It’s game time, Mississauga! City hosts a summer full of ball hockey

By Events

Canada’s Game. One City. Our Stage. Mississauga is the proud host of the 2025 OBHF Provincials and CBHA Nationals, bringing thousands of players and fans to Mississauga this summer.

July 17, 2025

Mississauga is at the centre of ball hockey action this summer, with weeks of exciting games hosted at the Paramount Fine Foods Centre. Until August 9, Visit Mississauga is hosting the Ontario Ball Hockey Federation (OBHF) Provincial Championships and the Canada Ball Hockey Association (CBHA) National Championships. This is expected to draw more than 6,600 players, coaches and families from across Canada to enjoy the games, experience the city’s state-of-the-art facilities and explore our vibrant attractions. Ball hockey is similar to ice hockey but played on a dry surface instead of an ice rink and uses a ball instead of a hockey puck.

Ontario Ball Hockey Federation Provincial Championships

The action begins with the Ontario Ball Hockey Federation Provincial Championships, which will run until July 20. These games are free to attend, and both locals and visitors are invited to come out and cheer from the sidelines.

Canada Ball Hockey Association National Championships

Starting on July 22, the Canada Ball Hockey Association National Championships take over. Ticketed games will run from July 22 to August 9. This is also the first year the CBHA will host the “SUPER” nationals, marking a monumental event that is expected to bring all ball hockey divisions together under one roof, from grassroots youth teams to elite legends, showcasing the evolution and collaboration of the sport.

More than 140 teams and nearly 5,000 players from across the country will be attending, representing the most comprehensive national championship ever staged in Canadian ball hockey. The SUPER Nationals will also be a key scouting opportunity with Team Canada selectors on site for multiple divisions.

Together, these tournaments are expected to be a huge win for the City, drawing large crowds and boosting local tourism, while putting Mississauga on the map as a premier destination for sporting events. It’s an event you won’t want to miss!

Interested in attending the historic 2025 SUPER nationals?

Spectators can buy tickets directly at Entrance A at Paramount Fine Foods Centre:

  • $10 for a day pass
  • $30 for a full event pass.

Tickets are also available for purchase online on Ticketmaster’s website. Members of the media are also invited to attend both the opening ceremonies and championship games. The facility is accessible by public transit via MiWay routes 39 and 53. It also offers free parking and can accommodate up to 1,900 vehicles.

Those unable to attend in person can still catch all the action live. All games will be livestreamed at www.hnlive.ca for a fee.

Championship schedule

The 2025 SUPER Nationals will take place across three events:

  • Event 1: July 22 to 26: Men’s B, C, D + U23 / Women’s B, C + U23
  • Event 2: July 29 to August 2: Junior Boys’ & Girls’ Nationals – U15, U17, U19
  • Event 3: August 4 to 9 Men’s Premier ‘A’, Masters 34+, Legends 44+ / Women’s Premier ‘A’, Masters 34+

August 4 will be a special day during the tournament, featuring a celebration with members of the first-ever CBHA Nationals team from 1978. Their attendance honours the sport’s grassroots beginnings and reflects how far the Nationals have come, now proudly the SUPER Nationals.

Experience Mississauga between the games

Outside the ball hockey arena, there’s plenty for athletes and visitors to explore and enjoy while they’re in Mississauga:

  • Minecraft Experience: Villager Rescue at Square One Shopping Centre.
  • Dungeons & Dragons: The Immersive Quest at Square One Shopping Centre (open until July 27).
