1 ONTARIO WOMEN’S HOCKEY ASSOCIATION

PUTTING the PLAYER FIRST

PARTICIPATION + DEVELOPMENT + EXCELLENCE = Game ON

The Ontario Women’s Hockey Association extends its most sincere congratulations and thanks to our teammates throughout Ontario who work tirelessly to provide opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels to enjoy female hockey and to gain positive life skills and experiences.

We thank Premier Wynne, Minister Couteau and the staff in the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport for their recognition of the OWHA as the Provincial Sports Organization (PSO) for Female Hockey in the Province of Ontario. We are thrilled with the release of Game ON – the Ontario Government’s Sports Plan and look forward to its positive impact on hockey and sport in this province. We enjoy a strong relationship with other PSO members and support our members to be multi-sport athletes which will enhance their athleticism and life experiences.

Game ON – The Ontario Government’s Sport Plan is a sport-focussed, athlete-centred and results-oriented plan. The plan builds on a strong existing foundation of sport organizations, programs and investments. It recognizes the many ways in which organized sport can be good for people and communities, from the obvious health benefits of physical activity to the economic benefits of major events. The plan has identified three priorities for amateur sport in this province – participation, development and excellence. The plan is designed to support a system that encourages as many people as possible to play organized sports, and to retain participants in those sports by developing the passion and skills of the athletes. The Ontario Government’s Sport Plan encourages life-long participation and engagement in sport and physical activity.

Participation: All athletes are better able to participate in safe, organized sport. Opportunities are available for all Ontarians to get involved in organized sport. Athletes participating in organized sport are provided with a positive experience.

OWHA teams and association welcome girls and women of all ages and abilities. Registration numbers need to rise and we are encouraging each member to meet and exceed the challenge issued by Hockey Canada President, Tom Renney, to reach one million (1,000,000) participants by 2020. This means that all members in Hockey Canada will need to increase registration by 40%, including OWHA. The OWHA offers a welcoming environment to all communities. As examples, some OWHA associations have developed brochures in Mandarin to encourage the Chinese communities while others have worked with local mosques to encourage young Muslim girls to play hockey. Many associations are working hard to address the costs of hockey and to find ways to accommodates children in low income families, recognizing the challenges of sustainability. The aboriginal community has always had a strong presence and Team Ontario successfully captured the silver medals at the National Aboriginal Championship in Mississauga this May. Safety is a priority in the OWHA with its PAWSitive Values, the driving force towards rewarding on and office experiences that support the physical development and emotional health of each and every person. The OWHA will continue to expand its success in achieving the Government’s objective to narrow the gender gap in sport participation. The OWHA’s 100% focus on Female Hockey is a proven structural model in the sports world.

A global survey of 400 women executives found that 94 per cent participated in sport and 74 per cent agreed that a background in sport can help accelerate a woman’s leadership

and career potential.

Development: Athletes receive the right support as their skills develop. Athletes have access to trained coaches, officials and volunteers as they progress through the development pathway overseen by effective PSO.

Players throughout the province are developing team and individual skills as the calibre of the game continues to increase as teams came together to compete and celebrate the scope of Female Hockey at the OWHA Provincial Championships. In addition to the competitive side of the game, house leagues continue to grow and provide opportunities for players learning the game as they strive to move onto higher level teams and also for athletes who prefer this level of participation. A focus on a welcoming environment continues as a priority of the OWHA. Coaches and team staff are key players in skill development, team play and fair play. Many players, teams and games continue to be aware and support for Do It For Daron (DIFD) and mental health awareness. Studies continue to demonstrate that fun is a key component for athletes at even the highest level of sport. The OWHA officiating program continues to thrive under the exceptional leadership of OWHA Referee-in- Chief, Laurie Taylor Bolton, and a professional team of instructors and supervisors. The OWHA held multiple certification clinics, specialty seminars including scheduling and supervising the PWHL, OUA, CWHL OWHA Provincial Championships and Under 18 National Championships. The OWHA was disappointed with the cancellation of the 2015 Ontario Winter Games but is thrilled to be a part of the 2016 Ontario Summer Games that will be held August 11-14 in Mississauga. This is a great opportunity to run development programs for our Under 16 players, as well as participating coaches, team staff and on-ice officials. It is an exciting chance for participants to share a multi-sport Games with other sports.

