The TMHA consists of one part time Administrator, a Scheduler, 13 Board members and approximately 165 Hockey Canada qualified team officials whose primary duty is the safety, supervision, administration and training fo

The TMHA is a sub-component of the Northern Ontario Hockey Association (NOHA), Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) and ultimately Hockey Canada (HC) and represents both tier one competitive hockey as well as tier 2 recreational hockey players. TMHA is responsible for male and female players between the ages of 4and 17 years of age.

Generations of Timmins families have grown up playing hockey. These families all share fond memories of their time on the ice and all the benefits that came out of it. Timmins residents love hockey, it is not mystery that it is our official national winter sport. TMHA continues to be invested in community hockey, as there are numerous benefits to kids such as learning skills that enhance agility, strength and dexterity. It is a healthy and positive setting to meet others. Players learn sportsmanship, teamwork and how to take risks. They also get to have fun and continue the tradition of Timmins Hockey. The TMHA is part of a larger collective and has a significant membership which includes players, coaches, administrators, Board members, local sponsors, volunteers, parents and officials. Participants in the TMHA work together to create a positive and enriching environment where individual and group learning flourishes and certain shared values are embraced.
