FMHA launches new Ball Hockey league

Mar 09, 2016

Members of the Frontenac Minor Hockey Association have launched a brand new ball hockey league and have invited players to sign up. Games will commence in April at the Frontenac Community Arena in Piccadilly.

The new league will be open to youth aged 3-17 and will allow ball hockey players to play the sport closer to home, on their home turf at the Frontenac Arena. Since previously, many of them had been traveling to Kingston, this will be a much lesser expense.

President of the Frontenac Minor Hockey Association, Al Pixley, said that the association talked about starting up the activity last year, but was not able to due to a lack of volunteers. “This year, we had more volunteers stepping up and our executive pushed really hard to get the activity off the ground.”

He also credited Frontenac Community Arena manager, Tim Laprade, whom he said has been extremely generous in offering up the Frontenac Community Arena for use.

To date, over 150 players have already signed up and the deadline for registration is April 10, 2016. Play will commence on Sunday, April 24 at the Frontenac Community Arena in Piccadilly.

All proceeds from the FMHA's ball hockey will go towards purchasing new heaters at the arena.
