Rep? House?

Question
Hi
What doe the terms house league and rep league mean, ans are they different from minor hockey? Thanks

Answer
Bud,

Thanks for writing.  Rep Hockey (travel) is a league in which the team belongs or plays within a league where the team has to travel to play games, but within a league structure.  Where House League is on performed within the "home" rink and does not travel.

Rep is generally at a higher skill level, where as House is designed for skill development.  In each program (if they want the program to grow) should have 3 main programs.

1. Developmental Program: like an ADM or a Hockey 123 program.  Both are the same.
2. House League: Is designed to allow those kids within the Developmental program to test out those skills.
3. Travel or Rep program is designed to "represent" the rink and their programs or association.

I hoped this helped.
