Welcome to the Canterbury Hockey Association (CHA) Web site

Last updated February 1, 2012

The Canterbury Hockey Association (CHA) has been involved in the community of Ottawa southeast for over 30 years. We are a voluntary non-profit association created to provide the children of our community with the opportunity to learn the principles of fair play, to improve hockey skills, to promote sportsmanship and community spirit in every player with due respect to safety.

It seeks to promote and increase interest in amateur hockey by ensuring that all organized minor hockey is conducted under the guidance of the governing bodies in accordance with the prescribed standards. The CHA is therefore an integral part of the District B (Bytown District), of the Ottawa & District Minor Hockey Association (ODMHA) – and the Ottawa District Hockey Association (ODHA) and by virtue of this affiliation is a member of the Hockey Canada, the governing body of amateur hockey in Canada.

The CHA offers house league hockey for over 500 players living within the Canterbury boundaries of South Ottawa within District B.

Players within Canterbury boundaries can play competitive hockey with the 3 year trial formed (seasons starting 2007, 2008 & 2009) competitive Ottawa Sting Minor Hockey Association. This new association will have:

• Competitive ‘AA’ hockey - formerly offered by Ottawa Sting AA
• Competitive ‘A’ plus Minor Atom ‘B’ hockey - formerly offered by the Capital Crusaders Minor Hockey Assoc.
• Competitive ‘B’ hockey - formerly offered by the East Ottawa Vanier Voyageurs Minor Hockey Association for Canterbury, Ottawa Centre, Sandy Hill, South End and St. Laurent. Ottawa West will be running Competitive ‘B’ hockey program for players within their boundaries only.

Competitive team from this area in trial 3 year period for AAA, starting 2007-08 season, is the Ottawa Jr 67 team.
