Team NOHA'S run at the OHL Cup came to an end last night after dropping the contest against the Barrie Colts by a score of 5-0. Sebastien Brassard was again a bright spot, doing everything in his power to keep Team NOHA in the game through two periods. Brassard made way in the third period to Kalia Pharand, who got her first action of the tournament stopping all 17 shots she faced. Mason Walker was named MVP of the game. The NOHA would like to congratulate all players on representing themselves and the NOHA in an impressive manner. Thank you to our Team Staff, including Coaches, Trainers, and scout staff, who put months of hard work into the assembly of this Team. Team NOHA finished the 2024 OHL Cup with a record of 2-2.

The NOHA is proud to announce that the NOHA Most Deserving Official Award will be renamed the Ken Miller Memorial Award. Ken Miller was a longtime contributor to the NOHA Officiating Program serving as Director of Officials from 1988-1996 and as an Officiating Coach for many seasons up until his passing in 2024. Ken was also the recipient of the OHF Officiating Award in 2006 and the Hockey Canada Officiating Award in 2007. The Ken Miller Memorial Award is given annually to an Official who played a key role in the Officiating Program within their District; someone who would be sorely missed if they were no longer involved, an Officiating Coach who is always willing to go out and supervise younger Officials, or a person who has assisted with the assigning, instruction, and administration at Development Camps.

Team NOHA is back in the win column! Team NOHA is back on track with a game 3 win over The Ottawa Valley Titans. Sebastien Brassard was again tapped with the start and continued his strong efforts making 18 saves on 21 shots. Goals by Brady Real, Lex Lamontagne, Benjamin Brunton, Maverick Hill, and Liam Watson. Player of the game went to Maverick Hill. Team NOHA is back at it tonight at 7:00 pm in a tilt against the Barrie Colts.

Team NOHA dropped a hard fought battle by a score of 4-1 to the Mississauga Rebels this afternoon. Maverick Hill scored the lone marker for Team NOHA with assists going to Logan Rivard and Cole Wreggitt. Carson Ruddy was excellent in goal, giving Team NOHA a chance throughout. Game MVP honours go to Mason Walker. We would like to congratulate Kalia Pharand from the U16 Sudbury Wolves, who has been called to join the Team NOHA roster.

Team NOHA starts the OHL Cup off with a strong effort, earning themselves a 4-2 victory against a strong Elgin-Middlesex Club. Lex Lamontagne lit the lamp twice in the contest, including the game winner. Earning game MVP honors. Benjamin Brunton and Logan Rivard had the other two Team NOHA goals. Assists in this game came off the sticks of Dawson Morris, Ashton Pitawanakwat, and Edan Etheridge. Sebastien Brassard had a strong effort in net stopping 25 of 27. Team NOHA will look to continue their strong start with a Tuesday match up against the Mississauga Rebels. Puck drop is 11:30 AM.
