Tie Breaking Formulas

Jan 29 2013
To see how ties are broken for your division for heading into the playoffs, please Click Here. 

Be advised that a balanced division has each team playing opponents the same amount of times.  Example, Team A plays everyone in their division 3 times.  

An unbalanced division would have teams play against opponents an unequal number of times. 
Example, Team A plays all opponents twice except Team C and Team D who they play three times. 

How Many Teams Make the Playoffs ?

Jan 23 2013
541 teams began the 2012-2013 season in hopes of becoming the next Scotiabank GTHL Playoff Champion in each division.  Now, as we move into the playoffs the number of teams remaining drops to 368, only 68% of the original league total.  By the second round only 35% of GTHL teams will be left in the running for the Scotiabank GTHL Playoff Championship.

Week 21 Released

Jan 4 2013
The week of January 28th to February 3rd moves us all a little closer to playoffs with some divisions completing their regular season by Sunday February 3rd; which are Atom 'A' West, Peewee 'AA' West & Midget 'AAA' and Bantam 'AAA'.  All other Major age groups are on the fast track in the coming weeks as they have OHF Championships.  This week adds another 461 regular season games to the schedule.

Week 20 Released

Dec 24 2012

The first round of Minor Midget 'AAA' playoffs will get under way during the week of January 21st to January 27th.  Peewee 'AA' and 'A' as well as Bantam 'AAA' and 'A' will be the next divisions to complete their regular season.  This week adds another 508 games to the schedule. 

Week 19 Released

Dec 14 2012
Another 469 games are added to the GTHL schedule during the week of Jan 14th to 20th.  Westwood is in use over that weekend, as well it seems this is a large weekend for tournaments as 136 teams are using exemptions over that time.  Minor Midget 'AAA' finishes up their schedule on Friday January 18th with playoffs beginning on Monday January 21st.  Next will be Bantam 'AAA' followed closely by Atom 'A', Peewee 'A' and Bantam 'A' to finish their regular season in early February. 

Week 18 Released

Dec 7 2012

The week of January 7th to 13th has been posted online adding another 470 games to the GTHL regular season schedule.  Chesswood being used for a GTHL tournament drops the number of games played from the usual 500 per week mark.  The Minor Midget 'AAA' schedule is closing in on its finishing date of January 18th, with Bantam 'AAA' not too far behind them. 

Week 16 & 17 Released

Dec 3 2012
Week 16 - December 24th to December 30th the league enjoys a break from the regular season; while tournaments run in full force.

Week 17 - The regular season resumes on January 2nd 2013, and with full ice availability that weekend all teams available should expect games.  Even with the shortened week, 397 games are added to the GTHL regular season schedule this week.

Week 15 Released

Nov 20 2012
The week of December 17th to 23rd adds another 520 games to the GTHL regular season schedule getting all teams to at least 23 games played.  Divisions with OHF championships are moving along well at their accelerated pace to complete the season on time with all Major age groups right where they need to be in terms of games scheduled.  We are looking forward to scheduling in the new year and continuing to keep this pace right into playoffs.

Week 14 Released

Nov 12 2012

The midway point of the GTHL season will be reached during December 10th to 16th.  With this week adding another 517 games, a total of 6,356 games have been scheduled so far with approximately 3,500 games remaining to schedule in the GTHL regular season. Following that of course will be the Scotiabank GTHL Playoffs, the Pro Hockey Life King Clancy and Founders Cup Tournaments.

Week 13 Released

Nov 6 2012
With no local tournaments taking place, the week of Dec 3rd to 9th is a great time for teams that have fallen behind to catch up in number of games played.  As well, having no local tournaments allows the GTHL to use all of its game ice and have most club teams in their respective home slot when possible over the week.  In total Week 13 adds another 524 games to the GTHL regular season schedule.

