Westfort Hockey League

Hello Westfort hockey families and thank you for your patience. 

We are happy to announce the six associations within Lakehead Minor Hockey League have been working together to open registration. 

 Registration will open next week for Phase One (Development Phase) with a price of this phase at $100.00. 

 We anticipate phase One beginning shortly after Thanksgiving.  

Check the Westfort Rangers website and Facebook page regularly for details as they become available. 

As of August 31, 2020 we have HNO's return to play guidelines. Things look positive but now Westfort needs LMHA procedures for moving forward. Once they are put forward, Westfort can give parents a clear understanding of what we can provide. We hope to open registration very soon. Please stay tuned.

Thanks again and we look forward to a seeing everyone when the guidelines allow.

Respect in Sport Parent Program

HNO is pleased to announce it has partnered with the Respect Group Inc. to provide an education tool that will further our commitment to fostering a safe and fun hockey environment for all participants.

The Respect in Sport Program for Parents is a unique, in-depth 1 hour online program geared to providing the parent with information on how to evaluate and understand:

• Parental influence over a child
• Coach and leader roles in sport
• Role of the parent and coach in ensuring a child’s enjoyment of a sport
• Protecting your child when outside of your immediate control
• Concussion awareness & Return to Play guidelines
• Long-Term Player Development (LTPD) model

The program is a proactive, educational program that empowers parents with the tools to ensure the game is enjoyable and respectful for themselves, their children and all other stakeholders in the game.

Beginning with the 2016-17 minor hockey season a minimum of 1 parent/guardian from each family with players at the Novice or Atom level will need to take the program along with 1 parent/ guardian from any players entering Hockey Canada programming for the first time in the peewee to midget age groups.

The cost of the one hour online program is $12.00+HST and you can complete the course at the link below:

 Respect in Sport Parent Program

NOTE - The Respect in Sport Parent Program differs from the Respect in Sport Leader/Coach Program. Therefore parents that have taken the Leader/Coach Program must still take the Parent Program.

Westfort Minor Hockey is extremely thankful for Carter Hutton, the Boys and Girls Club of Thunder Bay and the NHLPA Goals and Dreams program for the donation of a full set of Goalie Equipment!!
