top hockey academy teams

TEAM INFORMATION FOR THE 2025-2026 SEASON WILL BE POSTED IN FEBRUARY 2025.

In early 2024 TOP Hockey made history by becoming the first independent minor hockey club to be granted membership in the GTHL and Hockey Canada, highlighting a broader shift in minor hockey that encourages families, players, and coaches to pick the program that best aligns with their philosophy and core values. For the 2024-2025 season, TOP Hockey currently offers competitive teams from U8 to U14 playing at the Select, ‘A’, or ‘AA’ levels.

One of the biggest differentiators with TOP Hockey teams is our unique tournament-based schedule. Instead of constant changes and unnecessary travel that comes with a traditional league schedule, our model provides a predictable set schedule with three practices per week and tournaments on designated weekends throughout the season. Teams also compete in exhibition games scheduled against local opponents throughout the season, resulting in teams playing between 25-35 games per season, depending on the age group.

Program Highlights

• Local practices in Midtown Toronto, prioritizing more time on the ice and less time in the car.

• High-quality professional coaching staff for each team. 

• Efficient tournament-based schedule that does not dominate family life.

• Ski-friendly hockey teams (no Saturday practices/games during Jan, Feb, and early March). 1-2 weekends in the winter will be reserved for tournaments.

• Blackout periods designed for family travel (Christmas, Family Day, March Break)
