To our Community,
I just wanted to take a moment to address the exciting announcement of a NPHL Senior Men’s team playing out of the Orono Arena and Community Centre.
Thank you to the players of the 1st Orono Oldtimers hockey team, who have graciously given up some of their long term booked ice slots to accommodate this opportunity. This has allowed the OAAA to move our youth teams into earlier time slots, so the NPHL team can start at 8pm on selected Saturday’s and utilize additional ice that is generally left open due to the time of night. Rest assured, no ice that is normally used by the OAAA or OFSC is being used for these games.
Each year, our Board works tirelessly to ensure that the focus always remains on providing sports development for our community’s children and youth. Thank you to the board for truly thinking this through will diligence over the last few months.
Looking forward to our 2025/2026 season.
Yours in Hockey
Rhonda Mercer
President
