Age Division Name Change Bulletin

 

As most of you are aware, on Saturday, November 16, 2019, the Hockey Canada membership ratified the Board of Directors' decision to change the names of the hockey age divisions (as they will appear in the rule book and in the HCR).

 

The age divisions will become U7, U9, U11, U13, U15, U18, impacting all minor hockey programs under the Hockey Canada umbrella. The change will come into effect for the 2020 - 2021 season.

 

Here is the official release from Hockey Canada, announcing the change to age-division names: https://www.hockeycanada.ca/…/2020-21-coach-changes-made-to…
