The EGMHA Hockey 4 Hunger program was established in 2007 by parents to teach our players in the association the importance of “giving back” to the community with something many of us take for granted – FOOD! Over 13 years, the Hockey 4 Hunger fundraiser has generated over 144,000 LBS of non-perishable items to donate our local food banks.  Last season due to Covid-19, we ran the fundraiser virtually for the first time and were able to raise $8,100 for our local food banks!

The Town of East Gwillimbury has shared with that as of today, there is a new Covid Active Screening Tool that they will be using. Everyone entering a town facility will be required to screen shot or print the approval and show it to facility screener staff when you enter the EG Sports Complex.

We have been fortunate to have a good start to our hockey season, however we are having continued issues with some members not adhering to the protocols put in the place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.   Please see the letter from the Town of East Gwillimbury and EGMHA reminding members of the requirements and potential consequences of not following the protocols.

The EGMHA is pleased to announce that goaltender skill development sessions will start this Saturday October 16 from 9-10 am and will occur most Saturdays until March (please confirm with the EGMHA calendar for the specific dates).    There will be no charge for these sessions and they are open to all goaltenders of all ages and divisions.    We hope that as many of our goaltenders as possible take advantage of these sessions.
