New to hockey?
The NHL/NHLPA First Shift program is coming to communities across the province this fall! With coed and girls-only programs available, there's a welcoming, pressure-free spot for your child to hit the ice. Registration is open for the 2026-27 season. Find a location near you and get started!
Hockey Canada and its Members want to end the culture of silence that exists in parts of hockey. To help ensure that we are a safe space for raising concerns, a new, fully independent, and confidential reporting mechanism has been established.
If you’re interested in registering to play hockey, we can help you find your local association.
After 16 months of listening and learning, the Hockey Nova Scotia Diversity & Inclusion Task Force has released their report and recommendations on making the game more welcoming and diverse.
