Helping everyone play
RICHMOND — The Ontario Minor Hockey Association
[OMHA] recently announced donations made by local
minor hockey associations and leagues to the Minor
Hockey Foundation Ontario [MI -IF] in support of the
Let's Learn Hockey Program.
MHF president John Archibald presented the
Stouffville Clippers minor atom team with an acknowl-
edgement certificate recognizing their fundraising
efforts at an event in March.
The parents of players from Unionville Minor Hockey
were presented with an acknowledgement plaque at
the Let's Learn Hockey event in April in Alliston for
their fundraising efforts towards the program.
The New Tecumseth Minor Hockey Association also
stepped up in April and committed to paying half of the
arena and related costs for the Let's Learn Hockey
event in Alliston.
Finally, the teams of the Shamrock Hockey League
came together and each made a donation on behalf of
their centre and the Shamrock League to the MHF. As
with the other donations the teams will be supporting
the Let's Learn Hockey program.
In 2000 the MHF was created to support minor hock-
ey players in the Province of Ontario. The Let's Learn
Hockey Program provides children who are currently
experiencing difficulty raising enough funds to partici-
pate in the game of ice hockey by helping to:
• Obtain new or upgraded equipment;
• Participate in a one -day hockey Orientation Camp;
• Receive financial assistance towards their minor
hockey registration fee for the season immediately fol-
lowing the date of the one -day Let's Learn Hockey
Program orientation event.
Past LLHP events included participants from the
Children's Aid Society, Big Brother's and Big Sister's
and residents of areas governed by the Ontario Minor
Hockey Association [OMHA] and other Member
Partners of the Ontario Hockey Federation [OHF] and
the Ottawa District Minor Hockey Association.
The OMHA encourages all local associations and
leagues to become involved with the Minor Hockey
Foundation Ontario.
