Welcome to the 24th year of London911Hockey (as of Oct ‘25). I started this league with the hopes of improving and enhancing the camaraderie of all related emergency services in the area, while enjoying Canada's great pass-time. We are a strong 6 team league, and have a wide array of emergency service and frontline workers, including Firefighters, Police Officers, Medics, Doctors, and Nurses. The teams are randomly picked each year based on skill levels, but also mixing all of the services.

ROUND ROBIN FORMAT

After the 20 regular season, all teams make the playoffs. The top 3 teams play the bottom 3 teams in a round robin format. After that, the 3rd and 4th team play for the B Final, and the 1st and 2nd play for the A final. 5th and 6th are eliminated. Ties are allowed. After the round robin, ties will be determined by:

1. head-to-head in round robin (if played, unless more than 2 teams)

2. plus/minus from round robin

4. regular season final standings

SUBSTITUTIONS

If you are short players (6 skaters or less), you may use enough spares to make a maximum of 8 skaters (although spares cannot out-number regulars), getting permission from the opposing team, to play with substitutes, otherwise a 1-0 score will be recorded as a forfeit. You must have 5 skaters and a goalie to proceed with a game. Spares must wear their own jersey (or a similar one), put on inside out, as no points are counted for sparing.

SWEATERS / SOX

Individuals are responsible for their assigned sweaters/sox, and must return at the conclusion of season. Failure to return will result in a $50 charge on the following years registration or a $100 charge if not returning
