GTHL

Our hockey club provides this community’s more advanced players with the opportunity to represent the Forest Hill community in the largest minor hockey league in the world, the Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL). The GTHL is a major breeding ground for NHL talent. It is also known as an experience to develop the athletes and leaders of tomorrow in all areas of society. GTHL hockey at FHHA is both a fun and competitive experience where players will develop their skills to the highest level through practices and games against teams from all over the greater Toronto area.

The FHHA fields both “A” and “AA” teams in each age division from U10—U18. The GTHL hockey program is contact hockey for the “AA” U14 division and higher.
