General
Information
What is the Tri-Centre Minor Hockey Organization?
● The Tri-Centre Minor Hockey Organization is a
collaborative effort between Shallow Lake Minor Hockey, Bruce Peninsula Minor
Hockey, and Owen Sound Minor Hockey. This initiative is part of the WOAA’s
pilot program aimed at forming “Partner Zones” to develop A-level
Representative Teams for more competitive play in our local region.
What is the goal of this pilot project?
● The pilot program aims to enhance hockey
development by creating stronger, more competitive teams through the
collaboration of multiple associations. This approach ensures every player has
a pathway to participate and grow, whether at the A, B, or Local League level.

associations into six zones. The Tri-Centre Minor Hockey Organization forms Zone 1 - Tri-Centre Jr. Attack, which
