Belleville Minor Hockey Expands With 16 Jr Bulls Teams for 2026-27
The local club enters the new season with squads across every age group carrying identical opening records.
How we reported this

Belleville Minor Hockey Association has registered 16 teams under the Jr Bulls banner for the 2026-27 campaign, every one of them showing a 0-0-0 record and a 0.00 or 0.0 rating on the latest update from myhockeyrankings.com.
The listings appear on the association page at myhockeyrankings.com/association-info?a=2208, dated ahead of the July 17 deadline for the coming winter schedule. With no games played, the uniform starting position reflects the standard pre-season snapshot used by the ranking service for all clubs still awaiting puck drop.
Local Clubs Prepare at Home Facilities
Belleville residents will see the teams based at the Quinte Sports & Wellness Centre once practices begin. The association operates as an active member of both the OMHA and LHL circuits, giving local players pathways into competitive play at every level from the youngest squirt divisions through midget.
Parents and volunteers in Belleville have already begun coordinating registration and equipment checks at the same rink complex that hosts the association’s year-round programs. The early posting of rosters allows families to plan around the full slate of A and AA squads rather than waiting for last-minute adjustments.
Full Breakdown of 2026-27 Jr Bulls Entries
The source page shows four midget teams: U16 A and U16 AA plus U18 A and U18 AA, all entered in LHL divisions. Four bantam squads follow the same pattern with U14 A, U14 AA, U15 A and U15 AA. Four peewee teams cover U12 A, U12 AA, U13 A and U13 AA, while the squirt age group fields U10 A, U10 AA, U11 A and U11 AA. Every entry carries the same 0-0-0 mark and zero rating at this stage.
These 16 teams represent the complete competitive offering the association will field once the 2026-27 season opens. No other divisions or exhibition squads appear on the current listing.
Local coaches and managers can now begin scheduling ice sessions and evaluating players with the knowledge that all 16 entries start on equal footing. Families interested in following the Jr Bulls should monitor the myhockeyrankings.com association page for updates once the first games are played and standings begin to shift.
