With the New Year upon us the South Simcoe Ball Hockey League is happy to announce that registration for the upcoming spring 2024 season is now open.

Registration was available to 2023 spring & summer members for the month of December therefore we only have a limited number of spots remaining.

We will continue to offer a local league ball hockey experience.

There are no residency rules in place therefore you may register where the schedule suits you best.

• Barrie – Thursday Evenings (Eastview Arena, East Bayfield Arena)
• Bradford – Tuesday Evenings (Bradford District Community Centre)
• Essa – Thursday Evenings (Thornton Arena)
• Innisfil – Sunday (Innisfil Rec Centre, Stroud Arena)

Please note that when selecting a home centre, you are agreeing to playing 80% of your regular season games on the day and arena’s you’ve selected. The remaining 20% of regular season games you’d travel to the opposing centre on their day of play and arenas. This could be a maximum of 3 travel games.

We are offering the following divisions.

• U6 – Innisfil (2018-2019)
• U6 – Barrie (2018-2019)
• U8 – (2016-2017)

Unfortunately to ensure we meet requirements with our equalization policy we do not offer friend requests. In early April all players will be assessed through evaluations and drafted onto teams by our selected coaches. Siblings registered in the same divisions will be placed on the same team.

The season will commence on April 16th and end on June 23rd however this year we have changed our championship weekend from a 3-day double elimination bracket tournament to a 4-day triple elimination tournament beginning on June 20th.

Fees for our:

• U6 (Learn to Play) division - $130 per player (includes t-shirt style jersey and baseball cap)
• U8 through U18 divisions - $230 per player (includes full sublimated uniforms)

Included with the registration are the following:

• Membership fees
• Player insurance
• Online statistics
• Weekly and year end awards
• Championship day tournament (minimum 3 games)
• Pizza, snacks and drinks on final day.

Registration will remain open until a division is full.

We are currently at 85% capacity however later next week we hope to have additional floor time open up in Innisfil and Barrie. This will reduce our capacity to roughly 70%.

Don’t wait

Every year the South Simcoe Ball Hockey League thrives to meet previous season registration numbers with always the hope for growth.

After being away for two years with COVID restrictions our league along with many others find themselves in a decline. The reason for this remains unknown but after discussing with several nearby sports its seems that this expands outside of ball hockey as well.

The season is set to begin on May 1^st and some of our divisions may begin with smaller rosters than where we would like to see them. Please note that every team will have enough uniforms to have a full roster therefore if you have a friend that would like to join the team after we get started, they can do so by registering online and notifying the league on which team they would like to join.

Because of the decline in less registered players the league had no choice but to change its schedule format from 80% home games to 70%

Innisfil will continue to play Sunday’s, Bradford on Tuesday’s and Barrie on Thursday’s

Schedules are posted online and will be accessible from the TeamLinkt app once your child is place on a team.

Most children have been placed on teams for the exception of Innisfil players registered in the U8, U10 & U12 divisions.

We hope to have this done later this week.

We were told that our uniforms would arrive for opening day however after discussing with our supplier overseas they believe that there could be a delay with shipping due to the ongoing war happening in the Ukraine.

The league does have a backup plan if these problems should arise to get us through the first couple of games.

Provincial try-outs this year will begin in late May however due to the lack of available floor time it could be possible that these would take place in Innisfil on a Wednesday or Friday evening. We should have information regarding this once the season gets going.

Please ensure that all players are equipped with proper equipment. This includes a hockey helmet with full facial cage, hockey gloves, soccer style shin guards, running shoes and a hockey stick with no plastic blade. A failure to have any of the above-mentioned items will have the player sidelined until he/she can provide all mandatory equipment.

Lastly and most importantly

The South Simcoe Ball Hockey Leagues still requires coaches in the following areas:

• U10 – Bradford
• U12 – Innisfil
• U14 – Barrie
• U17 – Innisfil

Until these voluntary positions are taken, we cannot proceed to move forward. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Registration for the Georgina Minor Ball Hockey League is now available.

