1. Welcome
On behalf of the Oshawa Girls Hockey Association executive and our Tournament committee,
I would like to welcome you to our community and wish everyone the best of luck in our 13th
Annual Fall Classic Hockey tournament. I would like to say “Thanks!” to the families and friends
who come out to support the players. I would also like to thank our local businesses and vendors
that offer their support to Oshawa Girls Hockey. If you are able to visit these sponsors during your
stay, our Hockey community would very much appreciate it.
During this tournament, we all look forward to seeing a great display of skill, competition and
teamwork in the true spirit of fun and good sportsmanship. This is a tremendous opportunity not
only for the younger players to see what Hockey has to offer, but also for the older players to be
role models and to demonstrate that Hockey really is the ultimate team sport!
We have plenty to offer over our tournament weekend, including a special Friday Night team
building event. In conjunction with the tournament, the Oshawa Generals of the Ontario Hockey
League will open the 2012-2013 season with their HOME OPENER on Friday, September 28th
starting at 7:35 PM vs. the Peterborough Petes at the General Motors Centre.
Check out our tournament maps for directions to these venues and don’t hesitate to ask any of
our volunteers, for directions or advice on where to eat, get skates sharpened or where to go
shopping, they will be happy to help.
We wish everyone a safe and successful Tournament.
Yours in Hockey,
Melody Sutton,
President
Oshawa Girls Hockey Association

3. Safety
We strongly encourage all teams visiting the tournament to have an emergency plan in place and
to remember to restock your trainers and first aid kits.
For your own safety and the safety of your trainers, should a player be injured during a game,
please wait until the official stops the play before entering the ice surface.
In the event of a serious injury, please notify the arena staff and the tournament official
immediately. Players requiring a hospital will most likely be taken to Oshawa General Hospital.
The hospital is located at: 1 Hospital Court, Oshawa, ON L1G 2B9 tel: 905-576-8711.
3.1 Concussions
In the event a player suffers a concussion or if you feel that your player may have suffered a
concussion, please exercise extreme caution and have your player seen by a doctor immediately
and rest them for the remainder of the tournament. Concussions are traumatic brain injuries
and are to be taken very seriously. In addition, most concussions are deemed by players or
parents as “non-injuries” and go unreported….so even if the symptoms aren’t severe or serious,
please complete an accident report and submit it.
