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.
