You are now entering into a very important phase in your hockey career. Hopefully, with hard work and dedication your skills will improve and you will enjoy the game and achieve your goals. The perspective of playing Junior hockey can be an exciting one. It can also be disappointing if decisions are made without having the proper information, or not surrounding yourself with people who can become a positive influence in your hockey decisions. The purpose of this Player Information Booklet is to assist parents and players to make an informed decision as to when and where to play Junior hockey and how to recognize good organizations and proper role models. While this Player Information Booklet may not include an answer to every question you may have about playing Junior hockey, we have attempted to answer the more popular questions people have and to provide you with information on where to source out answers to other questions you may have about playing Junior hockey. We have a tremendous group of volunteers within the OHA who work hard to ensure your experience in Junior hockey is both a quality and affordable experience. You may contact us for further information through our web site at www.ohahockey.org. Take it from us, it’s a great way to avoid disappointment!
