With several heat warnings declared this week, hockey season may seem a long way off yet. Board members of the Southern Shore Minor Hockey Association (SSMHA) however, are already gearing up for a great year.
The group held its annual general meeting (AGM) this June, and were able to fill a number of board positions up for nomination.
“We’re happy that individuals stepped up to fill those roles,” said SSMHA President Mark Sullivan. “We’re excited for this next season.”
The AGM also gives the board a chance to review the past season discipline by discipline.
“Everyone gives an update on how the season went, what some of the successes were, and what can be learned or what opportunities for improvement there are next season,” said Sullivan.
The association will also continue its long-standing relationship with Goulds Minor Hockey.
“It’s not an official merger, more like a quasi-merger,” said Sullivan. “We pool teams in many of our divisions, all of our divisions really, with the exception of U7 and U9. And the reason is to be competitive against the much larger metro associations.”
Both associations remain separate entities with their own boards of directors.
