The Almonte Pakenham Minor Hockey Association is hosting a high-stakes U21 playoff game at the Almonte Arena in Mississippi Mills, Ontario, on March 13, 2026. The local U21-T2 Thunder will take on the Carleton Place Kings as they move through the final stages of the competitive season.
The game is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM and serves as a pivotal match in the tournament bracket. This competition is part of the Hockey Eastern Ontario District 4 league, which governs youth hockey across the Rideau Carleton region.
Local fans and families are expected to attend the match to support home-grown athletes in this long-standing rivalry between the two neighbouring towns. The Almonte Arena remains a central hub for the community’s athletic life as the association concludes its winter playoff schedule.
The minor hockey association manages age divisions ranging from U7 to U21 for residents in both Almonte and Pakenham. This Friday night matchup represents one of the final opportunities for local fans to watch the oldest youth division compete on home ice this year.
