Northumberland Minor Hockey

It's that time of year again - TRYOUT SEASON - We are now open to accept Tryout Registrations for the 2025/26 season The tryout registration process is going to be very different this year.  Please read this post carefully and if you have any questions, please reach out to our Communications Director, Registrar or OMHA Centre Contact. Tryout Registration is for U10-18 Divisions only (U8 and U9MD, U15BB and U18BB will be done in the Fall).  Due to the current open borders  any player (age 9 to 17) can book and pay for our Northumberland Nighthawks tryout registration.

That's a Wrap on the 2024/25 Season for all our Rep teams.  Earlier in March we held a Player appreciation Night for our 2007 AA and A Nighthawks.  The players, a couple of the coaches as well as the families received a little extra attention and recognition as the last playoff game of Round 1 was played on home ice in as a Nighthawks.  It is most certainly a bittersweet moment realizing that the days of rushing meals, packing the hockey bag, taping sticks and making sure nothing is forgotten before heading out to the arena have come to an end.

Tomorrow will be the final day for our 2024/25 House League Program.  Championship games will be played at the CCC or Jack Burger - please check the Organization Calendar for match-ups and game times Post game banquets by division will be hosted in Baltimore and Jack Burger.  Here is a list of Divisions, Times and place. 

The NMHA will be holding Spring Tryouts for the U18AA team at the end of April.  Traditionally U18 tryouts are done in the Fall after all the Jr camps are finished.   Based on the fact that other centres in Lakeshore are hosting Spring Tryouts for the U18 division we felt we needed to do the same. The Preskates for U18 are open to book and free but can only be reserved for a 2008 or 2009 player that played with the Nighthawks during the 2024/25 season.

As of noon tomorrow  (Tuesday March 25) registration for Northumberland Nighthawks Pre-skates  and Body Checking sessions will open.  Both of these are offered for FREE Pre-skate sessions: 1. Offered for U10 to U18 Divisions 2. Pre-skate ice times are 1hr long and run from April 14 to 24 - check our calendar for ice times  3. Pre-skates are for players who played with NMHA for the 2024-25 season this would include NRP players rostered to one of our rep teams and players playing on an NMHA house league team for the 2024/25 season
