This is a fun time of year for hockey playoffs, especially for our Bantam A1, Midget A1 , and Midget A2 boys as they enter this weekend competing in their Final Four tournaments to earn a spot in their respective BC Hockey Provincial Championships.

Bantam A1-T2 will be in North Delta this weekend and Midget A2-T3 in North Surrey for their respective contests but Midget A1 is hosting the Tier 2 Final Four games right here in Port Moody. Come down to the rink on Friday @ 6pm, Saturday @ 615pm and Sunday @ 645pm to show your support and Panther pride.

Good luck to all three teams this weekend!

I’ll tell ya why you should go…

Recognition of Achievements
Come find out who won and cheer on and celebrate the recipients of the PMAHA Achievement Awards and team banners. And although Sharron hasn’t asked me to put one together yet, the year-in-review slideshow is always a hit. Call for nominations and slideshow photos will be going out soon so stay tuned!

Get Informed
The purpose of the AGM is to give its members a report on the association’s activities and finances for the previous season, and to allow time for members to ask questions. It is the perfect place to address the association on association-related matters. Come be part of the process.

Executive Board Renewal
There are many reasons why someone would volunteer for the exec. For me, it was a chance to give back to a group that has given me and my 3 kids the experiences that we will remember for the rest of their lives. I am very proud of this exec group but there is always room for new perspective. I ask you to find your reason why you will step forward and reach out to Sharron directly (president@pmaha.com). The following positions are up for re-election:
- President
- 2nd VP
- Treasurer
- Risk Manager
- Communications Manager
- Coach Coordinator
- Ice Coordinator
- Tournament Coordinator

The AGM is in the Inlet Theatre on Thursday, April 26 at 6pm. See you all there.

Registration for Port Moody Lacrosse is closing in the next few weeks and we would like to invite any Port Moody Hockey family to join us and be eligible for a $25 discount per player.

Lacrosse is a very community oriented sport so if you know parents already registered with Port Moody Lacrosse you can combine this with the PMAHA referral and they will receive a $50 rebate off their registration fees also.

Sign-up now via http://www.portmoodylacrosse.org/registration.html

Lacrosse is a great alternative or addition to Spring Hockey for your player, the short Box season runs from April thru June and is great for cardio, building character and teamwork. The two sports go stick in hand – your helmet and shoulder pads from hockey will also transfer across. No prior experience is required to start to play at any age from 5+, boys & girls are both welcome (female-only teams are formed from age 9). Goalies – all equipment is provided free of charge!

If you don’t believe us, here is a short video of Wayne Gretzky with Ron McLean talking about how hockey players should play box lacrosse to improve their hockey training…
