So many things in our daily lives have changed and the hockey we all grew up with is no different. As we work through these trying times, the OMHA will continue to work to provide a safe welcoming environment while making the hockey experience as enjoyable as possible. On behalf of the Board, we are working hard with our Associations to serve our hockey community and ensure the continued success of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association and our Member Associations. As today’s leaders in community sport, we must ensure the next generation of leaders shows the same passion for the game of hockey. We will focus on what makes the game so special – the friendships created that will last a lifetime and the life skills learned that carry far beyond the ice. The thousands of volunteers, no matter their part, dedicate countless hours every season to help deliver and grow the game in communities across the province. At no time in our history is this more evident. Our volunteers have stepped up during very trying times and made sure hockey, in whatever form it may take this year, goes on and creates a fun experience for all. We appreciate and value your contributions. I want to acknowledge the OMHA Board for their work this season and for stepping up when faced with this new adversity. The OMHA Board of Directors will do everything we can to return to tradition hockey as soon as we can safely do so. Please stay safe and support our players and communities as we slowly return to the game of hockey we all love.

Dramatic changes can be difficult especially after years working with a completely different model. The Board has adapted well. I believe there is a steady and positive progression throughout the Members. It gives me pleasure working as a team for the betterment of our participants and the game. Not only have we concentrated on governance, but we also continue to examine the rules and regulations that are necessary to provide and promote fun, safety and skill development. We must offer programs that respect those who play, coach, and officiate, as well as the many others involved both on and off the ice - our wonderful volunteers.
