Dear Parents and Players,
As we achieved the milestone of 50 years as a thriving hockey organization, the Swansea Hockey Association has reached the difficult decision to shut down operations. We are confronted by our shared reality of increasingly unpredictable weather conditions and continually shortening skating seasons. A standalone, outdoor-only hockey league is no longer tenable.
The George Bell Hockey Association has kindly agreed to assume all our ice slots at Rennie Rink and incorporate this outdoor ice time into their own similar programs ensuring that organized Learn to Skate and Hockey continues at Rennie Rink.
Registration for George Bell’s 2024-2025 indoor programs opened on APRIL 1, 2024 at www.gbha.ca.

We will send you a registration reminder in late August. As with the Swansea Hockey Association programs, it is best to register as early as possible to ensure a spot.
We want to thank Toronto Parks & Recreation, the parents, rink volunteers, coaches, sponsors, referees, and members of the executive who, over the past 50 years, made the Swansea Hockey Association possible. Of course, we also want to acknowledge each player who braved the cold and laced up their skates each week.
Various hockey leagues preceded the Swansea Hockey Association at Rennie Rink and in our community. We are proud of our role in carrying the torch for 50 years. We are grateful to the George Bell Hockey Association for its willingness to continue community-based skating and hockey programs outdoors. We look forward to supporting and cheering for the kids at Rennie Rink next year.
Thank you for understanding.
The Executive of the Swansea Hockey Association
