House League Select Program 2025-2026
Select hockey is a great program for players who are ready for more ice time and competition. BLOMHA Select hockey is an extension of our House League program. House League registration will open April 10th 2025 for the 2025-2026 season. This means that all Select players must register and participate with a House League team. Players must tryout and be drafted onto a Select team and must be registered for the house league season before these tryouts. Please review tryout details below.
- Select teams may play up to 30 games in a season which includes 2-3 tournaments and exhibition games against other organizations outside of Burlington.
- Teams are able to fundraise to offset tournament costs, additional team costs, etc.
- Officials and timekeepers are supplied by BLOMHA for all home games.
- Just like House League there is no body checking in SELECT hockey and teams are bound by a fair and equal ice time policy.
