The Executive has selected Lakeridge Health - Our Cancer Campaign as the recipient of this year's fundraiser - Joe Smrke Memorial Fundraiser Tournament.

In keeping with the tradition that began as the Weekend for Bernie many years ago, it was an easy decision to continue our support of the valuable services that our Lakeridge Health Network provides us in Durham Region.
This year we are honoring the memory of Joe Smrke – a long time player and Rep in the League, who passed away this past summer.
Joe remains on the ice with us every weekend - as he designed the current logo we wear on our jerseys today.
Joe would be proud of the selection of this great cause. Many other players (past and present) and their loved ones have benefited by the terrific care provided by Durham Region Cancer Centre.
Since 2014 - the AOHL has raised $23,000 for various charities during our Tournament Weekend initiative, thanks to the very generous donations from the AOHL players.
Thanks in advance for your contributions again this year during our games the weekend of November 2nd and 3rd 2024.
