Building Skills, Teamwork
and Champions on and off the Ice!
Looking for a hockey program that prioritizes skill development, teamwork and a love for the game?
Quinte West Minor Hockey offers a top-tier experience for young athletes in a positive and supportive environment.
Open Borders Are Here
In December 2024, the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) announced that effective for the 2025/26 season there will be enhanced player movement with open borders across Ontario. This means that any player U8 and above is free to play wherever they want in the province, at all levels. As one of the biggest changes in minor hockey, QWMHA is navigating the new era of open borders and is committed to providing a high quality program for all players choosing to join us. We are aiming to build on our past successes and continue to elevate our small-town hockey excellence into the future.
