The LHA's incredibly popular auction is BACK with some exciting changes for 2024. This year the auction will be held during the CDS Festival December 6-8, 2024 and will be conducted entirely ONLINE. Perfect for holiday shopping!

Last season, this important fundraiser raised over $49,000 for participating LHA teams who used the funds to offset the cost of tournaments and the season overall. Any CDS and Select teams wishing to participate in the auction are asked to send a list of team donation items to Melissa at auction@leasidehockey.com before November 29, 2024.

The Leaside Hockey Auction opens December 5 and runs to December 8, 2024. Be sure to follow us on social media (@leasidehockey) for more updates. Bid early and bid often for those amazing items.

City of Toronto Ice Survey

The City of Toronto is currently gathering input from City residents regarding the current use and need for indoor and outdoor recreational ice facilities. The ICE SURVEY results are expected to shape the development of the City's Ice Facilities Strategy, a long term plan that will guide future investment in both indoor and outdoor ice facilities.

The ICE SURVEY takes between 10 and 20 minutes and is available until January 5th, 2025. We encourage all LHA members to please complete the survey and share your views on the ongoing need for more, not less, recreational ice in the City of Toronto.

The following list of rinks currently used by the LHA may help when completing the survey:

City of Toronto Rinks:

  • Commander
