Back To Hockey!
We’re back! After a great summer, I’m always excited this time of year because it means that hockey season is ramping up! We have a lot of momentum in Richmond Hill and lots to be excited about.

I’m pleased to share an update with all of you as we kick-off the season. 

House League has momentum     

We are very encouraged and pleased to share that registration for House League has increased this season. Our evaluation skates were well attended. Our teams are balanced, placement letters went out late last week, and our players are ready to hit the ice!

There continues to be strong interest in the game, and Richmond Hill will continue to offer programing. We are exploring some partnerships with Stouffville and Aurora Minor Hockey at some age groups, which should help make for a fun experience for our players.  Please keep checking the website as these schedules are being updated as the interlock season approaches.

Mary Parkinson Memorial tournament hosts hundreds of teams

Hundreds of hockey teams were in Richmond Hill as part of the Mary Parkinson Memorial Hockey Tournament at the AA and A level. Interest and attendance at these early season tournaments is growing. Our own Jaguar teams competed in all age and talent groups.

Great news, our U15AA team won the tournament and many teams did very well. The new open borders policy has now been tested for the first time. As expected, there was a decent amount of movement and it will take a few years to settle. I am confident in the quality of our program and what we have to offer. What we’re seeing so far is that many more players are choosing to stay in Richmond Hill and we’re attracting others, compared to those who are leaving to play elsewhere.

Office Team

We are very pleased to welcome Cory Woron to our office team. Cory spent more than two decades on-air as commentator at TSN. He’s also served on the board with the Markham Waxer organization and has been involved in minor hockey for a long time. Cory joins the team alongside Nick Solakis and Theresa Bianchi.

 

I’m looking forward to a fun season in Richmond Hill. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or comments. We’re here for you and together we will grow the game in Richmond Hill.

 

Sincerely,

Steve Ley

President

Richmond Hill Hockey Association
