About the LFA
Offering better options to adult hockey players
The Ligue Fédérale des As, better known by its acronym LFA, was created in December 2012 following its creation by the Hockey Brotherhood Association, which has over 20 years of experience. La ligue est en constante évolution, promouvant une nouvelle approches de gestion avec des idées novatrices tout en développant des nouveaux marchés chaque année.
The LFA is undoubtedly the premier adult hockey league in Quebec, and the Hockey Brotherhood Association is the driving force for change in creating a new socially responsible approach to sport.
Where does the name of the Ligue Fédérale des As come from?
The LFA owes its name to a nod to the film Slap Shot, whose fictional league names (The League of Aces, The Federal League) inspired the founder!
Here are the major milestones that have shaped the LFA since its creation.
The league is founded and has 4 teams, made up mainly of friends and acquaintances who want to play well-organized hockey.
The LFA is organizing the first true Winter Classic in Montreal’s history. The event raises $10,000 for the Montreal Canadiens Children’s Foundation.
Ten years after its creation, the Ligue Fédérale des As has more than 40 teams spread across several distinct divisions.
The LFA has over 3000 members; in addition to hundreds of regular players, it relies on a pool of thousands of substitute players to offer complete and balanced teams.

President's Message
The main idea is to have fun together. The LFA is competitive BUT friendly above all. A good attitude on and off the ice is essential for everyone’s benefit. As a hockey legend once said, “Be like a child and leave your ego at the door.”