Week 12 Released

Oct 31 2012
As we move into December, the schedule timelines for most age groups are on track with Minor Midget "AAA", Midget "AAA", Under 21 "AAA", Atom "AA", and Peewee "AA" playing at a quicker pace than others.  The League uses scheduled timelines for all age groups to make sure the schedule goals are met for each group; reasons being season ending championships and extra rounds of playoffs needed.  Overall there are 27 age groups and calibres with their own timeline that is unique to each group.

The week of November 26th to Decemeber 2nd adds another 525 games to the GTHL Schedule. 

Week 11 Released

Oct 24 2012

The week of American Thanksgiving sees twice as many teams use exemptions for tournament travel compared to Canadian Thanksgiving.  This is challenging as we have 511 game slots to schedule with fewer teams available on a weekend where teams start their travel in most cases on the Thursday.  Good luck to all the teams playing in tournaments during the week of November 19th - 25th!

Week 10 Released

Oct 17 2012

The week of November 12th - 18th is generally a lighter week for travel based on previous seasons, although the number of 96 teams using exemptions is up from last seasons 68.  Some teams are catching up in games played who may have fallen behind due to previous travel exemptions as it is a priority to keep every teams schedule moving at a good pace. Week 10 adds 496 league games to the GTHL schedule.

Week 9 Released

Oct 10 2012
The week of November 5th to 11th has Chesswood and Westwood booked for another event, which drops the number of games this week to 456.  The 126 teams using exemptions still made this week a bit of a challenge, especially for those divisions that need to stay ahead and finish the regular season on time for OHF's at the end of the year. 

Week 8 Released

Oct 2 2012
The week of October 29th to November 4th has a more Western feel than Eastern as all of our  West rinks are open and used while a few East rinks are used for other events.  In total we add another 481 League games to the schedule, while 146 teams are using exemptions to take time off over this week. 

St. Michael's Arena - Parking

Please note St. Michael's College School Arena has advised the GTHL that there will be no parking enforcement during the GTHL programs.

Week 7 Released

Sep 26 2012
Our week of October 22nd to October 28th turned out to be quite the puzzle adding 522 league games to the schedule while 131 teams used exemptions during this time period.  This week’s game total was close to the largest amount of games played per week since the 2010-2011 season. Our biggest games total from last season was 531 games played in one week in January.

Week 6 Released

Sep 18 2012
The time period of October 15th to 21st adds another 491 regular season league games to the GTHL schedule, the largest amount of games per week this season.  As well, this was also a season record setting week with having 102 teams use exemptions during the week.  Comparing this year to last years week 6 numbers, both games played and exemptions are slightly down from 507 GP and 122 exemptions used.

Week 5 Released

Sep 12 2012
The week of October 8th - 14th adds 425 league games to the schedule, with only 92 teams using exemptions over that time frame.  All East rinks will be opened as of this week except for Thanksgiving Monday, so East teams should see their home ice from now on.

Week 4 Released

Sep 6 2012
The week of Canadian Thanksgiving will see the Markham Majors host their annual 'AAA' Tournament, while the Avalanche run their annual 'A' & 'AA' tournament.  All the while, the regular season charges on adding another 453 games for all to enjoy.

Weeks 1,2 &3 Released

Aug 30 2012
The first three weeks of the GTHL regular season are now available on Games Centre.  The first week is AAA only, with A & AA starting on September 17th.  These 950 + games takes the GTHL season through until the end of September.  Good luck to all teams this season!

Altered Flood Schedule & Arena List

Aug 23 2012
Please note, an Altered Flood Schedule will be used to ensure our programs run smooth and not go over on time.

This takes place when two games from Bantam to Midget are scheduled back to back without the appropriate amount of time needed to complete both games.

The first game will follow the regular flood schedule with floods before the start of the game and another in-between the second and third period.  As soon as that game ends, the second game in the back to back will begin without a flood and play the first period.  In-between the first and second period, the only flood of this game will take place and those teams will play the second and third period on the fresh ice.

