The THL is built on core principles developed by experienced hockey professionals, ensuring a player-first approach that prioritizes:

• Value - Provide value for teams and families
• Scheduling & Leveling - High quality schedule while prioritizing player development. When necessary, create an unbalanced and organized schedule that will have teams playing many of their games against competitive opponents. All while being mindful of where teams travel to ensure highly competitive games. A leveling process with possibility of upward or downward movement if it is right for the players.
