U16 and U18 Pilot Program - 2026/2027 Season


May. 01, 2026

Indus Minor Hockey Association and Strathmore Minor Hockey are pleased to announce a pilot project for the 2026/2027 season that will impact U18 players.

This season, the two associations will collaborate to host a Regional Tier 1 U16 team, while also combining U18 players to form three additional teams at the U18 Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3 levels. This approach is intended to support healthy roster sizes and foster more meaningful, competitive play throughout the season.

This initiative has been developed in response to feedback from members of both associations, including a desire for larger rosters, more evenly matched teams, and an enhanced overall competitive experience. As a pilot program, ongoing feedback will be gathered throughout the season to evaluate its effectiveness and help inform future decisions.

Please view the attached letter and stay tuned for more additional information as the program develops.
