RINK IMPROVEMENTS
Freezing in the Arena? We are too :(
Our Board has contacted City of Mississauga staff
to request rink improvements, and to push for a
new arena. As 4 Rinks was obtained as a private
purchase it was never designed for public use.
The City doesn't currently have capital funds for a
massive rebuild, but they will soon provide some
accessibility and safety improvements. City staff
will also start the discussions to begin the
planning/design/budget process for a new
building! It will take several years, but it's coming
We're sure you're as excited as we are!
Meadowvale Minor Hockey
Association will be celebrating our
40th anniversary next year. Stay
tuned for exciting details! As the
largest minor hockey association in
the MHL, we're proud of our
success. Our organization is run by
dedicated, caring and talented
volunteers who ensure that things
run smoothly. We thank our
Coaches, Mentors, Managers, Event
Assistants, Board Members, and
Sponsors who make all things
possible. At Meadowvale, hockey is
just the beginning. We love to pay-itforward and to make a difference!
We hope that your child is having a
fun hockey season. Your Board of
Directors welcomes your ideas and
involvement.
LOOK FORWARD TO:
* safety viewing panels for the
connecting arena doors
* replacement of all 4 rink entry doors
with glass sliding doors with sensors
or a push button entry (for kids with
heavy equipment, strollers, walkers,
canes, seniors etc.)
Fall 2017 - a new heating system!

G GOALIE CLINICS:
IIt's a wrap!
Meadowvale's 62 goalies enjoyed the
goalie clinics, and 5 Ice Puppys also
came out to the Goalie Clinics because
they loved playing goalie when it was
their turn and they wanted to learn
more! Thanks to Tracy Graham,
Programming Director & Team Shut Out.
Imagine going from a rep hockey player to being almost
paralyzed by a rare disease, undergoing 4 leg surgeries, and having
the guts to return battered and bruised to play hockey! We are
moved by the adversity and triumphs of our newest friend and
inspiration, 9 year old Hunter Barnhart.
Meadowvale Hockey is very proud of Atom Red ME051 Captain
David Boddy, whose empathy has meant so much to Hunter's
family. Read the full story in this Toronto Sun link.