Athletic financial awards for Canadian Interuniversity Sport athletes totaled $7.4 million for men compared to $5.3 million for women in 2013.

Excellence: Athletes can pursue excellence in high-performance sport. Athletes have competitive training and development opportunities, access to the latest high- performance programs, services, facilities and technologies and we are led by quality coaches, technical leaders and sport science and medicine experts.

The OWHA had an incredibly successful season at the High Performance Level sending 4 teams to 3 National Championships, bringing home 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze medals. Team Ontario Red won the gold medals at the U18 National Women’s Hockey Championship with Team Ontario Blue taking the bronze medals. At the 2016 Esso Cup, National Female Midget Championship, Brantford exhibited an outstanding performance, both on and off the ice, capturing gold medals against very tough competition. We also congratulate Team Ontario on its silver medal performance at the 2016 National Aboriginal Championship in Mississauga. Hockey Canada came away with 3 silver medals in International competition. The OWHA placed 11 players on the National U18 team, 11 on the National Women’s Team at the Four Nations Cup and 9 on the National Women’s Team at the World Championship. We congratulate all teams on their performance. Opportunities continue to grow in the OUA/CIS with more young players considering the strength of both the academic and hockey programs. We congratulate the University of Guelph on capturing the OUA Championship. The CWHL Clarkson Cup championship was captured by Calgary Inferno in an exciting game in Ottawa against Montreal Stars in front of many OWHA supporters. We congratulate the winners and also commend Brampton Thunder, Toronto Furies and Boston Blades on a great season. With the support of the Ministry, the OWHA carded 22 Ontario Athletes through Quest for Gold. 3

A highlight of the season for the OWHA was the hosting of the 2016 National U18 Championship in Huntsville and the 2016 IIHF U18 World Women’s Hockey Championship in St. Catharines. We sincerely thank the host committees and communities who did an outstanding job taking both events to new levels.

Of the 108 Canadian coaches at the 2014 Winter Olympics, only 11 were women.

In addition to the many activities of the 2015-2016 season, the OWHA reflected on its big-picture success over the past several seasons as we worked to increase our positioning in the hockey and sports world. Within the province of Ontario, the OWHA successfully completed the Ontario HPMP (High Performance Management Program) which qualified the organization to apply for acceptance into OHPSI (Ontario High Performance Sport Initiative). Upon acceptance into the program, we now work directly with CSIO (Canadian Sport Institute Ontario) and partner more closely with Hockey Canada in alignment with the delivery of high performance education, programs and training.

The Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport is launching an updated Sport Recreation Policy in the spring of 2016. We have attended a number of meetings and a provincial symposium listening to updated government requirements. We have secured the services of both governance and strategic planning experts as we review our management in order to better align with Ministry standards, Hockey Canada and to be at the top level of PSO’s in Ontario. The OWHA is working on a new governance structure, increased operational staff and an updated strategic plan. We are also undertaking a full review of rules, regulations and policies. We thank our consultant, Barbara Lyon-Stewart for her support in this endeavour.

The OWHA offers a wide range of programs and provides both participation and competition. It is absolutely critical that every single person takes responsibility and is accountable for upholding the positive values of the OWHA. Perspective is critical – hockey is a Game. Each time a player, volunteer, official, parent or supporter goes to a game or practice, they deserve a welcoming environment as we are all teammates in both hockey and in life. A special moment that puts this into perspective came this year for Brantford Ice Cats as they neared the end of the round robin at the Esso Cup when Makenna Ryder was cleared by Sick Kids Hospital to make the flight to Weyburn to cheer on her teammates. Makenna had been a valuable player and leader on the team until shortly before the OWHA Provincials when she was diagnosed with a very serious heart problem. We wish her well in the future and extend our congratulations on her inspirational support.

