| We are the North Leeds Minor Hockey Association.
Our association strives to provide the best possible
hockey experience for the children playing hockey in
North Leeds. Our primary concern is for our
children. Our association facilitates the enjoyment
of the hockey experience for our children by
providing a safe, bias and prejudice free
environment. We understand that hockey is first
and foremost a game. At a professional level it is a
business and at a minor hockey level it is pure
recreation for our children. The goals for running a
business are quite different from the goals of
running a minor hockey association. For a
professional, winning is everything. For minor
hockey winning is a consideration but is rarely , if
ever, the most important consideration ranking far
behind the objectives of fun, fair play and skills
development.
We have
the greatest respect for the many volunteers who help in
the coaching, training, management and officiating
of our game. Often these are thankless
positions with much of the excellent work going
unnoticed...but the upside greatly outweighs the
downside.
We are governed by rules, regulations, a
constitution and bylaws that apply equally and
fairly to all members, in all cases, without
exceptions. Rule violations are not a trivial matter
and will be dealt with quickly, effectively and
fairly.
