Minor Hockey Areas in Southwest Edmonton: Confederation, SWAT and KC Southwest
Southwest Edmonton families register for community hockey by home address, and the area south of the river is split between Hockey Edmonton's South West Zone associations: Confederation Hockey and SWAT Hockey, with KC Southwest as the Knights of Columbus parish option for the same district. If you are buying in Windermere, Terwillegar, Riverbend or Heritage Valley and your kids play, the address you buy decides which association they register with.
Dane Phaneuf and Mathew Haupt both grew up around the rink, so this is a question we ask early in a southwest search, before anyone falls for a house.

How Hockey Edmonton places a player
- Address first. Hockey Edmonton's registration page tells families to register within the boundary for their home address and to find it on the association's interactive boundary map.
- Four community zones. Community hockey is organised into NE, NW, SW and SE zones. The South West Zone lists Confederation Hockey and SWAT Hockey.
- Parish option. On the same map, families can choose the Knights of Columbus boundaries to register with a parish; the KC option for the southwest district is KC Southwest.
- Older line description. Hockey Edmonton's earlier registration notes described the SW district as south of the river and west of the CPR tracks. Treat that as background only and confirm the 2026-27 line on the live map.
Rinks southwest families use
| Arena | Address | Nearby ER guides |
|---|---|---|
| Terwillegar Arena (four sheets at the Terwillegar rec centre) | 2051 Leger Road | Leger, Terwillegar Towne, MacTaggart |
| Confederation Arena | 11204 43 Avenue | Greenfield, Aspen Gardens, Duggan |
| Kinsmen Arena | 1979 111 Street | Blackburne, Twin Brooks, Richford |
The City lists the Terwillegar facility with four NHL-size ice sheets, which is why so many southwest practices land on Leger Road. Ice slots are assigned by the associations, not by distance, so the closest arena is not always the one your team uses.
What this changes about a house hunt
- Check the boundary before the showing. We pull the address up on the Hockey Edmonton map with you, especially for homes near a zone edge such as the CPR line on the east side of the southwest.
- Think about the drive, not only the zone. A Heritage Valley family on Ellerslie Road and a Riverbend family on Rabbit Hill Road are both in the southwest, yet their weeknight drives to Leger Road and 43 Avenue are very different. Ask your association which rinks it books most.
- Time the move with the season. Hockey Edmonton has used a spring player movement deadline in past seasons. If a move crosses a boundary mid-season, call the registrar at office@hockeyedmonton.ca before you firm up a possession date.
- Girls' hockey is city-wide. Edmonton Girls Hockey is listed separately from the zones, so a move inside the city does not change that registration.
Prices across the southwest vary widely by community. See the southwest market page for sales, inventory and median prices for each of the 67 communities we track.

Hockey questions from southwest families
Which hockey associations cover southwest Edmonton?
Hockey Edmonton lists Confederation Hockey and SWAT Hockey in its South West Zone. KC Southwest is the Knights of Columbus parish option for the southwest district.
Can my child pick a southwest association if we live elsewhere in Edmonton?
Hockey Edmonton places community players by home address, so registration follows the boundary your address falls in. Ask the registrar about any exception before you count on one.
Where do I check the boundary for a specific house?
Use the interactive boundary map linked from Hockey Edmonton's registration page. The team can check a listing address with you before a showing.
Does buying a house mid-season change my child's team?
It can if the new address is in a different association. Contact the registrar at office@hockeyedmonton.ca before you set a possession date.
Which arenas are on the southwest side?
City arenas on the southwest side include Terwillegar Arena at 2051 Leger Road, Confederation Arena at 11204 43 Avenue and Kinsmen Arena at 1979 111 Street.
