SPIRIT OF HOCKEY

This season is marking the beginning of an award that will be presented annually within Marystown Minor Hockey Association. This award is named the “Spirit of Hockey Award” and will be presented each year with the help of coaches and directors and final votes coming from our Executive. This year, we were given a number of nominations from the whole association and we had some very good feedback and some excellent stories and comments about a lot of our players. One of the winners of this award for this season is from the Under 15 Female Division. The nomination that was presented to us regarding our recipient is as follows:

The player that I would like to nominate in the Bantam Division is a first year Bantam player. I have seen him play since his first year starting hockey. He wasn’t always the strongest player on the ice but he would never give up. He is an all-around sportsman, always shows a good attitude towards teammates, coaches and officials. He continues to improve and hardly ever misses a practice. It doesn’t matter if he’s winning or losing, he goes out and gives it his all. He just has a love of the game. As long as he can get out on the ice and play hockey with his buddies, that’s all that matters. Not everyone can make the all-star team, and unfortunately, this year our recipient never made it but it didn’t discourage him from playing. He is an alternate for the team always attend practices and games when he can. He rarely misses a practice and he continues to drive to be the best player that he can be.

Emily is a first year under 15 female player that brings her love and enthusiasm for the game to each and every practice. She is coachable and displays a positive attitude towards coaching staff and players alike. Her smile and love for the game is infectious; she arrives and leaves each hockey hour with a smile on her on her face and laughter. Emily is a very hard worker and gives 100% at practice. During games, Emily works hard on the ice and can be heard cheering loudly for her team mates while waiting patiently for her next shift. In the dressing room, she contributes to the song and dance and the “good laughs”, all important to team building, respecting players, and the spirit of the game. When considering nominations for the award, we were able to hear more stories about Emily and her dedication to the game. Emily is an active player in the U15 Female house league division but also decided to spread her cheer and hockey skills to the U15 Female TeePees team. When attending tournaments, Emily is active within her team there but always close to the Mariners and cheering them on loudly!

Canadian Tire Supports Local Minor Hockey Association

Marystown Minor Hockey Association is the local association based out of the Kaetlyn Osmond Arena.  MMHA has always been successful overall in game play on the ice but also very lucky to have the financial support of local businesses that sponsor the program.

Canadian Tire proven in the recent years to be a proud supporter of the local minor hockey program.  They have been a sponsor for the Novice Division and a team sponsor in both the Peewee Division and the U12 Female Division.  Along with this support, local Canadian Tire Store owner, Josselin Ares wanted to do a little bit more.  Ares contacted members of the MMHA Executive to ask what was needed most, he really wanted to show support to the Association as a whole starting from the grassroots where the majority were able to benefit.

With our younger players, part of the grassroots program, being in need of some goalie equipment.  Younger players that want to give the position a try for the first time without the added expense of goalie gear.  Canadian Tire Owner, Josselin Ares,  presented MMHA President Jack Brenton with 4 sets of goalie gear for younger players to use to try a position that they will hopefully grow to love.  On hand for the presentation was Novice Director, Jessica Reid and Novice goalies, Cody Slade, D’Arcy Drake, Ryan Evans & Brody Grondin.

Marystown Minor Hockey Association regularly acknowledges the support of local sponsors to the thriving success of the day to day running of the Association.  It is with such support that the Association can continue to run and give players the opportunities at a reasonable cost.  It is with much gratitude that the volunteers and players of MMHA extend their thanks to the Local Canadian Tire branch for its continued support.
