The Stratford Cullitons will be entering their 33rd season of exciting hockey as members of the Midwestern Junior Hockey League. Our History page provides a clear and interesting picture of the consistent success of our program over the past three decades.

Our organization is proud of the success attained by numerous former Cullitons who have moved on to success at Canadian and American universities and colleges where, in many cases, hockey has been a springboard to numerous careers. Our list of alumnae who have played, or are currently playing in the National Hockey League is indeed impressive. Former Cullitons are proudly represented at all levels of hockey from management, coaching, media and scouting for junior and professional hockey organizations.

As a member of the Culliton organization, every player will have the opportunity to develop both on and off the ice as a member of the Stratford Community by attending secondary school, a post secondary institution, or through the world of work. Some players volunteer in our minor hockey program The Culliton organization wants our players to experience the full range of life during their time in Stratford.

Most Culliton players will be attending either secondary school or will register at college or university. The Cullitons expect students to conduct themselves in a responsible manner at all times at school and in the community. Players will sign an education waiver to allow our Coaches and Education Liaison to access player attendance, performance, grades and behavior.

Billet arrangements are made by the Cullitons for any player who is required to reside in our community during the season. Any billeted player who is attending secondary school is given the option to stay with his billet until the end of the school year.

Players are expected to observe household rules and assist with various household chores. A number of our billets have been Culliton supporters for many years and they provide the player with “home away from home” support during his experience in Stratford.

It has been said that Culliton opponents and on-ice officials enjoy coming to Stratford on Friday nights because the Allman Arena experience is second to none. With regular season attendance averaging 1200-1500 and many nights surpassing 2000 loud and involved fans, it’s easy to see why any player would enjoy the hockey environment in Stratford. Playoff crowds have surpassed 2600 on numerous occasions. Many of our nearly 1000 season ticket supporters have held the same space for decades. Our on-ice success, which is documented on our History page, would not be as rich without our loyal followers.

The Stratford Cullitons are known across North America as one of the most successful hockey programs in junior hockey. While being successful both on and off the ice, our board of directors, along with management, are most proud of our consistent performance over the past three decades. Culliton Brothers, our proud sponsor, has been with us for each season since day one. By looking at the Former Players page, you can clearly see that we have had many players move on to various levels of success through academics and athletics. Our success at moving players on to success through hockey is second to none.
