Helmets and Facial Protection:
Please note that Canadian Adult Recreational Hockey Association (formerly the Canadian Oldtimer's Hockey Association) Rule 24 (b) requires that all players wear CSA approved helmets with chinstraps fastened. This applies when players are on the ice, even during warm-ups, and also on the bench. Facial protection is not mandatory, however, when a face protector is used, Rule 24 (d) states that any face protector be CSA certified and securely fastened to the helmet so as not to cause an injury to the player or any other player.

Sad News: It is with great sadness that I bring news of Don Kitchen’s passing on November 10th. Don turned 80 in early October and was a player in our league for many years up until this fall when illness forced him to retire. Anyone who knew Don, knew him as a true gentleman and a great competitor that knew how to have fun. Don enjoyed his hockey and he usually played 2 or 3 times a week plus tournaments! Don also organized many tournaments so others could compete, enjoy the game, and have a get-together after for all of the players. Don will be greatly missed.
