Happy Family Day to our Collingwood Minor Hockey Family!

On this special day, we want to take a slap shot at reminding everyone how lucky we are to be part of such a power play of a community. Whether it’s early morning practices, intense game days, or just chilling together between periods, the Collingwood Minor Hockey family is truly one of a kind.

We’re not just an association—we’re a team, and in this game of life, we’ve built something extraordinary. From the rink rats to the coaches, parents, and fans, we are a hat trick of talent, teamwork, and heart! We’ve got the goalies who block the bad days, the forwards who keep us moving forward, and the defense that supports us through thick and thin. No one does it better than us!

So, today, let’s take a timeout to appreciate all the love, laughter, and puckloads of memories we’ve shared. Whether it’s on or off the ice, our power play of support and passion is what makes our association unbeatable.

And don't forget, on Monday, February 17th, we’ll celebrate Family Day, a Canadian holiday honored in 5 provinces. It’s the perfect time to penalty kill stress and score some quality time with our loved ones!

Wishing you all a slap shot of happiness, a five-hole of fun, and a goal of quality time with your loved ones today. Here’s to many more hat tricks together!

Warmly,

CMHA
