The Ted Reeve Tornados Select program is an optional, competitive extension of our House League program.  Select is an excellent opportunity for house league players who are interested in more hockey development and competition against other clubs.

We offer NYHL Select teams at every level from U8 to U18 and some age divisions have two teams.  Players must try out for Select teams.

Our Select teams compete in the North York Hockey League (NYHL).   The NYHL is the largest community based Select program in Canada and oversees 28 member clubs and over 250 teams.  Like our House League program, the NYHL is governed by the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL) and subject to the operating guidelines of the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) and Hockey Canada (HC).

Select teams have 1 game and 1-2 practices a week (this is in addition to House League games and practices).  There is an additional cost to participate in Select. 

Players trying out for Select must be registered in advance and attend as many tryouts as possible for their age division.  All players registered in Ted Reeve House League for the 2026-27 season are automatically registered to try out for our Select teams. No further sign up is required. House League registration opens on April 1 at 7 am.

U10 to U18 tryouts for the 2026/2027 season will be held May 9 to May 14, 2026.  

U8 and U9 NYHL (and CDS) tryouts will be held April 20 to April 25, 2026.  

Divisions U7 – U9 play in our Competitive Development Stream (CDS) program.  Please visit https://tedreevehockey.com/cds/ for more info.  **Exception: U8 Red, U9 Red, and U9 Black will play in the NYHL for the 2026-27 season

Please contact the Head Coach before tryouts to let them know your player plans to attend.  

Attending all tryouts gives players the best chance to showcase their skills for the coaches.

All players interested in attending Select (NYHL & CDS) evaluations should be registered for Ted Reeve House League.  If players are registered through the GTHL evaluation registration link, players will need to present proof of registration at each evaluation.  We cannot guarantee a House League spot will be available if players are not registered for House League before Select tryouts.

When Do Select Teams Play?

In addition to attending regular house league games every Saturday, Select teams play an additional 1-2 games per week and attend one additional practice. Some teams may choose to attend tournaments but this varies from team to team and year to year. We advise you to check with your player’s Select coach.

 

How Much Does It Cost To Play Select Hockey?

All Select players must be registered in house league and pay the house league fee. Select players must also pay an additional Select fee for the season that ranges from $2300-$3200 depending on the team.  Team budgets are managed by the team’s bench staff.  Fundraising and sponsorship can lower team fees.  A significant portion of the team’s expenses goes towards ice costs, jerseys, and NYHL registration.  Any team funds remaining at the end of the season are refunded to the families.

Select Tryouts for the 2026/2027 Hockey Season

Tryouts for age divisions U10 to U18 will be held May 9 to May 14, 2026.  Exact times/dates per team to be posted in March.

Tryouts for U11 and younger will be run as per the new U7, U9, U11 player pathways as set out by Hockey Canada.  Please see our home page for more details on this initiative.

For more information please check out the GTHL website www.gthlcanada.com   Also, please check back here frequently for updates.

Does my Select Player Really Have to Play House League?

Yes. Failure to attend house league games will result in suspension from Select games. Furthermore, suspensions in house league also apply to games in the Select league and vice versa until the suspension is over.

We take this seriously at the Ted Reeve Hockey Association.

Select players are expected to take a leadership role on their house league teams. This means passing the puck, helping their house league teammates (especially those that struggle) and contributing to the overall team experience.

If you have a child in Select, we strongly encourage you to review this section with them. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that without house league Select would not exist.
