Thornhill Community Hockey League

Our league is incredibly excited to welcome players back onto the ice after such a long time! Understandably, a lot has happened since the outbreak of COVID-19 and it has put tremendous strain on minor sports clubs. The safety of our players and their families is our top priority - it is something we take seriously, and we are following the guidance of Hockey Canada and the GTHL and we are adhering to the new health and safety standards they have set out. We will be following all recommended protocols from the Federal/Provincial Governments, City of Markham and York Region Health.

GTHL Canada has made the Return to Hockey Safety Plan available for the upcoming 2021-2022 season, please access the attached document to learn about the measures being put in place.

In May, the Government of Ontario introduced a three-step Roadmap to Reopen plan. Within this plan, it is projected that indoor sports leagues will be able to resume in Stage 3 with restrictions. This has led to a lot of interest from our members wondering about what the TCHL programming will look like for the 2021-2022 season and when we will be able to get back on the ice. We have no idea as to how the season is going to look like now, however, we are hard at work to get the programming up and running.

The Greater Toronto Hockey League announced on Wednesday, May 19 return to play plans for the upcoming 2021-22 season. The Thornhill Community Hockey League is eager to get the kids back onto the ice in a safe and Covid free environment. With the Wednesday announcement from the GTHL, the goal of getting back onto the ice is looking positive for hockey this fall. Please check back for more information on HOUSE LEAGUE REGISTRATION and for REBELS TRYOUTS.
