Save Weston Minor Hockey League

The Issue

For decades, Weston Minor Hockey League has been more than just a hockey program — it’s been a home, a tradition, and a community where generations of children have laced up their skates, built lifelong friendships, and grown through Canada’s game.

With the proposed redevelopment of Weston Lions Arena by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE), our league is now facing displacement and the heartbreaking loss of the only ice surface in Weston.

This isn’t just about hockey — it’s about community, belonging, and preserving the fabric of Weston’s history and future.

We, the undersigned, are calling on:

MLSE
The City of Toronto
Premier Doug Ford
Councillor Frances Nunziata
Mayor Olivia Chow 
Local community leaders and stakeholders

to urgently work together and secure a home for the Weston Minor Hockey League. Whether through a new facility, partnership for seasonal ice time, or incorporating ice space into future community developments — our children deserve a place to continue this cherished tradition.

This will be Weston Minor Hockey League's final season at Weston Lions Arena. This commemorative, farewell season will give our players, families, and community the opportunity to properly say goodbye to a building that holds decades of memories, tradition, and meaning for Weston. We will celebrate the arena’s legacy the right way — on the ice, together.

Help us save hockey in Weston. Help us secure a new home, where kids grow stronger, build confidence, and carry on a proud legacy.

Sign this petition and stand with Weston Minor Hockey League.
