New Season for 2024-25

The JAMHL heads to uncharted waters as the Introduction of a 4th line has team managers speculating as to what to do with that in terms of matchups. 

Additionally, we will be starting our games In April rather than watching the ice stay dry until May this year. It should be fun!  

Looking forward to the drop of the puck...

Month 3 recap

The playoff picture for 2023-24 is taking shape quickly. In the Mullen Conference, the top four teams (Sault St. Marie, Champaign, Outlook, Oakville) are in comfortable positions at the moment, with Outlook holding a 12-point lead over Victoriaville for the final wild-card spot. Over in the Esposito Conference, Abbotsford and Hannibal are battling for the Salming Division lead, with only four points separating them. Richmond has a wide margin over Minnesota in the Tretiak. The other race to watch is the wild card scenario in the Esposito Conference, which will likely come down to who gets the two spots among Minnesota, Enumclaw, and the Salming runner-up.
