Hockey Nova Scotia would like to advise all members of the Cole Harbour Bel Ayr Minor Hockey Association and Eastern Shore Minor Hockey Association, as well as any players eligible and interested in participating in the Nova Scotia U15 Major Hockey League during the 2025-26 season, that we are currently accepting bids to operate a franchise in Region 5 (which includes the boundaries of the Cole Harbour Bel Ayr Minor Hockey Association and Eastern Shore Minor Hockey Association).

All bids are due on May 1 and we are striving to have the new franchise operators in place as soon as possible.

We want you to know that Spring ID camps will be held later than usual this season, but they will go ahead once the new operators are in place.

Thank you for your understanding and all the best during the offseason!

Yours in Hockey,

Brad MacKinley
