U18 LL3 (Oro Thunder Minor Hockey)

Dear Thunder Families, Oro MHA is seeking dedicated and passionate individuals to join our Board of Directors for the 2025-26 season. We are currently looking to fill the following director positions:

Hello Thunder Families, The Oro Minor Hockey Annual General Meeting will take place on Sunday April 27th at 7:00 pm in the Banquet Room at the Oro Arena. Registration on the website is required to attend the meeting. We would like to invite all members of our Association to attend and recap the 2024/25 season and to ask questions or share concerns and new ideas.

Orillia MHA held their re-vote and unfortunately voted NO to the re-organization with Oro Minor Hockey. The vote was 62% in favor and not the 2/3 majority that was required, the vote was 5 votes short of passing. We would like to thank the members of our reorg committee that worked so hard to try to make this happen. This is disappointing news for our players and our Board will regroup and we will continue to find a way to grow minor hockey development for our players.

The annual lottery draw has been completed!!  Congratulations to all the winners!! Please reach out to [email protected] to provide your mailing address for the cheque to be mailed. The cheque will be issued to the name on the ticket stub, please email the treasurer if you have any concerns with this.

Team 1 and Team 2 travelled down to Oakville for a two day jamboree Family Day Weekend. This was a large event for the kids and parents. Both teams got to spend time together at the rink and in their hotels. They made great memories with their teammates. A jamboree of this caliber increased the kids development and love for hockey. Everyone had a great time. Both teams played extremely well and the parents were cheering very loud!   

We’ve just received news that Orillia Minor Hockey has filled most of its vacant board positions, achieving quorum. This is fantastic news, as it paves the way for Orillia Minor Hockey to proceed towards hosting a re-vote on the Rep Re-Organization on Sunday, February 23. We understand how frustrating the lack of information has been, but we prioritised providing factual details to our membership. Once the result of the Orillia re-vote is in and OMHA has reviewed the information we will provide an update to our membership when it is available.
