- Congratulations!
Please see a memo that is being sent to all teams, members, and Associations from Hockey PEI.
Please take a moment to review.
Please make sure this is communicated to all team members.
Hockey PEI has recently been made aware of a number of situations regarding verbal and physical taunts, insults, and generally inappropriate language and behavior, some of which is based on discriminatory grounds.
In light of what is occurring in the great game of hockey worldwide, we must remind you that there can be no tolerance in this sport for behavior that is ignorant, hateful or discriminatory. We urge you as Hockey PEI members and community leaders to set an example, as well as educate one another on the importance of respecting the game, including the respect of teammates, opponents and officials.
As a reminder, Hockey Canada Rule 9.2(f) reads as follows:
- Any player or team official who engages in verbal taunts, insults or intimidation based on discriminatory grounds (race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, language) shall be assessed a Gross Misconduct penalty.
- Notwithstanding the above, at the discretion of the Referee, a Gross Misconduct penalty may be assessed for any infraction to any player or team official.
Officials have been instructed to ensure that these penalties are being called on the ice with the appropriate progression of penalties applied.
Hockey PEI considers these matters incredibly serious. If Hockey PEI members are found to have violated this rule or valid complaints are submitted, disciplinary action may be taken by the Hockey PEI Discipline and Ethics Committee against any member. Disrespect of this magnitude will not be tolerated.
We ask that you circulate this information to your teams/members.
Mike Hammill
President, Hockey PEI

Hockey players in North River have even more access to the sport they love as New York Rangers Defenceman and Cornwall native Adam McQuaid has donated twenty-five sets of brand new hockey gear to the organization. This "All Can Play Fund" removes financial strain from any children and their parents who may not otherwise been able to play without the gear.
To receive a set, all parents have to do is contact NRMHA and fill out a form as it is on a needs basis. Sets will also be given to new hockey players who do not want to fully invest in a set of gear until they are committed to playing. The gear does not include a pair of skates or a helmet, so those must be provided by the player beforehand. The gear is then to be returned at the end of the season.
Adam McQuaid played all of his minor hockey years with North River Minor Hockey Association, including two years with the Cornwall Thunder Major Midget AAA team, prior to moving to Sudbury, Ontario to play Major Junior with the Sudbury Wolves of the OHL. As for the reason for his donation, McQuaid wanted to create a way for children to enjoy hockey and remove any barriers. He wanted to give back to his community and to the association that he grew up playing in.
The NRMHA Board are thrilled with this donation and would like to express gratitude to Adam for his continuous support of the organization.
