We have 10 teams for the 2025/2026 season, split into two divisions (Aurora and Borealis).
Aurora Division
Borealis Division
Skills & Development:
For the 2025/2026 season, the WWHA is planning to continue offering skills development to help players advance their game. This year, the focus will be on level 1 and 2 players, but there will also be some offerings for those players in the 5-6-7 levels who’d like to be drafted into the Borealis Division.
The details still need to be worked out, but just so you know what we’re thinking, here are our ideas in broad strokes.
Beginner player development:
If registration numbers are high like last year, we anticipate that we’ll cap the draft for the Aurora Division at players ranked 3 and above (or possibly 2 and above). Those who are excluded will be given first opportunity to join player development, which will offer weekly skills, plus games every ~2 weeks. Skills will start in October, and games will get underway in November (to ensure players have time to learn the basics, or polish up their skills, as the case may be) before going into a game. The sessions will be similar to those offered last year, except the plan is to run them for the entire season: they will build on basic skating and puck handling, and the intent will be to help players qualify for the Aurora division.
Who can join beginner skills?
Advanced player development:
If you’re in the upper end of the Aurora skill level (5 to 7) and would like to tune up your game so you can get drafted into Borealis, we are looking at dedicating some ice time over Christmas to help you get there. Which dates/how many ice times are still not sorted out: we anticipate there will be interest in having some fun games over Christmas, but if there’s interest in intermediate skills we will set something up to help get you there.
New This Year
If you registered aren't on a team, you can play as a sub and be on the wait list.

Who can join beginner skills?
- Players who are excluded from the draft based on registration numbers (likely 1’s and possibly 2s)
- Players who are drafted into Aurora but want to improve their skills (e.g. maybe you’re a 3 but would like to advance to a 4 or a 5)
- Nope. Players who sign up for skills can also register as subs and play games in the Aurora division when they call subs. This will help you advance your skills and expose you to the Aurora players - which will help get you drafted the following year.

If you’re in the upper end of the Aurora skill level (5 to 7) and would like to tune up your game so you can get drafted into Borealis, we are looking at dedicating some ice time over Christmas to help you get there.

New This Year
- Players may register as substitutes.
- Two players may now share a single roster spot.
If you registered aren't on a team, you can play as a sub and be on the wait list.

Jersey Deposits
We are NOT having a jersey deposit this season.
This year, you will get your jersey at the first game from your drafter. At the end of the year, you are expected to return your jersey to said drafter. Should you not, you will have to pay a $100 fine and if we do not get the jersey back you will be unable to play in the league the following year.
