The NOHA is saddened to hear of the loss of Dan McCourt. Dan was an important part of our hockey community and will be greatly missed.
After playing Junior hockey, Dan switched lanes to become an Official and served as a Linesman for the NHL from 1979-2004. After his time on the ice, he dedicated himself as an Officiating Manager, and has also been an integral member of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League.
Dan was inducted to the Greater Sudbury Sports Hall of Fame in 2015.
We send our thoughts to his friends and family.
The application period for local hockey associations wishing to host the NHL/NHLPA First Shift in 2025-26 is NOW OPEN!
Â
A truly unique experience designed to help kids fall in love with hockey, the six-week learn-to-play program continues to focus on having fun while learning basic skills. Full head-to-toe Bauer equipment is included with registration.
Â
The NHL/NHLPA First Shift mission is to change the way hockey is offered, to inspire new families to join our community, and enroll their kids in our sport. Because of the program’s belief in all that hockey has to offer kids, their families, and our communities, the NHL/NHLPA First Shift was designed to make hockey accessible, affordable, safe, and most importantly, fun!
Â
The NHL/NHLPA First Shift partners are committed to ensuring the program and the sport of hockey welcomes participants, no matter the race, gender, religion, ability, or sexual orientation. A more inclusive future creates avenues for new players across all backgrounds the chance to inspire the next generations on and off the ice. We believe diversity makes us all stronger and want to ensure opportunities are available for everyone to be welcomed into the hockey community.
Â
We encourage Local Hockey Associations to share their intentions for any equity, diversity and inclusion focused programming.
