The Northern Ontario Hockey Association, in conjunction with the Schumacher Day Minor Hockey Association and the Schumacher Cubs Midget Hockey Team, is pleased to announce that the 2014 Midget “A” Ontario Hockey Federation championships will be hosted by the local Schumacher Cubs. This provincial championship will take place in our community the weekend of April 10th – 13th, 2014.
The tournament is a three day event that produces the provincial Midget “A” champions. The championship takes place at the conclusion of the hockey season, with five teams participating.
The participating teams include representatives from the Greater Toronto Hockey League, the Ontario Minor Hockey Association, the Northern Ontario Hockey Association and ALLIANCE. The fifth team is the host team.
From business and tourism standpoints, this is great news for the City of Timmins as it will generate revenue for our local hotels, restaurants, and other retail establishments.
It is our hope that the community will su
pport the association in putting on a first class tournament as well as coming out to cheer on the local boys.
