Rep Evaluation Fee to be eligible to participate. Rep teams travel more, play some games further away than ‘C’ teams, and have more ice time. If you are trying out for Rep hockey, we encourage you to consider the additional cost and time commitment required should your player make a rep team.

Our association has over 60 teams and upwards of 1000 players. There is a limited amount of ice in Langley which does mean that most of our players will get to experience the hockey tradition of a 6am practice, often taking place before school but sometimes on the weekends as well. We do our best to try and not schedule our youngest players to practice early in the day or late at night. However, this will vary from season to season based on ice availability. The benefit of morning practices is that your afternoons and evenings are free to allow you to participate in other activities.

At the beginning of the season, you will have a team meeting for your Head Coach to outline what the season will look like. Most ‘C’ Division teams will participate in at least one tournament; it could be close to home or a bit further away and require a hotel stay. Please note that younger divisions are not permitted to travel outside of the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association (PCAHA). Most players will say tournaments are their favorite part of playing hockey! Lots of memories are made at away tournaments and it is a good chance for the team to get to know each other. All teams are scheduled to play PCAHA league games however the number of games and the start date will vary based on the Division. All additional team expenses are above the member’s Season Registration Fees and are collected by the team’s Treasurer based upon the agreed budget.

At the beginning of the season for the ‘C’ division, all players are evaluated to be drafted onto balanced teams. The purpose is to keep teams as equitable as possible; therefore, LMHA does not accept any requests to be on the same team as a peer. Special consideration may be considered upon request and at the discretion of the applicable Division Manager. LMHA will place same aged siblings or siblings residing in the same household on the same ‘C’ hockey team. Please ensure that you submit a request to your Division Manager by the end of August proceeding the start of the season.

Home games and practices are played at the Langley Event Centre (LEC), Twin Rinks, Sportsplex (SPX), George Preston Recreation Centre (GPRC), and NTR. (NTR is a smaller ice surface used for our youngest players). Away games (if applicable) are played at other arenas in the Lower Mainland.

Our Under 7 and Under 9 programs, (2016 – 2019 birth years), are designed to develop all hockey skills by first introducing the fundamentals of skating. We understand that some players will not develop an interest in hockey until a later age. Since divisions are determined by age and not skill, there is no minimum experience level required, however the player may feel more comfortable and have more fun if they get some basic skating skills and hockey experience by participating in a program before their first season of minor hockey begins. If your player is starting hockey in U11 or above, please reach out to your Division Manager to let them know, prior to team formation. This will assist in proper placement.

We are always looking for coaches! If you are interested in being a Head Coach please visit our Apply to Coach page. All Head and Assistant Coaches must be approved by LMHA and certified as per the requirements of Hockey Canada. Please ensure your certifications are up to date prior to the start of the season. Details are outlined on our Team Official page.

LMHA will ensure that all coaches are aware of when coaching courses are being offered. Coaching courses fill up quickly so please register for the applicable course(s) as soon as the links are live which is typically in late September / early October. Upon certification, LMHA will advise when team officials can request to be reimbursed for their expenses. Failure to complete the required courses may result in the team official being deemed ineligible and removed from the roster. At the start of the season, and at minimum to be rostered to a team and eligible to participate, all candidates MUST have the "Big 3". A valid Criminal Record Check (CRC), a current Respect in Sport – Activity Leader (RIS), and the Concussion Awareness Training Tool (CATT) certifications. Under no circumstances, can a member participate with a team until they are properly added to the team’s Hockey Canada Roster (HCR) by LMHA.
