U11 AA SCHEDULE >

With over 400 games being played this season, the puck drops on regular season games October 19 and it all wraps up by crowning a League/Provincial Champion.

In 2024-25, 49 teams are suiting up in the league. Associations icing a team include: Airdrie, Beaumont, Bonnyville, Brooks, Calgary (11 teams), Camrose, Cochrane, Edmonton (six teams), Foothills, Fort McMurray, Fort Saskatchewan, Fort St. John, Grande Prairie, Lacombe, Leduc, Lethbridge, Lloydminster, Medicine Hat, Okotoks, Olds, Peace River, Red Deer, Sherwood Park (2), Spruce Grove, St. Albert (2), Strathcona, Strathmore, Sturgeon HC, Sylvan Lake, Taber, Wainwright and Whitecourt.

For the past two seasons, the U11 AA league operated as U11 HADP, a pilot program that created a competitive balance for similarly skilled players to compete together and against each other.

Hockey Alberta, who operates the U11 AA league, identified Minor Hockey Associations required to host U11 AA teams as part of the U11 AA Hockey Model (a Minor Hockey Association that is hosting U13 AA teams as part of the AA Hockey Model will host the same number of U11 AA teams as they operate at U13 AA). As well, Hockey Alberta has identified a process that allows Minor Hockey Associations (including those not hosting U13 AA teams) to apply to Hockey Alberta for expansion.
