With the full support of the OMHA, Tri-County Minor Hockey League and the Niagara District Hockey League are partnering in Inter-lock play at the A category for the 2025/26 season.
Every A team at each age group will play one game against every team in the opposite league. The schedule between the leagues will be fully balanced as all games will count in the Tri-County standings and the NDHL standings.
This partnership will provide a variety of competition for all players and will reduce the number of repeat games of in-league play.
The NDHL A teams will play in NDHL playoffs on their road to the OMHA Championships and Tri-County teams will continue their path to OMHA Championships within Tri-County.
This is a one-year agreement that will be reviewed by OMHA representatives and both leagues in early 2026.
Both leagues are excited about this expanded playing opportunity for all players in Tri-County and the NDHL. Thank you to both League Executives for their efforts in making this change possible.
Good luck to all teams involved and we hope you have a great season!
Glen Davis Tri-County President
Paul Allan OMHA Vice President
Steve Secord NDHL President