This year we will be offering the following divisions.

• Tyke (2011-2012)
• Novice (2009-2010)
• Atom (2007-2008)
• Peewee (2005-2006)
• Highschool (2001-2004)

All divisions this upcoming season will be played on Sunday however there may be occasional games on Saturday to compensate for any break in play that will occur during long weekends.

This year we have made a few changes and registration will close on April 1st. This will allow us to have all members come out for player evaluation to ensure teams are balanced properly.

The season will commence on the weekend of April 28th and end on June 23rd.

Early bird registration fees of $170 per player will be available until January 12 however after this date it will increase to $185 until our registration closes on April 6th.

We will be offering incentives for certified ice hockey coaches willing to take on a team. Information regarding this will be posted in the New Year after our board meeting on January 18th.

Last summer the South Simcoe Ball Hockey leagues hosted the Ontario Ball Hockey Federation Minor Provincials. It used rinks in Barrie, Innisfil, and Bradford. At which time we got a taste of something that had never before been done; We played ball hockey out of the Bob Fallis Arena.

157 teams from across the province participated or competed in this tournament. All those that had the opportunity to play at the Bob Fallis arena preferred not to play elsewhere

Having been involved in minor hockey for the last 15 years, this could easily be one of the top 5 facilities I've seen ball hockey played out of.

At that time I felt that it was important that the Bradford Minor Ball Hockey League and its members all got the chance to use this facility rather than the old Bradford CC.

Earlier this year we put in a request to the Town to use this facility as our new ball hockey home. Great news was brought forward to us early this week and our request has been granted.

All regular season games this year will be played out of the Bob Fallis Arena.

With many other sport activities happening in town being played on the weekdays the board of directors have decided to change our playing days to Sunday afternoon and ending in the evenings depending on what division you’re registered with.

The season will commence in late April and end in late June.

Draft times for divisions are as follows:

Tyke: 11:00am or 1:00pm
Novice: 12:00pm or 2:00pm
Atom: 3:00pm or 5:00pm
Peewee: 4:00pm or 6:00pm
Highschool: 7:00pm or 8:00pm

The Barrie Minor Ball Hockey League has now opened its online registration for the 2015 spring season.

In-person registration dates will become available once the dates have been confirmed.  More info in regards to this will be made available on our website shortly.

You currently have two options when registering online.

Option 1 allows you to fill the form and use the pay later option.  This will save your spot for a maximum of 14 days. You will receive an email with further instructions on how to remit payment.

Option 2 allows you to register and guarantee your spot by submitting payment using a credit card. We currently use PayPal for this option, and in the process of registering you may be asked to create a PayPal account. Please note that this is not required to proceed to the check out.

Our days of play will remain the same as last year.

• Squirt (2009-2010) Tuesday at 6:00pm
• Tyke (2007-2008) Thursday at 6:00pm or 6:50pm
• Novice (2005-2006) Tuesday at 7:00 or 7:50pm
• Atom (2003-2004) Thursday 7:40pm or 8:30pm
• Peewee (2001-2002) Thursday nights (if double pad available)
• Bantam (1999-2000) Tuesday nights (if double pad is available)

We plan to play most of our games out of the East Bayfield Community Centre but if floor time is available we will try to schedule a few games at Holly. (Maximum 2)

The season will begin on the mid April and run until the end of June

All players are required to have the following equipment:

• Helmet with full facial cage
• Hockey gloves
• Soccer or ball hockey shin guards
• Hockey stick with no plastic blade (wood or composite are ok)
• Running shoes

The league is also looking for young officials and timekeepers.

All referees will have to attend a half-day OBHA certification clinic. These dates should be available in about one month. Timekeepers will be trained at the rink by one of our staff members or volunteers.

We also accept students looking to receive their high school community hours.

Lastly, the league is looking for your assistance is seeking sponsorships. If you know anyone that may be interested, please have him or her contact the league directly.
