Junior A Hockey coming to Claresholm

The National Junior A Hockey League (NJHL) proudly announces that it has come to terms on a  facility agreement with the town of Claresholm. The addition of Claresholm into its South Division, with league play to commence in the 2024-25 hockey season, represents a great opportunity to expand into a vibrant community with longstanding support for hockey.  The expansion team will be playing out of the Claresholm arena , which features an incredible ice surface, concession, dedicated home team stalled dressing room, and other amenities. NJHL’s official statement reads, ” We are so excited about locating a new team in Claresholm. The great location and facility will no doubt aid in the recruiting process and offer an excellent environment for our elite, full-time athletes to develop as they follow their goal to play at the collegiate and professional levels.

“Claresholm Town Council is excited to announce that the Town and the National Junior Hockey League are bringing Junior A hockey to Claresholm this fall. We are proud they have chosen to expand in Claresholm, and we hope everyone comes out to support the team!” Mayor Brad Schlossberger
