Our Story
About Seaside Hockey

Mission & Vision

The purpose of Seaside Minor Hockey Association is to provide assistance to visible minority youths in the GTA community to play hockey by removing financial barriers. Seaside Minor Hockey Association provides a safe and inclusive environment for youths and their families to enjoy hockey while delivering quality instruction.

Seaside Hockey will strive to provide quality leadership at all levels, and to develop the understanding of teamwork and sportsmanship in an atmosphere of fun and positive reinforcement for all players, families, and volunteers.

Through quality instruction, professional coaching, life skills, and leading-edge hockey-based mentorship programs, Seaside Hockey uses hockey to offer minority youth space to develop, learn, be challenged, and to support their growth into confident individuals.

Based out of north Scarborough, Seaside Hockey is committed to making hockey available to more Canadians — providing opportunities for racialized players to participate in the sport with confidence and ability through educational programs and mentorship relationships from all levels of sport.

Our Heritage

Seaside got their name from the Africville Sea-Sides, who played in The Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes (CHL) — an all-Black men's league founded in 1895 by Black Baptists and Black intellectuals in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The founders wanted to use Seaside as a tribute to the Colored Hockey League — a league originally formed to teach teamwork and sportsmanship in an atmosphere of fun and positive reinforcement.
