HERITAGE HOCKEY LEAGUE
The Heritage Hockey League (HHL) was established in 1981 in the City of Calgary when six original member teams pooled their ice bookings in order to form a new league. The league has, since it's inception, concentrated on providing a very competitive level of adult recreational hockey. The league has enjoyed tremendous growth over the years and is currently made up of 30 member teams playing within 4 distinct divisions. Over half the member teams currently in the league have been member teams for ten years or more. The league uses (primarily) prime-time ice bookings at several arenas within the City of Calgary.
