Green Armband Referee Initiative
OMHA is introducing the “Green Armband Initiative” for our young officials under the ages of 18.

The Green Armband initiative is a program that’s meant to remind people that these young referees are under the age of 18.



They are young “minor hockey players” learning a different aspect of the game of hockey.

They are the future of our hockey programs.

Please give these young referees the respect they deserve.

Reminder - No Ref, No Game!!

Tim Hortons
The Timbits Sports Program is a community-oriented sponsorship program for children four to eight years old who participate in local house league sports teams. The program's philosophy is not based on winning or losing - but on learning a new sport, making new friends, and just taking time out to be a kid. Tim Hortons currently sponsors over 200,000 children who play on hockey, soccer, lacrosse, t-ball, baseball and ringette teams across Canada and in the United States. Each sponsored team is supplied with Timbits Minor Sports jerseys or T-shirts. Timbits hockey teams are often given the opportunity to play on-ice scrimmages during intermissions at Junior, American Hockey League (AHL) and National Hockey League (NHL) games.
