Thank You!
Last weekend Port Stanley Minor Hockey Association hosted our Annual Memorial Tournament.  For those who may not be familiar with this tournament. This tournament started in 2015 as the Greg Pratt and Ron Johnson Memorial Tournament. 

In 2019 it was re-branded to the Port Stanley Minor Hockey Association Memorial Tournament and would then also honour Matt Moyes, and Disco Dave Johnstone.  Greg, Ron, Matt and Dave all contributed their time and were proud members of the PMSHA community.  We are forever grateful for them and their contributions to help make Port Stanley hockey what it is.  Their dedication and legacy will continue to live on through this Memorial tournament and in the hearts of many at the arena and on the ice.

 

On behalf of myself, the PSMHA Executive and our entire organization, we would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to the following individuals, community members, community groups, businesses and Families.

PHD-Progressive Hockey Development
PHD offers professional instruction to players that are looking to raise their game to the next level. The first program of its kind in the area, PHD uses cutting edge training and teaching methods to push players outside their comfort zone. PHD provides the progressive platforms players require to reach for the highest levels of performance and technique. Mike Ellis Bio Owner, Founder and Head Instructor Progressive Hockey Development Mike is an experienced and focused individual with a real passion for skating and skill development in today's fast paced game. Mike has played and coached against top hockey nations throughout Europe and has absorbed and developed many teaching techniques that he shares with all athletes he works with. As a coach an instructor Mike believes in detail and technique. He believes the old theory of 10,000 repetitions to master a skill can be drastically reduced through delivering a detailed progression based plan and providing the right information to the athlete. This higher level of detail helps the athlete to absorb the information with more focus.
