London, Ontario – The London Devilettes girls’ hockey organization has announced the roster selections for its U13AA competitive team following the conclusion of its fourth tryout update, released on April 20, 2026. The update, designated as Tryout Update #4 and labeled U13AA 657, confirms the final list of players invited to join the team for the upcoming season within the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association (OWHA) framework.
According to the official notice published by the London Devilettes, which operates under the London Girls Hockey Association (LGHA), 17 players have been selected for the U13AA 657 roster. The team will compete in the OWHA’s U13AA division, which features elite-level competition for athletes aged 12 and 13 across Ontario. The announcement marks the completion of a multi-stage evaluation process that began in early spring and included on-ice skill assessments, scrimmages, and coach evaluations.
The London Devilettes are a prominent girls’ hockey organization based in London, Ontario, dedicated to developing female athletes through structured training, competitive play, and adherence to OWHA standards. The organization fields teams across multiple age and skill divisions, from house league to elite AAA levels, and is recognized for its commitment to player development, safety, and inclusivity within the sport.
The U13AA designation indicates a competitive tier just below the highest AAA level, offering a high-performance pathway for players aiming to advance in provincial and national circuits. Selections at this level are highly competitive, with tryouts typically drawing dozens of applicants from across the region. The Devilettes’ selection process emphasizes skating ability, hockey sense, teamwork, and coachability, in addition to technical skills such as shooting, passing, and defensive positioning.
As of the latest update, the team is scheduled to begin pre-season training in late August 2026, with regular season play commencing in September under the OWHA’s 2026-2027 calendar. The team will participate in league games, exhibition matches, and provincial tournaments throughout the season, with opportunities to qualify for the OWHA Championships in the spring of 2027.
Parents and players were notified directly via email and through the organization’s secure team portal. The Devilettes encourage all athletes who participated in the tryouts to continue developing their skills through spring and summer programs, including skating clinics and skill-specific camps offered by the LGHA and affiliated partners.
The organization reiterated its commitment to transparency and fairness in the selection process, stating that all evaluations were conducted by certified coaching staff using standardized criteria. Feedback sessions are available upon request for players who were not selected, to support their ongoing development and future tryout efforts.
