📸 AMHL PHOTO DAY — SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1

Swipe to see the full Photo Day schedule! ➡️

Photo Day will take place at Morgan Firestone Arena and Rotary Centre. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we’ve had to start later in the day and change locations, so many teams’ photo times will not align with their scheduled ice times.

Thank you for your patience and understanding!

A few reminders:
🏒 Players should arrive dressed and ready for photos.
🎒 Please minimize extra bags left in the lobby.
🤝 Please respect the allotted photo times and spaces so the day runs smoothly.

📅 Photo retake day: Thursday, November 12, from 6:30–8:00 PM.

We appreciate your cooperation and support in making Photo Day a success for our AMHL community!

🚨 HOCKEY STARTS TOMORROW 🚨

The season is finally here! Before you hit the ice, a quick heads-up for families using Morgan B this season:

🚧 Morgan B Lobby Construction
The lobby area at Morgan B will be closed for construction until approximately November 1. The City is making facility improvements, including new meeting rooms and common areas, as Morgan Firestone Arena prepares to serve as the practice facility for Hamilton’s new PWHL team.

➡️ Entering Morgan B:
Please use the main lobby entrance, then proceed through the sliding doors separating Morgan A and Morgan B. Signs will be posted in the lobby to help direct traffic.

We appreciate everyone’s patience as these changes take place at the facility.

📅 Be sure to check the September schedules before heading to the rink: https://ancasterminorhockey.com/Pages/14550/September_Details/
