Commencing in the 2018-19 season, Edmonton Federation Hockey League has streamlined it's tiering structure for U9 through U18 Divisions of Play. This streamlining is a product of the new Alberta One Standardized Tiering Model, put in place by Hockey Alberta. The Alberta One Standardized Tiering Model will help to create consistent tiering numbers and competition across the province of Alberta. Please Click Here for examples of EFHL's old and new tiering structure.
During the 2019-2020 season the Edmonton Federation Hockey League received approval from the Hockey Alberta Minor Leagues Committee to utilize a colour coded system of further separate tiers with substantial teams in order to provide more appropriate competition and scheduling, the following colour coded tiers will be used consistently across all divisions and tiers of play. (Red, Blue, Green, Orange and Purple)
