Hockey in Ottawa

[MikeL]

I've been living in Ottawa for a year now, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to play some hockey this winter. I haven't played hockey for the past 5 years, and I miss it a lot. I'm in my mid 20s, and looking to join a team/league that's not too competitive. I live in the central east part of Ottawa, so the closer, the better. I would prefer to play with the same team, rather than pick up hockey, if possible.
It might be too early to ask, but there's some nice equipment sales going on at the moment, and I wouldn't want to buy some equipment and not get to use it. If you know of a team/league I could possibly join, please let me know.

Thanks.

I am taking this winter off from my normal team, they are in the OSMHL, western Conference (so they would be playing 95% of their games at Sensplex). LMK if you want me to check and see if they need someone ... note that it is a low div, for fun team.

Also, regarding OSMHL, you can sign up as a single and be placed on a team. + they have an eastern conference which would probably be more to your liking.

Another popular league is the Sensplex league, but no idea if you could get a spot ... they have a waiting list for teams for sure. Also, it is a west end league, so osmhl is probably one of your best bets. You;d be looking at 350-450$ depending on # of players & jersey/socks costs.

Thanks for the great information. I checked their website, and it seems as if the player registrations are full . I think I could only register as a spare player at this point. As for possibly replacing you in the Western division, I don't think that would work out that great for me, east would be better, but thanks anyways!

If anyone else has information, please let me know!

Thanks,
Mike

I used to love playing pickup at Jim Durell arena on Walkley, Tues and Fridays 7:30am to 8:50am, only $5 for almost two hours of ice time. The guys there are older than Gordie Howe, but they still kick my butt.

That sounds like a good deal, however, I work Mon-Fri 7:30-4:30. Thanks for the information!
