Happy New Year to all players! 

The Canadian Men's Olympic Hockey roster was recently announced. Once again, no one from the FFHL made the cut but we're looking forward to the second half of our league's winter season! 

The FFHL will establish the Dan Adam Sportsmanship Award dedicated to the memory of Dan Adam. Dan played several seasons in the FFHL, exemplifying the elements of good sportsmanship and earning the respect of teammates, opponents and officials. Dan passed away early in 2025. With the kind permission of the Adam family, the Dan Adam Sportsmanship Award will be presented each regular season to a member of our hockey league who best demonstrates the elements of sportsmanship: respect, positive attitude and teamwork.
