First Shift - 2025 Season

We're thrilled to announce the return of the OGHA First Shift program! This initiative introduces girls aged 6-10 to hockey who have never previously enrolled in minor hockey within Canada or the NHL/NHLPA First Shift Program.

Registration fee is $299 and covers the 6 week program, player insurance, as well as head-to-toe hockey Bauer equipment! Program will start November, 2025.

There are only 45 spots available. Please spread the word about this amazing program with family and friends!
