Happy to announce the 2019 Leo Boivin Showcase will take place in Morrisburg. Big thanks to our neighbours in South Dundas for accommodating us on short notice. See you in March in another old barn like the Leo!
Happy to be associated with a special group of hockey fans that care so much about the hockey community. Each year

raises $ from various sources to donate back to a local cause. This year $800 of those funds have been donated to the Humboldt GoFundMe campaign.
During the Final Flood we were proud to recognize Cardinal's very own Todd Gill and raise his number where it'll hang forever. Todd played over 1000 games and we are thankful he was able to be a part of the ceremony! Photo cred to our excellent photo guy

Ahead of the Leo Boivin Consolation final the Bears let me in to see young Shorsey Preston Veltkamp read the starting lineup for big bro Peyton's team.

Ontario is investing in a new, multi-use recreational centre in Prescott!
I'm proud to have championed this project, a new focal point for the community, which includes an ice pad w/800 seats on 2 sides, a walking track, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, community rooms & more!

Here we go folks.... the schedule for the tourney! The defending champs
@JrSensU18AAA
face the local RSL Kings to get us started for the weekend. And in a tournament first, every team gets at least 4 games.
For the players ending their minor hockey careers this weekend, enjoy the tourney. It's unlike any other and we hope you make memories to last a lifetime. And remember, be good to
@The_RowRules
What a weekend! Hard to put it into words but a huge thank you to all the teams, fans, and volunteers that made the 47th Leo Boivin Showcase a huge success.
With the hockey season coming to an end for SGMHA and many other local associations this weekend, want to give a stick tap to the players, coaches, and volunteers that powered through a season in tough circumstances 👍
Hats off to the Newmarket Redmen. A very strong AA team that knocked off 3 AAA teams before losing in the finals. A fan favourite that were cowinners of the Critics Choice Award! See you next year!

April 6th 2018, the world mourned for a hockey community after a horrific bus crash killed 16 members of the Humboldt Broncos injuring 13 More, A year later our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected, not a day goes by where we dont think of you all

Shout out to the first responders in Prescott. One of the best volunteer firefighter teams in the area. Thoughts are with the victims and their families today

Woke up this morning and the news still stings. Our beloved Leo Boivin arena is being shut down due to ammonia leaks. Feel bad for the hockey players, figure skaters, and small businesses who are going to be crushed as the biggest economic driver in the winter being closed.
This group of SGR players lost their teammate Dasan Munro 7 years ago in a tragic car accident. His memory lives on in this group and theyre wearing a DM8 patch on their jerseys to keep his memory alive. Great touch by the boys!
It's almost too bad someone had to lose that one. Markham and Smiths Falls went into a deep shootout after a 0-0 game with the Majors coming out on top to move onto the Championship semis tomorrow. Great game!
Today is the day folks.... the 49th Annual Leo Boivin Showcase kicks off with a Thursday night opener as our hometown RSL Kings take on OHA White. Puck drop at 6pm.

Whitby gets the 4-1 over Smiths Falls. Hometown kid Peyton Veltkamp scored a nice SH breakaway and was dominant on faceoffs for the Bears while picking up 2nd star. 👍
Congrats to the rest of our Skills Comp winners....Fastest Skater Dimello Smith-Markham...Top Goalie Rahul Bola from North York Rangers...Breakaway Shooter Tye Kartye from Kingston and Hardest Shot Adam Tripp from Kingston!

Guessing that when Jon Beers from

scored in the 3rd period of the Championship game in March, he had no idea it would be the last goal ever scored in the arena 😢

Helping to coach IP hockey this year and seeing the smiles and laughter each practice show just how important hockey and physical activity are to these kids. Hope we can all remain vigilant against COVID 19 to keep the rinks open for the kids.
OHA goes back to back!
A 1-0 win in OT over Upper Canada to win the Championship. A shame one of these teams had to lose. An incredible performance by both teams.

Congrats to tournament MVP Brett Hodgson from the Halton Hills Thunder! If someone knows him, tag him! He was also named to the tournament All star team.
Congrats to the Upper Canada Cyclones on their 2nd place finish.
It stings now but I hope you will come to appreciate it when the dust settles.
Some outstanding performances, including Labrash and Spicer who were both chosen to our All Star Team.
How about a hometown stick tap to our very own South Grenville Rangers. They battled hard against AA and AAA teams all weekend and were right there in the finals. Needed one more bounce. We made us all proud!

One of the best tweets we've ever received. The experience our Monitors get is one they'll never forget. These young lads grow up dreamung of playing in the tourney themselves one day!
