Thirty-six of the top high-school hockey teams in the province - twenty boys' teams and sixteen girls' squads - will converge on Sudbury next week, site of the 2025 OFSAA A/AA Hockey Championships.

Kicking off Tuesday morning (March 18th) at 8:00 a.m., no less than seven different arenas with eight ice surfaces will be on the go for games though until 4:00 p.m. (the banquet takes place that evening).

A similar schedule ensues on Wednesday with quarter-final matchups taking place at 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Semi-finals and the medal games all shift over to the Gerry McCrory Countryside Sports Complex, with semis at 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. on Thursday morning (March 20th) and the medal games scheduled for 1:00 p.m. (girls) and 3:00 p.m. (boys).

With the St Charles College Cardinals serving as host on both sides of the draw, NOSSA will be represented by the Lo-Ellen Park Knights girls team and the Korah Colts boys.
