Hockey fans across Nova Scotia are in for an action-packed weekend as teams from across the province hit the ice to compete for provincial and regional gold. From championship showdowns to the celebration of young hockey talent, there's no shortage of excitement for players, coaches, and fans alike.

The 2025 Day of Champions, hosted by the Hockey Nova Scotia Minor Council, will take centre stage at the Rath Eastlink Community Centre in Truro on April 5-6. This event celebrates the dedication and commitment of minor hockey teams across the province, recognizing their hard-fought seasons with championship matches that will determine the best in each division.

Meanwhile, the Hockey Nova Scotia Female Council is set to host two NSFHL Provincial Championship Weekends. The A Division battles will unfold at the Membertou Sport and Wellness Centre from April 4-6, while the AA Division championship will be contested at East Hants Sportsplex in Lantz and Cole Harbour Place from April 4-6. These tournaments will showcase Nova Scotia's top female teams as they compete for provincial crowns.

Several other provincial championship tournaments will also take place throughout the weekend. The Minor U13 AAA Provincials, hosted by the TASA Minor Hockey Association, will be held at St. Margaret’s Centre in Upper Tantallon from April 3-6. Yarmouth will play host to the Minor U15 AA Provincials at the Mariners Centre over the same dates, with the Minor U18 AA Provincials taking place at Cole Harbour Place under the banner of the Cole Harbour Bel Ayr Minor Hockey Association.

The Macs, champions of the Nova Scotia U18 Major Hockey League for a second-straight season, will look to make their mark against the top teams from across Atlantic Canada.
