REGINA, Sask. – Hockey Saskatchewan held its 111th Annual General Meeting (AGM) virtually with the Board of Directors as well as Minor Hockey Association (MHA) representatives on June 20, 2023.

The agenda for the AGM included various topics such as acknowledgments, reports, financial statements, organizational procedures, and voting on bylaw amendments.

I look forward to working with the nine Board members and seeing what they and the Hockey Saskatchewan staff can achieve together in the proceeding seasons,” said Hockey Saskatchewan General Manager Kelly McClintock. “As we continue to make ground with the 2022-25 Strategic Plan with our Members, Hockey Saskatchewan will embark on a 112th season that will help share Canada’s wintertime sport and the power of recreation opportunities across the province.”

“We would like to extend our appreciation to the Member Associations for their invaluable support and promotion of amateur hockey throughout the province. The unwavering dedication of MHAs, volunteers, parents, athletes, and coaches has ensured that people across Saskatchewan have access to exceptional, safe, and inclusive sports experiences. Their commitment highlights the transformative power of hockey as more than a game.”

With former board director Jason Gordon completing his term, Hockey Saskatchewan extends its profound appreciation for his service and wishes him the best with all future endeavours.
