Bauer & CCM Partnership with Brampton Minor league

Through membership with the league, member of the Ontario Ball Hockey Association (OBHA), we have the opportunity to purchase sticks, equipment, gloves and helmets at wholesale pricing for registered members starting in week three of our program. 

 

The OBHA enjoys a long association with the sport of ball hockey. Formed in 1974 by a relatively small group of ball hockey enthusiasts the Ontario Ball Hockey Association (OBHA) has brought Canada’s beloved game of street hockey indoors, to now offer the most comprehensive program in Canada. The OBHA is a registered non-profit organization officially recognized as the governing body of the sport in Ontario by the National Ball Hockey Association of Canada and the World Ball Hockey Federation.
