NCJHL Update


       Following close to one year of hard work, the NATIONAL CAPITAL JUNIOR HOCKEY LEAGUE, is a reality. The league falls under the umbrella of the ODHA and Hockey Canada. NCJHL is made up of eight Junior Teams based in Ontario and Quebec. Split in two divisions, they will play all teams throughout the season but will be ranked divisionally. The teams are as follows: 


                              West Division
                              Rockland “Nationals”
                              “Les Prédateurs” de La Pêche
                              “Vikings” de Papineauville
                              “L’Express” de Gatineau 


                              East Division
                              Embrun “Panthers”
                              Cumberland “Bandits”
                              “Les Aigles” de St-Isidore
                              “Cougars” de Vankleek Hill 


       Interested players should visit the league website for information on team conditioning camps and other pre-season activities, click on links, select a team to view their co-ordinates and other information. Note that some teams may require pre-registration. 


       League Executives are very optimistic with the overall interest and dedication from the teams who have all contributed in reaching this goal: “Everyone involved in the eight teams management groups and the league executives put in a lot of time and participated in several long meetings to be where we are today. We had to keep in mind the league’s mission, to allow graduating minor hockey players to continue their hockey aspirations while encouraging all age bracket players the opportunity to also continue developing their hockey and inter-personal skills”. This is the shared feeling of everyone involved in the league. 


       The NCJHL season opener will be a “Showcase” format held in Rockland on Saturday, September 25, 2010, where all teams can be seen as four games will be played that day. More details to follow soon...
