Saying Thanks To Hockey Volunteers

Tuesday, 26 February 2019 at 07:16

It's Thank A Volunteer Week at the Ontario Minor Hockey Association.

OXFORD COUNTY - The Ontario Minor Hockey Association is highlighting volunteers this week. 

You can submit your hockey volunteers from Oxford County online to receive an official thank your from the OMHA. Executive Director Ian Taylor says volunteers are what make minor hockey possible. 

“The OMHA considers volunteerism the backbone of our operations and without the commitment of time, effort and diligence, the association could not function with the efficiency it does today. This annual acknowledgement is just a small way to recognize their efforts and encourage others to share in that same passion.”

Taylor says they have created thank you profiles on their web site and you can submit anyone from Oxford County to be included in this as well. 

“By profiling these giving people, we hope to highlight their committed efforts, as well as demonstrate the related joy they get out of their work." 

Some volunteer statistics to consider:

- More than 30,000 people volunteer within the OMHA

- Contributions of time include coaches, trainers, managers, time keepers, fundraisers and administrators, with 13,500 coaches leading the way by percentage

- Ratio of volunteers to players is 1:3

- Total number of training modules/courses completed by volunteers: 22,250

You can submit your volunteer and watch the profiles online here.
