Our Learn To Play hockey programs are for children ages 4 to 7 years old and include pure beginners to those in their second or third year starting to progress in their skating and hockey skills. We also offer a Learn To Play program for children older than 7 years old (see Extended Learn To Play).

The House League program is primarily intended to provide players aged from U7 to U18 with the opportunity to play purely recreational hockey. Our goal is to provide a positive and enjoyable environment that encourages respect, discipline and good sportsmanship among coaches, players, parents and game officials while participating in the game of hockey. For the players, the primary goals are to have fun, to learn the principles of the game, and to learn the importance of team play, good sportsmanship and companionship.

The Select Division provides an opportunity for House League players to participate in competitive hockey. Teams are made up of House League players and represent North York Knights in competitive play against the Select teams drawn from other house league hockey associations in the North York Hockey League (NYHL), as well as in tournaments throughout the season.

The Competitive Development Stream (CDS) program focuses on long term player development in accordance with Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) Player Development Model and the GTHL Initiation Program.   The CDS program is an optional extension of House League, available to registered HL players from 6-8 years old on a tryout basis. CDS is designed for players who are passionate about hockey and eager to take their skills to the next level.

The Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL) is one of the premier hockey organizations in the world. The North York Knights teams compete in the GTHL at the A and AA levels. The Knights provide youth and young adults with competitive hockey in an environment that fosters excellence, fun and friendship.
