What People Are Saying About HTBHL

Graham Spice – Cyclones (Men’s – Hintonburg)
"I have been playing ball hockey in Ottawa for the past 20 years. The best and most enjoyable gym league I’ve played in is Jonathan von Teichman and Dan Bergeron’s HTBHL at the Hintonburg Community Centre on Sundays. The league is professionally run and extremely well organized. Every week our team enjoys a good, clean, competitive game. It's a lot of fun and a great workout. Highly recommended!"

Grace Mellano – Coed St-Francois d’Assise / Coed Belltown Dome
"Ball hockey is about fun, and I love playing in the Wednesday night mixed league. The players and refs made me feel welcome. Running a league is not easy, and the management must be praised for their organizing skills. The website is very well done, the refs are fair, and hot-heads are eventually weeded out. Keep up the good work."

Dominik Giroux – Goalie (All HTBHL Divisions)
"What a wonderful league it is so far – men’s and mixed together. Clean play, genuine sportsmanship, friendly atmosphere, fun games to watch and play. Thanks for making all this happen!"

Akhilesh Patel – Orthodox Horse Captain (Men’s – Beatrice Desloges)
"My team joined HTBHL for the first time this year. We were really impressed with how the league was run — scheduling, time/scorekeeping, and refereeing were great! We’re looking forward to playing again."

Jeff Murphy – Coed St-Francois d’Assise / Coed Belltown Dome / Men’s Pinecrest
"I have enjoyed my experience with HTBHL tremendously! The Wednesday games are a highlight of my week. The mixed teams are well balanced, the organization is excellent, and I’ve yet to play a game without a goalie or referee. My only regret is not discovering the league sooner!"

Nick Pizzo – Pepe’s Pink Tacos (Men’s – Hintonburg)
