PRESIDENT'S PAGE

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Robert Day and I am the President for the Credit Valley Wolves Minor Hockey Association. It gives me great pleasure on behalf of our Executive to extend a warm and hearty welcome to all players, officials, parents and friends that will be participating in the upcoming hockey season. We trust that the competition will be exciting, challenging and enjoyable with the finest level of sportsmanship. To each individual player we wish success, have fun, play hard, play fair and play to the best of your ability.

This website is one of the many means by which we communicate with our parents, players and volunteers. Information is updated regularly, so please visit us frequently. Our website continues to evolve as we try to make it an effective communication tool to provide information to you and our players more quickly and also to provide visitors with a broader sense of what Credit Valley hockey is all about. It is our hope that after learning what we are about, visitors will want to become a member of our organization. As with everything we do here at Credit Valley, as an organization we are open to feedback on how we can do things better. Please contact me presidentcvw@rogers.com or contact any of our executive listed on our website with your comments or suggested improvements.

Our goal at the Credit Valley Minor Hockey Association, is to deliver a successful year of grass-roots minor hockey focused on fitness, fun and friendship and not distracted by the politics, economics and other issues that take away from the enjoyment that we know that the game can and should provide. We also recognize the high cost of hockey and we will strive to return great value to our players and families. Our goal is to deliver an experience where parents will leave the rink convinced that their $4 admission was their best purchase of the week!

The Credit Valley organization is involved in minor hockey to pursue the development of youth, not solely as hockey players, but as people, sharing core values of commitment, discipline, professionalism, work ethic, teamwork, sharing, growing, mutual respect, integrity, loyalty and fun. We hope to bring back this philosophy and instil in those who wish to be part of our organization the desire to give something back as well. We hope to directly influence the sport in a positive way:

We believe in teaching kids mutual respect applied equally to officials, coaches, parents, team mates, their opponents, and for themselves. Winning and sportsmanship are not mutually exclusive.

The support of dedicated volunteers will always be the key to our success. As a not-for-profit organization we rely on sponsors, sponsorships, fundraising and the generosity of individuals to financially support our programs. The efforts of these individuals giving countless hours of energy and time collectively helps build a strong organization that in turn raises stronger citizens. It takes many people contributing their personal time to make Credit Valley an organization that we can all be proud of. We encourage our parents to become involved in the association as attentive parents and as volunteers. The backbone of our association is our volunteers who give generously of their time in many capacities. If you are interested in getting involved this season please contact anyone on our Executive to discuss the many ways you can be of assistance to our association. The organization welcomes sponsorship contributions. For additional information please send us an e-mail at: info@creditvalleywolves.com.

Our current executive personnel have exceptional credentials and are very well equipped to guide, support and prepare your young athletes. The Credit Valley Wolves hockey organization offers two programs – House League and Rep 'A' . In all our programs we seek a healthy balance in hockey and life, because hockey is only part of one’s life, it’s not the rest of one’s life. It is a privilege for players’ and coaches’ to represent the Wolves. We expect them to be ambassadors for the game.

We try to teach players to:

One of my goals is to work cooperatively with the MHL and the other seven Associations to create an environment that will provide the best possible hockey experience for all Mississauga residents. Again, if you have any ideas, concerns or suggestions for improvement, please feel free to contact me presidentcvw@rogers.com or leave me a message on our hockey line (905)-785-0273.

In closing, I would like to leave you with our motto:

Hockey…for fitness, fun and friendship.

We will strive to run programs that deliver on these goals.
