League Overview:
Returning for its third incredible season after a successful debut in 2020 and expansion in 2021, we are excited to host the 2022 Sensplex Spring AAA League! It will provide local competitive hockey players a great chance to play in competitive games. What an incredibly convenient way to give your team the equivalent of three tournaments over five weekends for a lower cost, and located at premiere Sensplex facilities; all operated by the most professional team of hockey event experts anywhere.
The framework for this league was built carefully after considering COVID-19 best practices, and liaising with competitive hockey parents, and coaches from our region; all with the goal of coming up with a plan that meets the needs of public health and safety, AND that gets kids on the ice.
League Information:
- The anticipated start date for the league is Friday, April 8, however some teams may not begin until the 15th or 22nd of April depending on bye weekends which are scheduled for some divisions.

Each team will receive one bye weekend (no games on that weekend), plus Easter Weekend (Apr. 15-17). Easter weekend would only be used if minor hockey leagues are extended into April causing conflicts with the anticipated start.
- League management will accept bye weekend requests, but we cannot guarantee that we can honour all requests. Please submit requests as early as possible should your team have conflicts with spring tournament play.
