The Women on the LHA Bench
The LHA is extremely proud of the growing number of women volunteering to be part of the bench staff for our competitive teams. Whether a head coach, assistant coach or trainer, these women are playing a vital part in their child's, and the whole team's, hockey experience.
Click HERE or on the button below to meet some of the women on the LHA bench and learn more about what inspired them to join the bench staff and what they enjoy most about the experience.
If you are interested in being more involved in your child's hockey experience, please speak to your Head Coach or program coordinator about upcoming opportunities.

NHL/NHLPA First Shift Returns to Leaside
The LHA is delighted to announce the First Shift Program will return to Leaside Arena in February 2025. First Shift is a program designed by the NHL and the NHL Players Association to ensure a positive experience for new-to-hockey families. Every effort is made to create a lasting love for hockey by:
- taking away any intimidation as it relates to equipment requirements, and/or rules of the game,
- removing potential safety concerns, and most importantly,
- providing an experience that is memorable and FUN.
Accessible, Affordable, Safe and FUN are the goals of the First Start Program. We can't wait to see the new players on the ice in February.
Thank you First Shift Volunteers
We are extremely grateful for the incredible response to our request for LHA U15 - U18 Select & GTHL players to volunteer as First Shift Assistant Instructors. All Assistant Instructor roles are now FULL. If you have applied to be an Assistant Instructor, the LHA will be in touch by email to let you know if your application has been accepted and, if so, your scheduled sessions.
LHA Goalie Training
Goalie training is BACK for the 2024-25 season! Available FREE to anyone in the LHA and run by the professionals at Direct Motion Goaltending, these sessions are perfect for goalies of all skill levels from a HL player playing net for the first time to an experienced GTHL goaltender looking to improve.
Goalies are asked to register in advance and attend in full goalie gear which can be accessed from the LHA if necessary. All sessions take place at Leaside Arena, 1073 Millwood Rd, Toronto, ON, at the following times:
- Thursdays 4:00 - 5:00 pm - Starts September 26 - All LHA goalies
- Saturdays 1:30 - 2:30 pm - Starts October 19th - GTHL goalies ONLY
- Sundays 4:30 - 5:30 pm - Starts October 20th - All LHA goalies
During the sessions, goalies will be grouped by age and skill level and rotate through skill stations with a ratio of 3 goalies per coach.
