Oakville Rangers Hockey Club House League Select Program
This page provides information and updates for the ORHC House League Select Program For full Program Details please review the House League Select Manual
Please Note the ORHC House League Select Program has been placed on hold for the 2020/21 Season
It is with disappointment that we must announce the Select Program will not be offered in the 2020/21 season. The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting modified programming for the 2020/21 season has created some unique challenges for this season. The OHF Return to Play Guidelines along with the mandates set out by the provincial government and Health Canada, Hockey Canada, and the OMHA simply do not allow for this type of programming. The health, safety, and well-being of our players is always of paramount importance to us, and as such we complying with the recommendations made by our governing bodies and suspending the Select Program for this season.
OAKVILLE RANGERS TAKE THEIR PLAYER DEVELOPMENT TO A NEW LEVEL
The ORHC is constantly striving to be a best in class hockey club and have gone to great lengths to continuously expand and develop its programs. As the largest Minor Hockey Club in North America, we recognise that the goal of our organization is not to put players in the NHL but rather to ensure a meaningful and enjoyable experience for every player who is enrolled in our programming.
The central focus of the ORHC is for players to enjoy the game of hockey while developing a fundamental skills base in order to achieve their highest levels possible. With this focus in mind, the ORHC is pleased to announce the hiring of the P3 Hockey Academy as our in-house development team. P3 Hockey Academy is made up of former professional players and certified experienced coaches who will be designing and implementing the on-ice component for our Jr. Timbit, Fast Forward, IP, Minor-Novice and Novice programming.
The ORHC has also launched an in-season hockey skills academy which will focus on individual skill development in a fun and supportive environment. The instructors will employ a progressive teaching methodology covering skating, stick-handling, shooting and puck protection while incorporating immediate error detection and correction techniques.

Oakville Rangers Hockey Club 2021/22 Return to play
In the past couple of weeks we have seen some positive direction from the Government of Ontario with respect to the Province re-opening and Return to Play plans for both indoor and outdoor sports. On May 20, 2021, the Government of Ontario introduced a three-step “Roadmap to Reopen” plan. Within this plan, it is projected that indoor sport leagues will be able to resume in Stage 3 with restrictions.
This has understandably lead to many (many) emails and phone calls from our Membership wondering what is going to happen with ORHC programming for the upcoming 2021-2022 season and when we will be able to get back on the ice.
We are happy to share what we have been working on and the details that we currently have.
2021-2022 Player Registration The Hockey Canada Registry ("HCR") is currently undergoing a system overhaul which began in April, 2021. While the HCR is undergoing these changes, minor hockey associations in Ontario (with the exception of girls associations who are governed under the OWHA) are not able to open their registrations for the 2021/22 season.
It is currently being projected that the new Hockey Canada registry will be able to start accepting registrations in mid to late July. We are all anxious to get our hockey season registrations up and running and will send out information on registering for the Rangers 2021/22 season as soon as it is available.
We know that you are as excited as we are to get back on the ice and we can't wait to launch our 2021/22 Registration Campaign. In the mean time, Rangers staff have been working diligently creating a return to play model for the upcoming 2021/22 season. Below are some updates on what we have been working on.
How will the 2021-2022 Season Look? While it is impossible to give a definitive answer on how the 2021/22 season is going to look at this point in time, we are optimistically forming programming structures which are based on traditional hockey play and format. These Return to Play plans are also being strategically structured to be applicable in both traditional hockey models and Covid-19 influenced models.
Below is a summary of what we are planning for House League programming in the 2021/22 season. Please see the 2021/22 Registration Information Page for program specific details.
2021 Rep Fall Tryouts In March 2021, Hockey Canada announced that all Rep tryouts would be moved to the Fall of 2021.
