2025/26 LJM Tryout Information (updated April 3, 2025)

Every year the Jr Mustangs, the GLHA and its member partners strive to deliver competitive pricing for the upcoming season. As volunteer-run organizations, we work hard to ensure that our pricing stays as low and competitive as possible. We value your participation and want to ensure that we continue to offer programming that aligns with our cost structure and encourages participation for all ages of our hockey programming.
OHF Player movement update: London Boundaries
The Junior Mustangs remain exclusive to London-area players, and this policy will not change. The GLHA is recognizing Lambeth as part of our internal boundaries.
Players who were previously registered with LJM or anywhere in GLHA on a Non-Resident Player (NRP) or 'Right of Choice' status will be grandfathered in and allowed to participate this season without new restrictions.
Mustangs / GLHA Program Structure for A and BB:
A Program:
- For U10-U13 and U18 age groups, we will continue offering a city-wide program.
- For U14-U16, teams will be divided into Purple and Grey tiers based on their local boundary (below).
- Lambeth players will have a one time choice of which team they tryout for - Purple or Grey (U14-16)

The new Hockey Canada Registration (HCR) system was updated throughout 2022 and now collects and stores player information from past seasons in your account. All details are kept confidential. Once teams are formed players will then need to fully register.

Body Checking Clinic:
Any players trying out in u14 and older ages is required to have completed a Body Checking clinic. It is no charge and shows up at the bottom of both links for U12-U16 White and Purple.
