Our association AGM was held Saturday, April 29th at the Newmarket Community Centre. Thank you to those association members who attended. This year's AGM was particularly exciting as we recognized our U14AA and U16AA OMHA Champions and our U10BB and U11AA York Simcoe Champions.
It was also bittersweet as we said goodbye to our long time Office Administrator, Patricia Thibault. We thank Patricia for her year's of service and wish her much happiness in retirement.
Cathy Kopsala was announced as our new Office Administrator and brings a wealth of knowledge from her years working with the East Gwillimbury Hockey Association.
