Competitive Playoffs and Provincials Structure - A message from our Director of CMHF

As we get closer to playoffs, we wanted to share some clarifications/changes to this year’s playoff/provincials structure. 

Unlike last year, games listed as playoffs are also provincial qualifying. There will not be a separate round of playoff games after March Break. This is different from last year for most divisions. 

All regular season games and provincial qualifying games are already posted to the league site and games can be rescheduled fluidly throughout the rest of the season. This means that teams may find a provincial qualifying game played before a regular season game, depending on team schedules and ice availability. 

Unless otherwise stipulated (see HNS Provincial qualifying document) all divisions should have the playoff round (and regular season games) completed no later than March 2nd with semi-final and championship games completed no later than March 7 (the Friday before March Break). 

*Please note that U18AA and U15AA have received a separate email about your season/playoff structure earlier this month.

 

More on 2024-25 Provincial Qualifying

HNS released their annual provincial qualifying document detailing each division for the 2024-25 season and how Central Minor teams can advance through the process to Day of Champions or Provincials.
