BHA Simple Age Calculator

Competitions that are age restricted require that a player's age as at the 1st January of current year be determined. In the case of the BHA Junior Hockey League (JHL) Competition, that age (as at 1 January) is used to place a player in the corresponding "under age team" for the Season. Here are some examples:

  • a player who is 12 years old as at 1 January of the current year would be "under 13" and therefore eligible to play in the JHL Under 13 Division;
  • a player who is 9 years old as at 1 January of the current year would be eligible to play in the JHL Under 11 Division, but not in the Under 9 Division.

When using this calculator and the links to other calculators, please be mindful of the need to check the latest version of the BHA Competition Rules & Requirements document for current eligibility as this may change from year to year. You can view/download the latest version from this page .
