Our History

Ball Hockey Alberta builds upon decades of dedication to the sport:

Wild Rose Ball Hockey Alberta (WRBHA)

Canada’s oldest ball hockey association and the recognized Provincial Sport Organization under the Canadian Ball Hockey Association, WRBHA carried a legacy of competitive excellence and provincial leadership, guided by its slogan:
“BALL HOCKEY. PLAY IT. LIVE IT.”

Alberta Minor Ball Hockey Association (AMBHA)

Established on June 25, 2001, AMBHA became the official governing body for minor ball hockey in Alberta. Beginning with Edmonton Minor, Edmonton Metro, and Calgary Super Leagues, it has since grown to include member leagues across the province, from Medicine Hat and Sherwood Park to St. Albert, Grande Prairie, Fort McMurray, and beyond.

PROVINCIALS

The Provincial Championships are a cornerstone of Alberta’s ball hockey community, hosted in cities across the province since 2009. From Edmonton to Medicine Hat, Grande Prairie, and beyond, these events showcase Alberta’s talent and passion for the sport.

WESTERNS

The Western Challenge Cup is a premier event in minor ball hockey, uniting top teams from across Western Canada since 2013. From Alberta to British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, the tournament highlights regional talent and the growing strength of the game.

NATIONALS

The National Championships are the pinnacle of minor ball hockey in Canada, bringing together the country’s top teams since 1991. From coast to coast, the event showcases elite talent, celebrates community pride, and crowns Canada’s best in the sport.
