The Annual General Meeting was opened by President, Larry Moreland, who welcomed the members and thanked them for their tremendous efforts over the past season.

“In the 2022-2023 season, ALLIANCE Hockey began an overall review that we called our Reset. Many of you have been involved on Task Teams helping to piece the Reset together. Those of you who have provided your time and input on the Task Teams are helping to reshape how hockey will be delivered across all of the ALLIANCE,” stated President Moreland.

ALLIANCE Hockey was thrilled to have special guest and Hockey Equality Chairman, Anthony Stewart in attendance at the evening reception who provided important messaging that included a focus on inclusion and diversity.  Stewart reiterated that equality in hockey doesn’t begin with one person. There are numerous people who give, volunteer and act in their communities to make hockey an inclusive sport for all but there is still much work to be done.
ALLIANCE Hockey is committed to ensuring that there is diversity and inclusion in hockey and is grateful to Anthony for providing important information and guidance for our members.
