- SCGHA COVID UPDATE -

Dear Sabres families,

With the recent announcement that the City of Hamilton is moving into the Grey-Lockdown zone as of Monday March 29, 2021, the Executive has made the difficult decision to end the 2020-2021 season as of Monday March 29, 2021.

All practices currently scheduled for this weekend (March 26-28) will continue as planned. All future practices after this date will be cancelled and refunds will be calculated as of the closing date.

While this was not the way we wanted to end the season, with the uncertainty surrounding how long we will be in this zone, we felt this was the best course of action. We will be in touch again shortly regarding the refund process and amount.

We thank you all for your continued patience and support through this challenging year.

WHY I COACH

Over the past 30 years, if I’ve been asked once, I’ve been asked a 1000 times, why I have coached Women’s hockey.

At the age of 10 years old, I often went to rink with my idol, my father. At times, even when I wasn’t practicing or playing.

My Father, held the position of the President of the Stoney Creek Boys Hockey Association, prior to the Association becoming named the Warriors and he also held the position of head coach of the Bantam AA team. My Father was also a proud member of the Optimist Club that assisted in raising money for youth sports.

On one occasion, during the multiple car rides to the arenas, I asked my Father why he put so much time into the hockey organization and the Optimist Club. His answer to me was, “You owe it to your community to give back and when you give back, be passionate about it.”

He also went on to express passionately, that if he could make a positive difference in just one boy’s life, that his influence towards that boy, may go on to change the world and make it a better place.

Below is a video clip interview of a previous Sabres player that I have influenced as a coach back in 2014-15. She is currently playing for Mercyhurst, in the NCAA.

This is why I coach.
