📣 Welcome to the 2025–2026 Port Stanley Minor Hockey Season! 🏒


Hi everyone – I’m Craig Sim, and I’m excited to introduce myself as the new President of Port Stanley Minor Hockey!

As we kick off a brand new season, I want to extend a warm welcome to all our players, families, coaches, and volunteers. Whether you're returning or joining us for the first time, thank you for being part of our hockey family.

 

At Port Stanley Minor Hockey, our top priorities are clear:

Creating a fun environment

Ensuring a safe experience

Promoting an inclusive space for players of all skill levels

 

We’re here to help kids grow through the game – building confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love of hockey. I’m incredibly proud to be part of an organization that puts community and development first.

 

To our coaches and volunteers – your time and dedication make this all possible. To our families – your support is everything. And to our players – we can’t wait to see you shine on the ice!

 

Let’s make this season one to remember.

— Craig Sim, President
