Government Shutdown Jan 5, 2022 at 12:01am
Hi Everyone,

Hoping everyone had a great Christmas spent with family!

I just wanted to send an update in regards to the Government press conference which happened yesterday, Monday Jan 3, 2022. 

As of Wednesday, January 5th, at 12:01am, we will have a pause on programming until January 27th as per the current and most recent release from the Provincial Government announcement.  See full details here: 

Return-to-play framework for professional and elite amateur sport leagues and events | ontario.ca

We are hopeful and anticipate that on January 27th, we can make a full return, and continue on with the remainder of the hockey season.   As always, when we hear something we will do our best to communicate to everyone in a timely manner.

The development that was scheduled for the month of January will re-start once we return, to ensure nothing gets missed.

Watch the STMHA.net website for details closer to the week of January 27th.


Please stay safe and do your part wherever possible!

Mark REID Memorial Fund
Mark participated in minor hockey in St Thomas as a child. His love of the game continued throughout his life. In his memory, a fund has been created, providing annual funding to offset costs to those in need. Those children selected will in turn get an opportunity to participate in minor hockey in St Thomas, and experience the same enjoyment from our great game as Mark did. To apply: speak to Vicki in the STMHA office.

Talbot Trail Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a specialized profession in health care whose primary goal is to assist people with restoring, maintaining and maximizing their strength, function, movement, and overall well-being. They assess and treat all conditions related to bone, muscle and joint problems. At Talbot Trail Physiotherapy all of our physiotherapists are registered which means they are members of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.

atoMc - McDonalds Canada
In keeping with a 40-year heritage, McDonald’s Canada is proud to support minor hockey in communities across the country, by offering young players a unique opportunity to build their sense of teamwork and focus on the joy of playing.
Tim Hortons
Timbits Hockey is a community-oriented sponsorship program that provides opportunities for kids aged four to nine to play minor hockey. The philosophy of the program is not based on winning or losing, but on learning a new sport, making new friends, and just being a kid.
True Sport
The True Sport Principles are a rallying point for True Sport members — they are universal. The principles can be brought to life in any sport at any level, from playground to podium. An Olympic rowing squad can embrace these principles with the same sense of pride and purpose as an elementary school, an old-timers' league, or a community hockey arena. For sport to be truly good and have the opportunity to make the greatest difference, all seven of these principles need to be in play at all times, working in perfect balance with one another.
