Hockey... For the Fun of It!

2009/2010 Ice Schedule Now Available!

Looking for Volunteer Hours??

If you are a high school student or happen to know a high school student looking for volunteer hours, Minor Hockey could use your help. As a fundraising activity grocery receipts are collected from Valu-Mart. The total amount of the receipts needs to be added up before we can return them to the store. An ideal job for students.

If you are interested please contact our Fundraiser Chair, Kerri McQuigge (613)589-9758

IP Fun Day!!

DRAMHA is hosting an IP Fun Day on Sunday January 24, 2010. It will run from 10:00 am to 1:50 pm. The cost is $225 and a kitchen will be run upstairs.

For more information please contact Julie Miller @ jcarla17@hotmail.com

Volunteers Needed!

The 2009/2010 season is approaching. DRAMHA is looking for parents available to take on a volunteer role as team Trainer, Coach or Assistant Coach. Participating as part of your child's team is a rewarding experience, and doesn't need to involve a huge commitment or a lot of your time. The more people who step up to volunteer, the lighter the workload. If you are interested in participating in a formal capacity with DRAMHA as a Coach, Trainer or Assistant Coach, please contact any executive member.

A coaching application form is available as a .pdf or .doc.
