The AGM will be coming up and if anyone wants to take on the role of ULO then I will be happy to pass the role on. Junior Hockey is running from 6-7pm in June and July.

Update from Newmarket Hockey Club ULO We have an opportunity for support/coaching with Barry Anderson (to be arranged) in September. I […]
