Upper Ottawa Valley Minor Hockey League

Participants in HEO hockey programs pay fees to support aspects of Hockey Canada sanctioned programs for Junior, Minor, Para and Special hockey programs. Participants include players, officials, and bench staff (coaches, trainers, manager). Participants pay several types of fees to several organizations to whom they belong as well as to Hockey Eastern Ontario and Hockey Canada. 

HEO Memo: On March 6th, 2023, the HEO Board of Directors passed 6.58 – HEO League Player Entry Draft Policy. This policy was enacted as the requirement for the U15 draft no longer exists with the addition of the U16 AAA division. Fifteen (15) year old players will now tryout and play for U16 teams within their geographical boundaries.

The Lisa Sharpe Memorial 4 on 4 Tournament hosted by Eganville District Minor Hockey Association raised $5850 that was donated to The Phoenix Centre for Children and Families in support of youth mental health initiatives. Special Treasurers Photography has images available at no cost!

Hockey Eastern Ontario presents each week an Officiating Program series highlighting Hockey Canada rules to provide education to players, coaches, officials, volunteers, and spectators. These videos are for more than officials. Coaches and spectators can benefit from understanding the rules which will allow them to accept why a call was (or was not) made. Access the series from the Officials menu above. 

The Green Armband Initiative for youth officials will continue for the 2022-2023 season.
