The Ontario Ball Hockey Association is proud to announce the inception of the Bradford Minor Ball Hockey League. Beginning in Summer 2010, the Bradford program will be spearheaded  by current Richmond Hill Program Director, Marco Mariani. Marco has dedicated the past five years to growing the Richmond Hill program from 90 players to over 400 players this summer of 2009. Marco’s current program is regarded as one of the most highly organized and fun leagues operating in the OBHA. He has dedicated many hours to the sport, most of them as a volunteer and continues to foster youth development and fair play with innovative ideas and structured programs.

The Bradford Minor program will take place at the Bradford & District Community Centre. At this time dates and times have yet to be determined. The inaugural season will commence in late April of 2010 and run through to early July.

All participants will be provided with a full uniform including Jersey, Shorts, and Socks. Further to that; annual awards, and picture day will also be part of the registration package. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements regarding registration. Flyers will be distributed in schools in December 2009, and online registration will be available January 2010. All age groups will have an all-star chosen to represent Bradford at the provincial championships, which are held annually. Parents and players will be asked to vote on the clubs name…..perhaps the Bradford Bulldogs!

There is presently much speculation as to the impact that the H1N1 virus will have on Canadians over the next few months. Organizations have been urged to stress to their members steps that should be taken to prevent the spread of the virus, and to have plans in place to alleviate any hardships that may come of the spread of H1N1.

The New Year is upon us and it’s that time of year to put down the winter gear and get ready for some exciting spring Ball Hockey action. Pick up your hockey stick and get your running shoes laced up to play in your local arena.
