2025-26 Buckeye Broadband Hockey League (BBHL)

Get ready for a season filled with camaraderie, skill development, and memorable experiences on and off the ice! The Buckeye Broadband Hockey League (BBHL) is sponsored by Buckeye Broadband. Players receive a Buckeye Broadband game jersey, game sox, and five (5) Toledo Walleye game vouchers. Regular season runs late September thru mid March. The majority of the ice touches will be at Sylvania Tam-O-Shanter. There will be a few ice touches at Ottawa Park and one ice time at the Huntington Center.

RATE SKATE: All players are required to attend a rate skate in September. The rate skate is NOT a tryout for the BBHL. All registered players will be placed on a team.

ICE TIMES: Teams will skate 1-3 times per week (practices and games). The weekly schedule will vary. Each team will receive approximately 35-38 ice times. The schedule will be available online once the season begins.

ROSTERS & SCHEDULES: Rosters will be assembled until after ALL the rate skates are completed. Schedules will be available in late September right before the season starts.

MAPLE LEAFS (ALL-STARS) PROGRAM:  From the BBHL, one all-star team will be formed at each the 10U, 12U, & 14U levels. Maple Leaf teams are for those looking for more ice time and a more competitive environment than their regular BBHL schedule. PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE NO TRYOUTS TO PLAY IN THE BBHL. EVERY PLAYER REGISTERED WILL BE PLACED ON A TEAM. Tryouts for the Maple Leafs All-Star teams are held in August. Players must be playing in the BBHL in order to be considered for the Maple Leafs program. In addition to the normal BBHL practice and game schedule... Maple Leaf teams will participate in approximately 12-15 additional practices and 3-4 additional tournaments. Please refer to tamohockey.com for more information regarding the Maple Leafs program.
