Our Association will be as always committed to providing hockey for children in a fun and safe environment.

The Northside & District Minor Hockey Association is a non profit hockey association, and is responsible for all Minor Hockey activities within the boundaries established by the Hockey Nova Scotia Minor Council. The NSDMHA is responsible and receives its mandate from the HNS Minor Council which in turn receives its authority from Hockey Canada through Hockey Nova Scotia.

Boundaries include that part of the CBRM north from Leitches Creek including North Sydney, Sydney Mines, Florence, Bras D’or, Big Bras D’or and all of Boularderie Island.

All players will be placed on non-competitive teams by Association and team management at playing levels commensurate with each player’s age, playing skill, and experience. Players will be placed on competitive teams by team management as the result of open tryouts. Age “DIVISIONS” within minor hockey are set by the CHA as follows (Age is set at the players age as of midnight Dec 31 st.)
