The AHL is Australia's premier national domestic hockey competition and is widely recognised as one of the strongest and most competitive national leagues in the world. The AHL provides an important platform for aspiring Australian representatives and acts as the 'stepping stone' for hockey's future international stars. Participating in the AHL is a selection requirement for all current and aspiring national squad members. The Canberra Lakers and the Canberra Labor Club Strikers are ACT's AHL men's and women's teams. Both teams are made up of the most talented players from the ACT hockey region.
