The GHL

What is the GHL?... 

Short answer - The GHL is a co-ed non-contact hockey league with three levels of play.

-Minors is aimed at adults who have had little or no childhood hockey experience

You claim that you can't skate? Good. You are the reason this league was formed. We provide an exciting environment where you can learn how to skate (somewhat) and the game of hockey without being intimidated.

-Majors is an intermediate division for players who are comfortable with the game but never played at a higher level. 

-Select is intended for players who have hockey experience and have played at higher levels. 

The GHL Niagara has 24 teams, over 400 players, GMs, captains, coaches, referees, scorekeepers, and one amazing atmosphere. 

How it works... 
First you take the plunge and join. You register online and then pay your registration fees. Next you are off to try-ins where you will be introduced to the rules of hockey. At try-ins, team GMs will scout the lack of talent and consider who they want to draft to their team.                   
           
The draft...                                        
This is conducted just like a professional draft - actually better! You and your guests will enjoy a BBQ lunch and a cold beverage as you wait anxiously to be drafted to a team.  Be sure to arrive early and schmooze with the GMs of your favourite team. This could help you get drafted early.

The regular season... 
During the regular season, coaches, referees, GMs, and more experienced players all assist the new players in 
improving their game; but mostly everyone on the bench is making plans for how many wings they will order after the game.

Trades do take place, but do not fear, we only trade to balance teams. Some players have even requested trades as part of the professional experience. After all, this is as close to professional hockey that you will ever get! And sure enough, after about 12 weeks it really starts to look like hockey.

The playoffs... 
Your heart will race, you will sweat like crazy, you will not be able to wipe the smile off your face, and you won't have even played a game yet. The best in playoff atmosphere EVER!! Ask any experienced  dummie about our playoffs!

After the season...                        
The Awards Gala - It's the Academy Awards of hockey. GHL players walk the red carpet dressed to the nines. You will not recognize most of them! This event is filled with anticipation and surprises. You definitely want to get tickets to this one early!
