Bantam Competitive Registration Deadline

Posted by Oceanside MHA at Jul 27, 2016 2:51PM PDT

Currently the number of players registered for our Bantam Competitive Division is below what is required to host a team.

As a result, OMHA is setting a deadline of August 10th for any player wanting the opportunity to try out and play in the Bantam Competitive Division. In the event that we still do not have enough players registered by the August 10th deadline to host a team, an option/s will be provided for those players who were registered before the August 10th deadline. Please note that the option/s will not be provided to any player who decides to register after the August 10th deadline.

OMHA remains hopeful that we will receive a number of registrations over the next couple of weeks and are able to host a team in the Bantam Competitive Division. However, we recognize that if we are not able to offer a program for those players registered that we will do our best to provide them with option/s to still take part in the Bantam Competitive Division. Having a registration deadline of August 10th will allow us time to arrange these option/s, if required.

With Deepest Regret

Posted by Oceanside MHA at Jul 15, 2016 6:32AM PDT ( 0 Comments )

July 14th, 2016

It is with sadness that we write to inform you that we have lost one of our association’s finest. Joseph Gerard Kinch (aka Big Joe) passed away on Saturday, July 9th after a brief battle with cancer. He was 61 years of age.

As some of you will know, Joe has been involved with OMHA since 2003 as one of our senior officials. Not only has he been instrumental in the development of our young on ice officials over the past 13 years, he has also been an inspiration and role model for many of our sons and daughters.

To honor and pay tribute to Joe, all of our on ice officials will be having “JK” memorial crests sewn onto their jerseys for the 2016/17 season.
Should any of our players wish to honor and pay tribute to Joe as well, they will be provided with a “JK” memorial sticker that can be worn on their helmet. These will be made available to all of our players when signing in for the upcoming season.

We offer our sincerest condolences to Joe’s family and friends and those of our members who were fortunate enough to have known him.

Sincerely,

​Andrew W. Copley, President
Oceanside Minor Hockey Association
