The FHA is pleased to announce its programming for the coming season. Hockey here and everywhere in Ontario will see changes to our sport and a departure from “Traditional Hockey” programming. Under the auspice and regulations of Hockey Canada, OHF, OMHA, Public Health Unit (PHU) and the City of Hamilton the details of our programming are highlighted below. The programming will be subject to change to respond to changes of Public Health and the City of Hamilton if the COVID-19 pandemic environment changes. The OHF Return to Play has a specific program that member associations are required to follow to protect the health and welfare of players and communities.
