General Information

Welcome to Collingwood Girls Hockey Association. We look forward to an amazing SEVENTH season!

Local League/House League games are played within the Simcoe Muskoka Girls Hockey League, SMGHL. This includes Barrie, Midland, Orillia and Huntsville. Players can expect 1-2 weekly practices; power skating and skill development included. Games played on weekends for most age divisions. U18 schedule could be revised to include some mid week games.

Competitive League Games are played within OWHL Southern League. Competitive Play is governed by the Ontario Women's Hockey League, (OWHL). Players can expect 2 weekly practices; power skating and skill development included. Dry-land training based on team preference. League games played mid week and/or weekends. Travel loop is determined in the fall.

Team Fee

Players WILL be asked to pay a "TEAM FEE" to the team account to cover additional costs that will be incurred by the team during the season. Team fees are set, collected and managed by the team manager, and are separate from and in addition to the Competitive Fee payable to COLGHA. Player sponsorship can help with this extra team cost, which is determined by the team. 

Fundraising- Families WILL be asked to participate in our Annual Fundraiser.

$200.00 Association Fundraiser Deposit

• Each player in the association will be responsible for selling at least one book of tickets for the annual Association Fundraiser. Each book of 10 tickets is valued at $200 ($20/ticket).
• At the time of registration, each player will commit to a $200 deposit for her book of 10 tickets. 
• Families will recoup these funds through the sale of the book of tickets and subsequently, keep those funds, up to the cost of one book of tickets ($200).
• Players will receive their book of tickets for the Association Fundraiser very early in the season. The third and final payment on November 1, 2023 covers the $200 Fundraiser Booklet, thereby providing all families ample time to sell their 10 tickets and collect the funds necessary to make that final payment. 
• It is understood that some players will have difficulty selling their book of tickets, so please reach out to teammates who often will be able to sell more than one book of tickets.
• In all the years we’ve had this association fundraiser, we haven’t been aware of any issues selling the equivalent of one book of tickets per player on each team.
• Additional books of tickets can be requested through your Team Manager once all players on your team have sold their full book of tickets.
• Prizes to be determined.
• The association-wide fundraiser:
• helps COLGHA maintain a low registration fee
• provides opportunities for skill development programs
• funds the purchase of association-wide equipment (pucks, jerseys, goalie equipment, etc.)
• helps the association provide player assistance to families in need
• provides individual player and team photos
• allows our teams to celebrate the season at a year-end banquet and awards night

Financial Assistance

The COLGHA is committed to inclusive and accessible hockey. In our first year of operation the COLGHA was given an incredible donation towards player assistance. We continue to build and draw from this gift.
