TIMBIT JERSEY DRAFT EVENTS

This is always a special day for all the Timbits and their families. The draft dates will be announced for early October. As our Timbit Minor Hockey players take off their practice jerseys for their Timbit Team jersey, we cheer them as they took the next step to "being part of the most fun you can have in hockey!" What happens here is just another step they will take. The first step was getting on to the ice for the first time. They will all continue to develop the "FUN"damentals of hockey and learn to love the game as we all do. Through the season, many more important strides will be taken. Learning sportsmanship. Learning team play. Making new friends. These will be cherished moments in these young athletes lives.Memories that will last a lifetime for the players, their families and friends and the coaches and volunteers of the ELLGHA Timbit Minor Hockey Program.
We want to thank our local Tim Horton franchise owners, the volunteers and staff of ELLGHA, our friends of hockey volunteers, and especially the Timbits and their families for being part of this FUN time.
