The Local League season is kicking off very soon, and PMHA is excited to welcome new and returning Panthers this season.
Here are some key things to know:
Registration
- Registration is still open. Some divisions are on a waiting list, but more teams may open up, so register soon if you haven't already!
Volunteering
- We are still in need of volunteers, including on-ice volunteers and coaching staff. Reach out to your division director if you are interested in any kind of volunteer role. Find your director contact here>
- If you are planning to be volunteer, you should apply IMMEDIATELY for a Vulnerable Sector Check, and ensure you have other required certifications.

Pre-season skates
- Local League pre-season begins the week of Sept 16.
- Keep an eye out for emails from your division director letting you know which team # to attend for pre-season skates -- and please be sure to attend the correct ice time.
- Check the calendar for your ice times>
Regular season
- Toward the end of pre-seasons coaches and division directors will place you into your final team for the regular season. (It may not be the same team # as pre-season).
- Regular season games will start from October 15th
Getting your player ready
- All players from hockey school and up must take the ice with full equipment -- this includes a mouthguard and neckguard.
- Players who don't bring this necessary equipment will be asked to leave the ice for their own safety and for insurance reasons.
- Here's a handy equipment checklist from OMHA >
- Players should also bring a water bottle to each session, clearly marked with their name.
As always, keep an eye on the website and PMHA social media for more information as we have it!
