Dear Members of the Lasalle Minor Hockey Association:
At this holiday season, I would like to take the time and say thank you the parents and caregivers for your continued support to keep our kids on the ice! It’s your time and effort that keeps our young players out on the ice with their teammates, practicing and playing games for the sport they love. It makes all of the hard work worthwhile!
We would not have hockey without all the Coaches, On-Ice Helpers, Game Officials, LMHA Board Members, other volunteers and arena staff and the staggering number of hours you give to support the activities of the LMHA. Thank you for everything that you do! LaSalle hockey maintains a healthy participation level, and we wish to honour the game by honouring the whole purpose about why we are here – to make a better community and provide young people a healthy activity where they can have fun while learning our great game!
As we move into the New Year, let’s remember that as in all parts of our lives, we should treat others as we would like to be treated. Please remember the 24-hour rule and that everyone here is a volunteer.
Be reminded of the ROOTS program, a program where we aspire to be role models for our children. The ROOTS banner is posted at Rink B as a reminder of our core values and philosophy:
ROOTS
Respect the Rules
Respect for Officials
Respect for Opponents
Respect for Team
Respect for one’s Self
We wish all teams that are taking part in tournaments over the holidays much success both on and off the ice. On behalf of myself and the LMHA Board of Directors, we would like to wish all of you a very happy and healthy holiday season! Stay safe and stay well!
Sincerely,
Don Durham
President, LMHA
