Life After Hockey - Congratulations Ms. Erin
The coaching staff has been so fortunate over the years to have been part of the lives of many great hockey players and simply wonderful young ladies.

Ms. Erin came to us as an import in 2017, staying with us for three full seasons, before moving onto our U22A program where she captained the team to a Provincial Gold. Although proud of all our graduating players accomplishments in life, after thirty-six years in emergency services, there is a special place in my heart for those who venture into Nursing, Paramedics and Policing careers.

Like Ms. Abbey (Paramedics), Ms. Ashley (Nursing), Ms. Madison (Paramedics), Ms. Meagan (Policing), Ms. Rachael (Nursing) and now yourself, as we have said over the years, there’s going to be a life after hockey that is a lot longer than your hockey life. Proud of all your accomplishments Erin.

On behalf of Billy, James, Kenny, Sarah and Tim, congratulations! Well done. Well deserved!

Sponsors
Timbits
The Timbits Minor Sports Program is a community-oriented sponsorship program for children four to eight years old who participate in local house league sports teams. The program's philosophy is not based on winning or losing - but on learning a new sport, making new friends, and just taking time out to be a kid. Tim Hortons currently sponsors over 200,000 children who play on hockey, soccer, lacrosse, t-ball, baseball and ringette teams across Canada and in the United States. Each sponsored team is supplied with Timbits Minor Sports jerseys or T-shirts. Timbits hockey teams are often given the opportunity to play on-ice scrimmages during intermissions at Junior, American Hockey League (AHL) and National Hockey League (NHL) games and do so with our own KITCHENER JR. A RANGERS. Tim Horton's once again sponsor's our 40 entry level HL teams this year.
McDonald's Restaurants
KMHA is proud to have McDonald's Canada in our stable of sponsors. This year, McDonald's is once again sponsoring our entire Boys Atom divions under their intiative, atoMc Hockey. Last Season, one of our Atom Teams was awarded lunch and a day with Stanley Cup Champion Drew Doughty of Los Angeles Kings!! Thanks McDonald's!
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada
Our friends at Toyota continue to support Kitchener Minor Hockey by returning as a House League Gold Sponsor yet again for this season. Toyota also sponsors the Toyota Challenge featuring teams from the region in competition and the opportunity to travel to Japan. The Toyota Hockey Challenge consists of round robin competition amongst top Kitchener, Waterloo & Cambridge teams, with the top two teams then competing in a one-game show down that will determine the team to represent the Tri-Cities in a once-in-a-lifetime cultural exchange to Japan. The team that wins the Toyota Hockey Challenge will travel to Hokkaido, Japan during March Break for a cultural exchange with the Tomakomai Allstars, all expenses paid by TMMC. Thanks Toyota!
