The Executive has selected Lakeridge Health - Our Cancer Campaign as the recipient of this year's Weekend for Bernie fundraising event.

https://ourcancer.ca/about-the-campaign/our-cancer-campaign/

In keeping with the tradition which began the Weekend for Bernie, it was an easy decision to continue our support of the valuable services that our Lakeridge Health Network provides us in Durham Region. 

This is in memory of the recent passing of Mickey McCue - a long-time AOHL player who passed away this past summer. 

We also dedicate this to Brad Elliott’s (former secretary) ongoing battle with cancer.

Since 2014 - the AOHL has raised $16,450 for various charities during the Weekend for Bernie 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 5th and 6th 2022.

 It is with great sadness to inform you that Bill Willett passed away unexpectedly at home this past Thursday March 31, 2022.

Bill just joined the League this year and was on Magwyers.    Although Bill only joined the league this year, many players around the League knew him outside the rink.

On behalf of the League – our heartfelt condolences to his brother Ross Willett (Noble), Jim O’Hara (Magwyers; cousin and close friend) and all that had the opportunity to be a part of Bill’s life.

Due to the rapidly increasing rate of Covid in the area, along with the increased exposures through social and family gatherings (both recent and continuing through New Years) , the AOHL Executive have decided to cancel all games for Sunday January 2^nd.    

Our  healthcare systems are overburdened; it is a challenge to get tested; and the disruption to affected players and their families in the case of a COVID exposure can be quite challenging.          

The Executive will meet again on January 6^th for a decision on games for January 9^th.     

We hope that everyone has had an enjoyable Holiday Season so far and we wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Stay Healthy. Socialize responsibly.

CARHA Hockey's insurance policy is a defense policy, which means if legal action is taken against you (from a hockey standpoint), then the policy would be in effect and protect you. Providing the claim fell under the parameters of the policy for a liability claim (not a criminal act, by example), then your legal fees and any payout would be covered by the insurance. It's important to note that this waiver does not affect the insurance provided to you with your membership.
