BOHC Summer

Registration for our Summer Hockey season is now open!

If you are not familiar with BOHC Summer Hockey, we have 12 teams (each made up of players from all 8 divisions) playing 22 games from the first week of May through the first week of September, with almost all games on Wednesday nights.  There are no standings and no playoffs, but there is a tonne of fun to be had meeting players from all other divisions.

To be eligible to play 2025 Summer Hockey you must be a member in good standing and registered for the upcoming 2025-26 Winter season (fulltime or pool) 
Summer Registration closes Tuesday April 1st 5pm and Summer Hockey starts the first week of May.   Winter registration does not open until Summer registration closes and is completely separate from the Summer process.
 

FULLTIME Summer Registration:

Those who were fulltime summer players last year and are members in good standing may register for fulltime online.  All other members in good standing can register for the pool online and in that process check that you would like fulltime if available.

  1. Fee is $350.00 payable in full by credit card (online only).
  2. Fulltime registration will close Tuesday April 1st 5:00 PM,
  3. Fulltime spots will be filled first by those who were fulltime last Summer season, then by overall club seniority up to April 1.
  4. Online registration - LOG-IN FIRST using your username (or create an account), then register for summer, but please note that ONLY players who finished the prior Summer’s season as fulltime will be fully registered as received, all others will be on hold until the deadline.
  5. After April 1st the remaining fulltime spots will be filled by those who registered for the pool AND checked ‘would like fulltime if available’ by a selection process to ensure team parity.

POOL Summer Registration:

  1. You can register at any time (there is no deadline) online, and there is no fee to register for the pool.
  2. All Summer Pool players pay $20 per game (skaters & goalies).
  3. It is very important that we know the quickest and best method to contact pool players.  Email is preferred, but we do our best to accommodate players who prefer text, cell phone, home phone or office phone as well.

Every applicant must accept the waiver online.
If you are interested in being a Summer captain, please email me at Summer@BOHC.ca.
