THE ESSENCE OF ACHIEVEMENT

image_name2
"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!

After the first period our Tyke 1 vs Tyke 2 in a 5 minute scrimmage, much to the kids surprise, the got a little help from Josh, Cody and Billy, who joined them on the ice. It was lots of fun to watch those little guys out there with the big guys who all started the very same way.
