Hockey Canada is the governing body of all sanctioned ice hockey in Canada. It is divided up into regional organizations to delegate authority.

Telus Penguins No Hill Too High

Hockey Canada was founded in 1968 by the federal Government to oversee all operations of ice hockey in Canada, including amateur, university and professional. The new organization became responsible for international ice hockey team selection, including Olympics and World Championships, but did not govern ice hockey play within Canada. This changed in July 1994 when Hockey Canada merged with the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, which had formed in 1914 to oversee Allan Cup play.

Unprecedented Action

On March 12, 2020 the organization would take an unprecedented action by cancelling all activity under its jurisdiction for the remainder of the 2019-20 playing season in reaction to the growing COVID-19 pandemic. This cancelled events such as the 2020 University Cup, 2020 Allan Cup, 2020 Memorial Cup, 2020 Centennial Cup, 2020 Esso Cup, 2020 Telus Cup as well as countless leagues at age groups ranging from senior down to the Mite level.
