Ted Reeve Hockey Association’s House League is the foundation of our hockey program and is open to children at every skill level. From superstar to just learning to skate, house league offers a less competitive environment than Select. House league directors and coaches aim to develop team players who respect their peers, understand the game, and play it with heart. All house league games and practices are located in Ted Reeve arena.
Ted Reeve Hockey Association’s house league is a great way to introduce your budding superstar to our national pastime and carry on a Toronto East end tradition. In fact, we have many multi-generational families that have played or volunteered at Ted Reeve going back 65 years!

U5/U6/U7 (Initiation/Development)
- We offer a house league initiation and development program for 4, 5 and 6 year olds with a 45 minute session in Ted Reeve arena on Sunday mornings between 7 am and 10 am.
- Players are introduced to the principles of hockey shooting, passing, and skating in a 1/2 ice format in a relaxed and fun environment run by professional instructors. Skills and drills are followed by a short scrimmage.
- The program also includes skill and skating development sessions on Saturday mornings between 7 am and 9 am in the Bubble next to Ted Reeve arena. On Saturdays 4 and 5 year olds receive 30 minutes of skill development every week and 6 year olds receive 50 minutes on alternating Saturdays. These sessions are run by a professional instructor.
- Please note: This program focuses on development. There are no formal games in this division.
- Players are grouped by age at the start of the season but may move up or down during the season depending on skill level.
U8 and U9
- U8 and U9 games are on Saturday mornings between 7:00 am and 11:00 am
- Half-ice format as mandated by Hockey Canada and the Ontario Hockey Federation. Please click the box below to read about Hockey Canada’s U9 Half-Ice Mandate.
- Bi-weekly one hour practices in Ted Reeve arena run by a professional instructor on Monday nights from 5 pm to 6 pm (U8) and 6 pm to 7 pm (U9). Focus is on hockey skills and skating drills.
U8 & U9 Half-ice Hockey Canada Mandate
In the 2018/2019 hockey season the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) implemented a half ice program that affected U9 players. All minor hockey associations were required to switch to a half ice format for their U7 and U9 programs. (Our U7 program already followed this format). This format change aligned with the Hockey Canada modified ice mandate which came into effect for the 2019/2020 hockey season in which all U9 programming used half ice.
The goal of switching to half ice is to modify U9 programming to be more age appropriate. Players will be practicing and playing games on half the ice surface in an effort to promote players’ stick handling, skating, passing, and shooting skills before they progress to play on a full ice surface at 8-9 years of age.
The Ted Reeve Hockey Association supports this initiative and purchased the necessary equipment to fulfill the requirements of the program.
