THE ESSENCE OF ACHIEVEMENT

twistercolour
"The credit belongs to those people who are in the arena...who know the great enthusiams, the great devotions to a worthy cause; who at best, know the triumph of high achievements; and who, at worst, fail while daring greatly...so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."-Theodore Roosevelt

Dedicated to fun, fair play and good sportsmanship

Grand Valley is a small community of 1600 located on the banks of the Grand River, on Dufferin Road 25 (formerly Hwy 25), 5 minutes north of Dufferin Road 9 (formerly Hwy 9). It is officially part of the township of East Luther Grand Valley. Grand Valley & District Minor Hockey Association provides hockey to players in the town and immediate surrounding area. We offer hockey for players 4 to 17 years, in divisions Mite to Midget. Our centre is classed as a ‘D’ centre with our registration averaging 150 players a year. As a member of the OMHA we support the initiation program for the beginners, OMHA competitive teams from Novice to Midget, and this season have a local league team each in Tyke, Atom, Pee Wee and Midget.  More.

There is nothing better than watching a Twister team play, for they all have commonality in their drive and determination. Always humble victors, gracious in defeat, playing with heart, having fun and loving the game above the prize. Come out to a game or two and see for yourself!

Petition Against the HST Tax

(Reproduced from the OMHA website) 

Wednesday, August 26, 2009

Richmond Hill, ON: -  Dalton McGuinty’s plan to blend the PST with the GST into one ‘harmonized’ tax will raise the cost of a list of goods and services not previously subject to the provincial sales tax, including minor hockey registration fees. Parents who want to register their kids for minor hockey is just one group of many that will be negatively impacted by this tax.

We are focusing our fight against the proposed HST by gathering names on petitions against the Harmonized Sales Tax for presentation in the Ontario Legislature. We believe that with enough demonstration from Ontarians of their opposition to this tax, the government may reconsider their plans.
