BOHC Player Guide & Rule Book (v-09/24)

Welcome to The BOHC!

The Burlington Oldtimers Hockey Club (BOHC) is a volunteer-run, non-profit community hockey club.  Founded in 1975, we are one of Canada’s largest and longest-running men’s recreational hockey leagues.

Our motto is Balance, Fair Play, and Community.  While playing hockey and having fun is our number one reason for being, we are also committed to making a positive and lasting contribution to the Burlington community. Since our inception, the players and volunteers of the BOHC have raised and distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to local organizations such as the

Burlington Food Bank, the Carpenter Hospice, and others.

To ensure you have a fun and safe experience playing BOHC hockey, this guide provides important information on  how our league is set up, the rules that we follow, and the sportsmanship and positive spirit that we advocate.  Please review and refer to it to ensure you get the most enjoyment possible from our league.