Below is an outline of what was described above:

Game 1 (bantam to midget) - Flood
1st period, 2nd period
Flood
3rd period
NO FLOOD
Game 2 (bantam to midget) - 1st period
Flood
2nd period, 3rd period

The following are rinks that will use the above format regularly:

Monday
Herb Carnegie

Tuesday
Ted Reeve
Thornhill West

Wednesday
Lambton
North Toronto

Thursday
Don Montgomery 2

Friday
Etobicoke Centennial East

Saturday

2012-2013 Midget Jr & Midget Formats

Aug 21 2012
The following formats will be used for the Midget Jr. and Midget divisions for the 2012-2013 season. 

Midget A Jr.
An East and West Conference Interlock format will be used. Teams will play within their division with one interlock game against each opponent from the other division. 

Midget A
A single conference format (GTHL wide) will be used.  The rationale for this decision is based on ensuring that we limit schedules where teams would play each other five or more times.   

Midget AA Jr.
An East and West Conference Interlock format will be used. Teams will play within their division with one interlock game against each opponent from the other division. 

Midget AA
A single conference format (GTHL wide) will be used.  The rationale for this decision is based on ensuring that we limit schedules where teams would play each other five or more times.

Tournament / Exemption Form

What is a Tournament/Exemption Form?

A tournament form is needed for every tournament you take part in. It acts as an insurance form; it also acts as an exemption form and most importantly if your team is not in a tournament but needs to be exempted it serves this purpose as well. You can use this form for a non-tournament but please remember it would still count as 1 of 3 exemptions.
 

Exhibition Games

All Season Long....How do I get approval for Exhibition Games?

Any time you play an exhibition game you must have your club GM or President submit your game particulars. Your GM needs to know the date, location, time and opponent. The GTHL's Central Registry can then be contacted to arrange officials at 905-951-7946.

What's an Interlock ?

With the split in the Midget "AA" and "A" age groups to offer a Midget Jr. Division you will now see that two age groups will play an Interlocking type of schedule.  Those two divisions are Midget "A" and Midget "AA" Jr..  Those divisions will still compete in a traditional East and West format but will also play some of their games against the other division.  The Interlock schedule was chosen as a way to ensure that small divisions would be able to see a wider field of opponents.  Currently the Midget "A" East has 6 teams while the Midget "A" West has 7 teams.  In the Midget "AA" Jr. the East has 7 teams and the West has 11 teams.

White Hockey Pucks

Coaches using White Hockey Pucks must collect all of them at the end of their practice.  Pucks left on the ice after a practice are difficult for rink staff to see and can (have) cause damage to a zamboni.  Coaches should do a white puck count at the beginning and end of practices. 

Lambton Arena

Players are asked to exit the ice surface from the end-zone doors and not use the centre ice exit door when entering or exiting the ice surface.

MasterCard Centre Policy on Warming up Off-Ice

Please be aware that playing with pucks, balls, golf balls, balls of tape etc. is not allowed in the dressing rooms or anywhere around the perimeter of our rinks or lobby of the MasterCard Centre.  Failure to comply will result in ejection from the facility. Your co-operation and help with this would be appreciated and would assist in keeping our facility safe and clean.

City of Toronto Policy on Warming Up in the Arena

We would like to ask your help during the 2009/2010 hockey season. Could you please speak to your coaches, parents, officials etc. and let them know that hockey playing with pucks, balls, balls of tape etc. is not allowed in the dressing rooms or any where around the perimeter of our arenas. Any cooperation and help you can give us with this would be appreciated and would assist in keeping our arenas clean.

Incorrect Scores

What do you do if a score is incorrect?

From time to time a score will be reported incorrectly on the GTHL Web-Site. This may be due to an error on the game sheet or perhaps the score being recorded incorrectly. When this occurs simply fax the game sheet - to the attention of Kevin Hucaluk - to 416-636-2035 and list the cover page as Score Correction. Once we receive this information we can make the appropriate correction. This fax should be sent by the Head Coach or Manager of the team to ensure the office doesn't receive numerous enquiries about the same incorrect score.
