The OHF Atom A Championship will be hosted this year by the Kapuskasing Atom A Icehawks. The tournament will be held at Kapusaksing Sports Palace from April 12th to 14th, 2019. 

The Atom A Icehawks have had an eventful season leading up to the Championships. A few notable accomplishments for the 2018-19 season were winning the Icebreaker Tournament in Timmins, and taking home the silver medal following a close game to the Atom A China Winter Sport Hunters at the Bell Capital Cup in Ottawa.
