Due to the rapidly increasing rate of Covid in the area, along with the increased exposures through social and family gatherings (both recent and continuing through New Years) , the AOHL Executive have decided to cancel all games for Sunday January 2^nd.    

Our  healthcare systems are overburdened; it is a challenge to get tested; and the disruption to affected players and their families in the case of a COVID exposure can be quite challenging.          

The Executive will meet again on January 6^th for a decision on games for January 9^th.     

We hope that everyone has had an enjoyable Holiday Season so far and we wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Stay Healthy. Socialize responsibly.

Please see below for the link to CARHA's mandatory waiver. This is now a requirement from the insurance company for all participants to sign. This waiver does not affect the insurance provided to you with your membership.

CARHA Hockey's insurance policy is a defense policy, which means if legal action is taken against you (from a hockey standpoint), then the policy would be in effect and protect you. Providing the claim fell under the parameters of the policy for a liability claim (not a criminal act, by example), then your legal fees and any payout would be covered by the insurance. It's important to note that this waiver does not affect the insurance provided to you with your membership.

Thanks

Thank-you to all the player contributions towards the Salvation Army Foodbank fundraiser.
We raised a total of $2,500! Given our late start-up this season and short timeframe to pull this together – this is an awesome job!

I am extremely proud of our player's continued generosity toward the annual fundraiser event.

We are all blessed to have the choice to play hockey this season. Sadly, there are many less fortunate that cannot afford to feed themselves or their families. Today, the AOHL players made a significant difference to help those in need.

A GREAT BIG THANK-YOU to all the players!

Village Arena Closing for the Season as of November 1/21. Games Shift to ACC#2.

The Town of Ajax is closing Village Arena for this season as of November 1, as the overall demand on ice is way down this season. They can accommodate all ice requirements from ACC.

Our next 2 games (Oct 24 and 31) remain at the Village Arena.

As of Nov 7 – All games will be played at ACC#2.   (Note: Details on the times and location for our final game on March 27th is still being worked out. )

Also – we are back to our traditional 4pm to 10pm start times.  

Schedule has been updated.

It’s time to play some hockey!

We are excited to announce the Town of Ajax has approved us to proceed with our season. The AOHL Executive met on September 14 and reviewed the requirements for Return to Play and although there will always be risk associated with Covid, we felt the mandatory double vaccination rule and Arena screening protocols are sufficient to proceed.

Although not perfect, it will be as close to normal as we can get for now.

It is critical that players review the guidelines below carefully before they commit to playing this season. It is completely understandable that some players may choose not to return under the current circumstances. Your team representative from the prior season will be reaching out to you to get your commitment.  Any delay in getting commitments may lead to a delayed start to the season.

DEADLINE:  Friday September 24 to respond to your team rep.  After September 24^th, we will be filling vacancies from the waiting list.

On-line Registration will be opening in the near future.  You will be notified when it is available.  Check back often for the update.

DEADLINE:  Even if you previously filled out your registration, you must fill re-register using the 2021/22 Registration form and waiver by Friday September 24^th 

For players that are on the waiting list – no action required. You will be contacted by our Registrar to fill vacant positions.

Target season start is Sunday Oct 17.

25 game schedule. 

League fees:   $300

Town of Ajax Facility/Arena Protocols

The Town of Ajax has provided the following Return to Play protocols for the Arena. 

It is all of our responsibilities to abide strictly by these protocols so we can minimize, and hopefully avoid any Covid outbreaks.

These protocols are currently under review by the Town, and will be amended as the situation dictates.

• Double vaccination is mandatory.   Proof of double vaccination will be required.  
• Before entering the arena/facility (players, referees, timekeeper)  must complete a COVID-19 Screening Survey www.ajax.ca/CovidScreen  OR complete the hard copy form upon arrival.

(click on link to review criteria).

• Cannot enter arena until 15 min before and exit arena 15 min after. This is strictly enforced, as there are cleaning protocols that must also be completed by staff.
• Facility person will check screening surveys at the door.
• Mask on at all times including dressing room, except when ready to get on ice.
• No showers
• No water fill stations (you must bring your own water).
• No spectators

The AOHL Executive is hopeful with the above protocols, including the double vaccination requirement, there will not be a Covid exposure.

As a player - if you are not feeling well (even if it is not covid related) – STAY HOME.

If a Covid exposure does occur at the rink and it is deemed to be high risk  (which will be determined by Public Health),  it is possible that one or both teams affected may be restricted from playing the following week.  This decision will not be made by the AOHL – it will be made by Public Health. 

Looking forward to getting back on the ice and seeing everyone again.

Lets Play!

Hello Everyone,

We were hoping to share some positive news on our plans for the 2021/2022 season, however fall ice allocations from the town are currently on hold pending moving out of Stage 3 of the Ontario re-opening. As mentioned in the July update, plans and guidelines for return to play are still being finalized for indoor sports by both the Local Health Units and the Town of Ajax, post Stage 3.

Unfortunately, case counts are on the rise; which may further delay the move to the next stage.

As a result of the heightened health risks associated with covid-19/variants and the game of ice hockey, as well as the age demographics of our membership, it will be mandatory that all players be vaccinated this season.  The Executive received unanimous support in favour of mandatory vaccinations at our recent AGM.    This will significantly help to limit  exposure to our players and their families.

Play safe. Get vaccinated!

The website will be updated when we have further information to share.

The outlook is very promising these days with Ontario opening back-up and the awesome vaccine uptake.

We are very hopeful to return to a “normal” hockey season this year.   As we have only just reached Stage 3 of Ontario re-opening, we can all appreciate plans and guidelines for return to play are still being finalized for indoor sports by both the Local Health Units and the Town of Ajax.

The Exec is currently preparing for the start of a season.  Once we have received formal communications from the Town of Ajax on protocols and ice allocations, we will open up the Registration for 2021/22.  Keep checking back for updates.

Although we did not complete a season last year, we are required to host an AGM meeting to approve the prior year’s minutes, accept the financials and discuss topics that benefit the league.    

This year's AGM will be via video conference on Wed. July 21st @ 7:00pm. 

If you would like to attend the AGM, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by July 19th in order to receive the invite.  If there is something you would like to have added to the agenda, please include it in your RSVP so we can plan accordingly.
