Our condolences to the family of Dave Reynolds from Napanee. Dave was at one time the Provincial Umpire in Chief and also at one time the President of the OASA. Dave was one of the great umpires in the area that helped me when I started out.

🚨 Hockey Parents & Coaches: We Need to Talk. This needs to be said. Young officials are skating off the ice in tears. They’re being yelled at, disrespected, and broken down—by you. These kids are giving their time and effort to officiate the game we all love, but the way they’re treated is driving them away. Without officials, there’s no game. Coaches, parents—we need to do better. The future of hockey depends on us showing respect, patience, and encouragement. Let’s teach our kids the right way to handle adversity, both on and off the ice. It’s time to be the example our game—and our kids—deserve. #RespectTheRefs #HockeyCommunity #BetterTogether #HockeyParents #HockeyCoaches

Last weekend at the OASA U11 East Qualifer in Frankford we had quite the gap in experience of our umpires.

Well done by all.

RIP fellow blue brother
