MOUNT PEARL MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION

About Mount Pearl Minor Hockey

The Mount Pearl Minor Hockey Association was founded in 1975 to provide a game of hockey, either at the house league or the all star level, for the youth of the Mount Pearl area including the City of Mount Pearl and eventually the Southlands. We operate out of two arenas, the Glacier on Olympic Drive and the Smallwood Arena located at the Smallwood Complex off Smallwood Drive. Our offices are located at the Glacier Arena.

We are members of both the Newfoundland and Labrador Hockey Association, a branch of the Hockey Canada, and the Mount Pearl Sport Alliance, an association formed to enhance sports within the City of Mount Pearl. As a member of these groups we adhere to the Fair Play policy of Hockey Newfoundland and Labrador and the proposals of the Ethic in Sports policy created by the Sport Alliance.

Our philosophy is to develop a positive tradition of hockey pride in our community, province and country that encourages fitness, socialization, teamwork, self confidence and hockey development in an environment that promotes fun, respect, fair play and sportsmanship without intimidation or

criticism.

A Message from the Mount Pearl Referee Association

As President of the Mount Pearl Referee Association, we would like to take this opportunity to extend a welcome to the upcoming minor hockey season in the City of Mount Pearl. Minor hockey in Newfoundland and Labrador continues to grow and with that growth comes a need for officials. The Mount Pearl Referee Association is focused and committed to providing quality officiating to the citizens of our great City.

It is our associations goal to provide opportunities to both young and old alike, and to maintain the quality of service that we have provided to Minor Hockey in the City for over 40 years, and to provide all officials with greater opportunities within the program.

There are many reasons to get involved in the officiating program:

1. It provides the opportunity to learn more about hockey
2. It provides extra skating and ice time outside of your regular playing times
3. It is a great way to earn some extra money while having fun
4. It is a great way to meet new and interesting people
5. It develops excellent communication and interpersonal skills
