Local League Fees & What to Expect - 2026/2027 Season

Registration Fees

For the 2026/2027 season, registration fees have increased by 5% (with the exception of U7), to reflect rising ice rental costs. In previous seasons, the Association did not always increase fees when ice costs increased.

New to Hockey: If your daughter has never played hockey with a Hockey Canada sanctioned association, please email the treasurer to receive a one-time discount of $150 this season treasurer@orilliagirlshockey.com. This promo is only available for the U9 to U18 House League divisions.

The Association has also eliminated the Fundraising Raffle program moving forward. A Volunteer Levy program has been introduced and is outlined below.

Practices & Games (Except U7)

All local league teams will have one practice/week and one game/week.

Season consists of 18 games, 9 home and 9 away. All teams will share practice ice.

Additional ice time may be made available based on the ice allocated to the Association.

Home games will be scheduled on the weekend.

All Local League teams will be registered in the Hawks Home Tournament.  Any additional tournaments will be decided on by the local league teams and fees would be required to be covered by individual team fees and would not be covered by Association registration fees.

Development information for the 26-27 season will be forthcoming once the Association has decided on the format for development.

U7 Development Program

The U7 development program jerseys are sponsored by Timbits. The U7 development format has been modified to include 2 ice times (practices) per week and as a result the registration fee has increased.

The U7 team plays 4-5 games per season and are generally scheduled in the second half of the season.

Development information for the 26-27 season will be forthcoming once the Association has decided on the format for development.

Volunteer Levy Program

Our organization relies heavily on volunteers to operate successfully. Volunteering strengthens our Hawks community, builds relationships, and creates a shared sense of purpose while setting a positive example for our athletes about service and commitment.

Every coach, team parent, event helper, and board member who volunteers their time helps reduce overhead costs and keeps registration fees as affordable as possible.

Volunteering is also an excellent opportunity for high school students to complete volunteer service hours.

Volunteer Levy Details

Beginning this season, a $100 Volunteer Levy will be added to every player registration.

To receive the levy back:

• A minimum of four (4) volunteer hours must be completed per registered player
• Once a volunteer form has been submitted and approved, the player’s account will be credited $100

Team Managers will provide additional information throughout the season and help coordinate volunteer opportunities.

Volunteer Opportunities Include (but are not limited to):

• Tournament Volunteer (September & January)
• Committee Volunteer (as approved by the Board)
• Hawks Player Helpers for U7 Practices
