Who they are

Leaside Hockey Association

The Leaside Hockey Association has been running minor hockey out of Leaside Arena since 1952. It is a not-for-profit, it is the second largest association in the Greater Toronto Hockey League and one of the largest minor hockey associations in Canada, and it fields around forty-five house league teams and forty-eight competitive teams across five leagues for boys and girls.

Their Select tournament draws more than one hundred teams and nineteen hundred players over four days.

What Leaside Hockey Association does for Open Ice

Leaside Hockey Association is a Program Partner, and Summer Camp 2026 ran on their ice at Leaside Memorial Community Gardens. They matter to us for a second reason as well. When a camper finishes the Friday and asks what happens now, Leaside is the association on their doorstep, and that is the most useful answer we have.

Thank you

Thank you, Leaside Hockey Association

Thank you. Money buys ice and gear. It does not buy a rink that says yes, a coach who knows what to do with a child who has never skated, or somewhere for that child to keep playing in September. You gave us those, and those are the parts that turn a good week into a way in.
