The 100 Mile House Old Timers Hockey Association is a co-ed hockey league that has just completed its 12th very successful hockey season.

Our players range in age from 35 to 85 years and have a wide range of skills from beginners to seasoned veterans.

We welcome all players who wish to play in a competitive but friendly atmosphere. All games are refereed by qualified officials.

Each year, players register to play and a draft is held prior to the season opener to determine the makeup of the teams.

The league operates under the umbrella and rules of the Canadian Amateur Recreation Hockey Association (CARHA). All players in our league are covered by CARHA’s medical/liability insurance program, and all game statistics are recorded on its website.

This year, we had more than 60 players on four teams, playing 20 regular season games, and four playoff games.

Our wind-up Awards night, banquet and dance will be held April 30.

The regular season winner was TIMBERMART Ltd and the playoffs winner was Sunrise Ford.

Ron Graves is a 100 Mile House Old Timers Hockey Association player and an association director.

We wish to acknowledge, and thank our sponsors: TIMBERMART Ltd., Sunrise Ford Sales Ltd., Century Home Hardware Ltd. and Rona Interlakes for their continuing financial support.
