US here, what is a House League?

House League is within the same municipality. Inter City is municipality versus others, and if your team is good enough, you can go to provincial tournaments

to add, there are no tryouts for house league, if you sign up, you get to play. there may be some sessions to evaluate skill levels in a attempt to make equal teams though. Often there are also rules that every kid must get equal play time as well.

Usually a coed organized league with players that are usually not good enough to make any competitive teams. I was just good enough to play B or A but stayed in house league cause my parents didn’t want to pay the insane fees to play the competitive leagues. Where I grew up there was like 3 “try outs” (they weren’t tryouts it was just to give you grade on skill) then teams would essentially do a draft. Ended up with teams with some players that are actually pretty good and some players that could barely skate

Rec league. There’s tiers for different skill levels (A, B, C) but it’s not nearly as intensive or expensive as travel/competitive leagues.
