Program Overview
Our Representative hockey program offers kids the opportunity to play competitive hockey - while still making player development and fun a top priority. Rep teams provide the additional challenge of competitive play against other communities.
Rep hockey involves additional commitments in terms of cost and time, but provides the additional benefit of more ice time - both for practices and games.
FAQ
What rep teams does Erin-Hillsburgh usually run?
In each age group we typically form: U9(Novice), U11(Atom), U13(PeeWee), U15(Bantam), U18 (Midget) EHMHA will typically field one B/BB team.
Why is the team called the "B/BB team"
All minor hockey centres in Ontario are classified based on the size of population, hockey enrollment, etc.
Erin-Hillsburgh is classified as a B centre, and in OMHA playoff rounds, they will compete against other similar sized centres. The OMHA has added a BB level at U15 and up that is non-body checking, our U15 & U18 teams play at the BB non-body checking level.
When are Rep hockey tryouts?
Tryouts for U11-U18 for the 2024/25 Season will be held in the spring, sometime in early May. U9 tryouts will be held in the fall.

How much does Rep hockey cost?
In addition to a player's basic registration fees at the local league level, once your player has made the rep program an additional $700-$900 is paid to the EHMHA to cover the cost of regular season additional ice and referees. With the approval of the players’ families team fees may also be charged to cover additional expenses that might consist of additional ice, tournament fees, team apparel, team functions, etc. Each team manager is responsible to provide players and families with a detailed budget for approval.
What is the time commitment for Rep hockey?
Most rep players will be on the ice approx 3 – 5 times per week; generally 1 and sometimes 2 practices, plus 1 home and 1 away game per week including and up to 3 tournaments.
Games and practices could take place both during the week and on the weekend, and because of the requirement to coordinate with out of town teams, a Rep team’s schedule is less consistent then that of a Local League team.
What leagues do our Rep teams participate in and how far do they travel?
Our rep teams participate in the tri-county league, traditionally in the Harrison loop.
