The Ann Arbor Golden Masters Hockey League (AAGMHL) is a senior draft hockey league in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  Games are played at the Biggby Ice Cube and Vets Park Arena on Sunday and Monday evenings.  The AAGMHL has 3 Divisions; Yzerman (higher skilled), Redmond (mid-level skill), and  Howe (less skilled). Skill level will be the main determining factor for placement in a Division. AAGMHL is a year-around league with 2 separate draft seasons;  Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer. Divisions may be combined for the Spring /Summer season depending on the number of registrants.  Depending on registration demand, players who register for a higher division and are not drafted will be available to be drafted in a lower division.   If there is a special request, the Board of Directors’ may approve exceptions for younger players.  Such exceptions are NOT permanent and players will be re-evaluated before each season. Great efforts are made to evaluate player's abilities to create a competitive, respectful and balanced league.   All players must be registered with USA Hockey.
