Youth Hockey
Youth hockey is a long-standing tradition in the Royal Oak community that has spanned 50+ years since ROHA (Royal Oak Hockey Association) was originally established in 1956. Playing out of John Lindell-Royal Oak Ice Arena, the Royal Oak Hockey Club offers a House Hockey Program consisting of the following divisions: Mini Mite (age 4 thru 6), Mite (age 7 & 8), Squirt (age 9 & 10), PeeWee (age 11 & 12), Bantam (age 13 & 14), and Midget (15 thru 18). Travel teams (Royal Oak Eagles) are picked by the coaching staff of each respective team.
