Provincial Government Recognizes OBHF

It is with great pleasure to announce that on March 8, 2017, the Ontario Ball Hockey Federation (OBHF) achieved “full recognition” as the Provincial Sport Organization for ball hockey in Ontario.

Through this recognition the OBHF is now recognized by the Government of Ontario and is able to apply for funding through the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture & Sport's new Ontario Amateur Sport Fund (OASF). The program has been designed to support three priorities for amateur sport in the province as outlined in Game ON including:

Participation – so that athletes (para and able bodied) are better able to participate in safe, organized sport.

Development – to ensure that athletes receive the right support, including access to trained coaches and officials to develop their skills and progress through the development pathway overseen by Provincial Sport Organizations (PSOs) and Multi-Sport Organizations (MSOs).

Excellence – so that athletes can do their best in high performance sport by having competitive training and development opportunities and access to the latest high performance programs, services, facilities and technologies led by sport experts.

"The opportunities to grow the sport of ball hockey in Ontario are incredible", says Shelley Callaghan, President, Ontario Ball Hockey Federation, "being recognized as the Provincial Sport Organization for ball hockey in Ontario is a major milestone for the OBHF and we are looking very forward to working closely with the Ministry to further develop this great sport throughout the province."

Bradford Ball Hockey Finds New Home

Last summer the South Simcoe Ball Hockey leagues hosted the Ontario Ball Hockey Federation Minor Provincials. It used rinks in Barrie, Innisfil, and Bradford. At which time we got a taste of something that had never before been done; We played ball hockey out of the Bob Fallis Arena.

157 teams from across the province participated or competed in this tournament. All those that had the opportunity to play at the Bob Fallis arena preferred not to play elsewhere

Having been involved in minor hockey for the last 15 years, this could easily be one of the top 5 facilities I've seen ball hockey played out of.

At that time I felt that it was important that the Bradford Minor Ball Hockey League and its members all got the chance to use this facility rather than the old Bradford CC.

Earlier this year we put in a request to the Town to use this facility as our new ball hockey home. Great news was brought forward to us early this week and our request has been granted.

All regular season games this year will be played out of the Bob Fallis Arena.

With many other sport activities happening in town being played on the weekdays the board of directors have decided to change our playing days to Sunday afternoon and ending in the evenings depending on what division you’re registered with.

The season will commence in late April and end in late June.

Draft times for divisions are as follows:

Tyke: 11:00am or 1:00pm
Novice: 12:00pm or 2:00pm
Atom: 3:00pm or 5:00pm
Peewee: 4:00pm or 6:00pm
Highschool: 7:00pm or 8:00pm
