DIVISIONS
- All divisions are co-ed.
- For ages 6 to 10 (i.e. Atom and Mite divisions) all teams are recreational only.
- For players aged 11 to 17 (i.e. Squirt, Peewee and Bantam) we offer both competitive and recreational divisions, allowing kids to choose the level of play that best suits their skills and playing experience.
- At the time of registration players may choose to play in either recreational or competitive divisions subject to the following provisions:
- All boys A1 and A2 rep ice hockey players and goalies must play in their respective competitive division.
- A3-A4 rep and house ice hockey players and goalies may play in either the competitive or the recreational division.
- Female players may play in either recreational or competitive divisions regardless of their ice hockey level.
- For players aged 18 and over (born in 2001 or earlier), we have a separate Adult/Midget league, which has its own website at www.nsihladult.com

WAITLIST
Once a division is full you can still register for the same division but you will be waitlisted pending a spot that opens in that division. The registrations on the waitlist will be taken in order as spots become available. Some divisions fill quickly so get your registration in early to ensure a spot.
