RMHA 2023 Year-End Banquet – A Success

Ladies and Gentlemen,
On Sunday April 16, 2023 RMHA held is year-end banquet for the first time in 2 years and boy what an event it was. In the morning from 11am to 2pm we had the U7 and U9 teams and parents fill the hall with amazing numbers and happy faces. Everyone was treated to pizza, juice, chips and cookies at the beginning with the major awards and trophy presentations at the end. Throughout the day, players and coaches names were drawn for amazing prizes that were donated by our sponsors listed below. When I say we had A LOT of prizes, I am not even exaggerating. It was a mad rush to make sure all of the prizes were given away at the end. Huge thank you to the sponsors for all of that support. In the afternoon, from 3:30pm to 6pm walked in the U11 to U18 teams and parents with a very similar treatment. Still, A LOT of the prizes again for both players and coaches from our sponsors.
For both events, the winners of the RMHA major awards were announced and plaques handed out. Please join me again in congratulating the following people.

Jr. Volunteer of the Year	Hugo Dupuis & Max Desjardins-Arturi

Executive of the Year	Gen Arturi (Registrar)

Finally, I would like to wrap this up by sending another thank you to all of the parents, players and Volunteers of the RMHA family. There is no better feeling that seeing young players smiling faces at the rink and without all of you, it wouldn’t be possible. You make a positive difference in these kids lives everyday because they get to play hockey and that is the reason I do what I do.
Thank you so much everyone and we cannot wait to see you all next season.
