Founded in 1982, the Mississauga Braves Hockey Association is a non profit organization operating out of the Hershey Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The Mississauga Braves Hockey Association competes in the GTHL AA West Division with some 170 players aged eight to 18 on ten teams. The Braves Association strives to provide a positive environment for players to develop both hockey and life skills, while enjoying the thrill and benefits of competing in Canada’s national winter sport. GTHL AA Hockey provides plenty of competition and ample opportunity for players to develop and hone their individual and team skills. Braves alumni include NHL great Jason Spezza who played four seasons with the Mississauga Braves prior to making the jump to AAA, and current OHL phenom John Tavares also proudly donned the Braves jersey.
