Congrats to our 2020 Arnold Maisey Tournament Winners
Congratulations to our 2020 winners!
This year's Arnold Maisey was a great success despite the weather. After much deliberation we decided to change the format so that we could have a two day tournament, thus avoiding the storm on Friday. Thanks to all the teams, volunteers, officials, city employees and sponsors that made it all possible in such a short period of time.
HNB Female Hockey Clinic
The RNMHA will be offering an all female hockey clinic for all atom and peewee aged players this Saturday (February 15th) at 5pm at the Dalhousie arena. A strong showing we will allow us to offer weekly clinics until the end of the season.
Our long-term goal with this clinic is to promote and increase female participation within our association and potentially forming an all girls peewee team next season.
Thanks to Our Minor Hockey Ticket Sponsors!!
Thanks to all our sponsors for supporting minor hockey and provided awesome prizes for this year's tickets. We couldn't do with without you!!
RIP Eric Cook
We are sad to announce the passing of Eric Cook. Eric was well known for having a big heart and for being a gifted athlete who spent a lot of time playing hockey at the local rinks over the years. We'd like to extend our deepest condolences to family and friends.
We are both honoured and humbled that the family has asked for donations in his memory to be made to any minor hockey association or the SPCA.
Online 50/50 draw!
The RNMHA is proud to announce the launch of our online 50/50 draw. We will be doing a weekly draw with the first one ending on Friday, December 13. Support minor hockey by buying your tickets today at https://rnmha.thelottofactory.com and sharing with family and friends!!
Help us find a cool slogan/hashtag!
We are about to place a clothing order for the association: hoodies and long-sleeve T-shirts. Instead of having the usual logo, we are looking for a slogan or hashtag that could represent the Vikings spirit.
As an example, the DRHS Condors in Dalhousie uses the hashtag #condorhustle (see pictured), and apparently it's very popular with the kids. We thought it was a very cool idea and it's simple to print.
Please go to our Facebook page and submit your idea in the comments. The winner gets a free hoodie, and bonus points for any bilingual submissions!!
Hockey Development Weekend
This upcoming weekend, on November 2-3, is the annual Hockey Development Weekend. Our technical staff has worked hard to make this a fully filled weekend for our kids and coaches. Notably on the calendar:
Bantam & Peewee Rec Goalie Situation
We currently have a goalie shortage within the minor hockey association for both the Peewee and Bantam Rec divisions. With no obvious answers presenting themselves so far we think that it's important to reach out and be upfront with everyone.
Clarification of payment policy
There has been some questions about how we are processing payments during our registrations. We hope this clarifies our policy.
Our policy going forward
As of now, anyone registering with the Association needs to have payments for registration in order before a child steps on the ice. This means that, as stated in the constitution, you need:
