Background

The 2023-2024 season will be Northwest House League’s 9th year.  It is a viable option for many families, but note that if your child is new to hockey, both house league or community (NWW) hockey are suitable choices.  Players are to choose one program only.

The House League Program will be offered in addition to the traditional community/NWW Hockey for U9 (born 2015 & 2016), U11 (born 2013 & 2014) and U13 ( born 2011 & 2012).

Some of the highlights for House League include:

  • Two ice times per week. This will typically include one practice and one game per week once the game/regular season commences.  The Schedule is tentatively set as below:
  • U9 (Novice)  ice times will be Sunday morning games and practices during the week on Friday evenings – subject to registration numbers).
  • U11 (Atom)  ice times will be Saturday morning games and the practices will be Wednesday or Thursday evenings.
  • U13 (PeeWee) ice times will be Saturday afternoon games and the practices will be Thursday evenings.
  • Evaluations will consist of 3 ice times in September.  Once complete, our House League Coordinators will make their best efforts to create balanced teams.
  • Teams will practice in early October.  The regular schedule will commence in mid-October and end in early March with a break at the end of November.  Our target is to have 35 to 40 ice times scheduled per player.
  • Ice times will be scheduled at the Crowchild Twin Arena in Scenic Acres and West Hillhurst Arena.
  • No fundraising is allowed. The purchasing of ice for additional practices, exhibition games, and tournaments is not permitted.
  • Due to the challenges of forming balanced teams and coach placement, friend requests will be considered but are not guaranteed.  

Some of the differences between the House Leagues and Community (NWW) Hockey include:

  • House League offers a set schedule for the hockey season.
  • With Community Hockey, players are evaluated to teams with players of similar abilities.  Community teams are scheduled for two to three ice times per week, which vary from week to week. House League teams are balanced with all skill levels on each team, and schedules are set.
  • House teams will NOT be sanctioned to play in any tournaments (in Calgary or outside of Calgary) or exhibition games.
  • There will be NO cash calls/fund raising requirement, which is a part of the Community Hockey experience.
  • Hockey fees for the House League are less than the Community Hockey fees mainly due to the different ice requirements between the two streams.  The 2023-2024 House League registration fee will be $780.
