U18 Recruitment Information
To All:We would like to take this opportunity to introduce our U18 AAA program to everyone that would be eligible for 2023/24 Hockey Team. The age groups that will qualify are the 2006/07 birth years. The Windsor AAA Zone has an excellent program and has competed at the highest level for the past 9 years. We have some very good players in our area and would like to continue to ice another good Hockey team. Our program was awarded the Central Regional OHF tournament this past year where our team competed against all the League winners in the Province. The program had an outstanding year finishing second in league play and advancing to the OHF Gold Medal Game. The memories made were incredible.  



My Name is Tony Ciampa and I have been around the game for thirty plus years.  My staff and I will be dedicated to making sure that we represent our area along with our players and to compete at the highest of levels. I have been involved in the U16 AAA program and also Junior Levels in our area. I am presently resigned from a long term Vice President Position with the Windsor AAA  and continue to scout U16 AAA and U18 AAA age groups for the upcoming Priority selection Drafts for the Oshawa Generals OHL team. My experience in this field is long and dedicated and I am very fortunate to lead the Windsor U18 AAA program once again into the 2023/24 season.

As far as recruitment is concerned, the Windsor U18 AAA Program is made up of all players eligible to join that have Alliance Hockey credentials. For example: All other age eligible players from within the Alliance has an opportunity to tryout and play for Windsor. (I.E. Sun County, Chatham, Lambton, Elgin and London) and all others willing to play on a competitive high level team to compete for the ultimate goal. We want to ice a good respectful and hardworking hockey team and compete at the highest level.

The Windsor U18 AAA program is an excellent way of continuing the player’s development and being able to play at a high level against other high level players in the province and abroad that are also drafted or undrafted in this past first draft and gives them another opportunity at another shot at the draft or being invited to the high levels of structure.  It is important to note that the upcoming year will be a challenge to all players making a decision on where to play. We have always considered U18 AAA a great alternative to continue to play at a high level. There are many great stories of players that remained in Minor Hockey for one more year and then found themselves playing at higher levels and were satisfied that they along with their families made the right choice. The one thing that I learned through the many years of experience is that every player should play at a level where they can perform and play good minutes throughout the season. We hold the program in High Regard and will continue to pursue a championship with this next group of talented players moving forward. The fact that we were able to show the province that we have real talent in our area is a great bonus. The U18 AAA program will be run like a Junior Hockey team with a home rink and their own Dressing Rooms. We have partnered with Central Park Athletics for the past ten years and it is an excellent facility.

Some of our players and families have sent us some feedback that we would like to share with everyone.
