The Ontario Junior Hockey League has announced that Milton will host the 2026 OJHL All-Star Celebration next month.
It will take place at the Milton Memorial Arena on Sunday, January 18th and will be hosted by the Milton Menace. The marquee event will feature an East vs. West matchup showcasing standout players from across the OJHL’s 24-team circuit, representing the league’s scoring leaders, defensive standouts and top goaltenders from the first half of the season. Puck drop is scheduled for shortly after 2:30 p.m., following on-ice warm-ups beginning at 2:00 p.m.
The day will extend beyond the game itself, with community events planned at 1:00 p.m. and again at 5:00 p.m., as part of a day-long celebration aimed at engaging local residents and hockey fans. Additional details about the community programming will be announced closer to the event.
Fans will also see the next generation of local hockey talent take to the ice between periods. Timbits players from minor hockey initiation programs will play a short game during the first intermission, while the second intermission will feature a Minor Hockey Showdown.
Tickets for the All-Star Celebration are on sale for $10, with children aged 10 and under admitted free.
Rosters, along with coaching and support staff for both all-star teams, will be announced in early January.