In closing, we would like to end by extending our most heartfelt appreciation for the contributions and friendship of Doug Nicholls who passed away last spring. Doug was a recruit to female hockey from ringette when his daughter Leisa switched sports. Doug was a key volunteer in the OWHA serving many roles and always putting the player first. We thank him for his outstanding contributions and commitment to each and every player.

Ontario Women’s Hockey Association The Ontario Women’s Hockey Association (OWHA) had a vision to develop female hockey to the highest level. In 1982 they hosted the first National Championship and lobbied for acceptance in the Winter Olympics. In 1987 the OWHA hosted the First Women’s World Hockey Tournament. The OWHA had a goal to place Ontario athletes on national teams and to develop athletes who are exceptional role models for Ontarians. Membership (players and coaches) has grown form 4,900 on 1987 to 58,499 in 2015.

We sincerely thank Hockey Canada for giving the OWHA the opportunity to host these two amazing events welcoming our valued colleagues from across Canada and throughout the world. Special thanks to the volunteers, supporters and fans for making dreams come true for participants and leaving a powerful legacy for future generations.

HUNTSVILLE: The infrastructure of the Huntsville community proved to be a perfect fit for the U18 Nationals with an exceptional 2-pad arena that provided all teams with a designated dressing room and provided ample space for the needs of the event. Deerhurst resort provided all teams with spacious rooms, designated meeting space, excellent food service and a setting that provided both privacy for individual teams and also a welcoming setting for teams and staff to interact and share Female Hockey stories.

A great highlight of the championship occurred before the teams took to the ice with a fabulous welcoming banquet. Teams entered the banquet hall with excitement but also quite shy and laid back as they came together as teammates and entered the competition. The Host Committee had secured a performance from the professional entertainers at Deerhurst who had the “night off”. They were contracted for a short session that was extended by them due to the enthusiasm and reception of the players. By the end of the evening, players from all teams joined in and truly became teammates from across Canada enjoying the celebration and opportunity to represent their provinces and grow the game.

The Championship grew from there with an amazing perspective of intense competition, good sportsmanship and great hockey. All teams and officials were a true credit to hockey and sport. The officiating team under the direction of Laurie Taylor-Bolton were professional and well received.

The Town of Huntsville and the Host Organizing Committee led by Wendy McConnell and Kari Lambe with the support of Mayor Atchison were professional, organized and provided a welcome environment for the competing teams and spectators.

ST. CATHARINES: The OWHA partnered with the Niagara Sport Commission under the leadership of Bram Cotton and Matt Hill to form a host committee led by Chair, Bill Fenwick, that worked tirelessly and set a brand new standard for this incredible event.

The brand new Meridian Centre provided a first class venue housing the Pool A teams and the majority of the games including the medal round. The Seymour Hannah complex housed the Pool B teams and four games. St. Catharines and the Niagara Region have an outstanding choice of first class accommodation with team and delegates housed at St. Catharine’s Four Points Sheraton and Holiday Inn.

To start off the event, an opening reception was held at Table Rock overlooking Niagara Falls. Players were treated to an informal reception, a walk under the Falls, the lighting of the Falls and a fireworks display to end the evening. Many participants had never seen this special wonder of the world.

Prior to the first game at the Meridian Centre, teams and fans were treated to a video that became a welcome start to every game as all countries were featured on a powerful clip created by Hockey Canada. The spectator support was truly amazing throughout the event, shattering all records and providing the players with support deserving of their abilities. Team Canada was thrilled and inspired to play before a full house of enthusiastic fans. The gold medal final between Team Canada and Team USA went into overtime and will go down in history as a classic showcase of Female Hockey talent.
