District 3 is comprised of all seven (7) minor hockey associations in Prescott-Russell counties (excluding the portion of Russell Township west / Concession IV) and two (2) organizations: minor hockey clubs administering "AA" and "A" minor hockey teams known as Eastern Ontario Cobras.
Players from our region can also tryout for other competitive teams like the ICEDOGS (Rep B) and the Eastern Ontario Wild (AAA). The ICEDOGS are usually a combination of competitive players from the EMHA and the CMHA (Casselman Minor Hockey Association) that play in other Ottawa leagues like the Ontario East Minor Hockey League (OEMHL).
Note: Both the Eastern Ontario Cobras and the ICEDOGS play outside the District 3 schedules.
7 Associations: (which consist of Nation & PGL - Initiation, Novice, Atom, Pee Wee, Bantam, Midget, and Juvenile)
- Casselman Minor Hockey Association
- Clarence Minor Hockey Association
- Embrun Minor Hockey Association
- Hawkesbury Minor Hockey Association
- Rockland Minor Hockey Association
- St-Isidore Minor Hockey Association
- Vankleek Hill Minor Hockey Association
2 Organizations: (competitive)
