Don't you mean first year of high school? For the majority of the country, 9th grade is the beginning of high school.

Or in BC. High school is Grades 8-12. I think that's like that everywhere in Canada. We also only refer to grades by number and never use terms like "freshman" or "sophomore". In fact I only have a vague idea what those terms even refer to. Same with college. You say you're in your first year, second year, etc. Also no one cares that much about college since most people go somewhere in their local area and no one cares about college sports aside from people attending the college itself. But that makes sense since hockey is clearly the number one sport and pro hockey players often skip college altogether and join the NHL when they're 18.
