After years of giving back to their communities, eight outstanding individuals were on the receiving end of Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) Awards. Presented at the annual Awards Banquet and AGM Weekend, the awards recognize dedication to the game, Branch and, most importantly, the thousands of OHF athletes.

The Volunteer of the Year Award was presented to Larry Gould. Last year, Gould won the OMHA Honour Award (video below) and has been an active member of Schomberg Minor Hockey for over 45 years. He has been an integral part from his early years of coaching right through to his years as an Executive Member. He has also been an active member at the OMHA level, serving as a York-Simcoe Convener for approximately 20 years. Larry has also been inducted as a Lifetime Member of Schomberg Minor Hockey. He was instrumental in the development of the Schomberg Minor Hockey Constitution and Rules of Operation, and has held many executive positions over the years, including President, Ice Scheduler, and Tournament Director. For most people in Schomberg and for the majority of kids in town, he is simply known as “Coach Larry”, in recognition of his many years behind the bench.

“Without those honoured over the weekend, the OHF would simply be unable to achieve what it does year-after-year,” said Tony Foresi, OHF President. “These individuals are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to volunteers and staff around the OHF, who work tirelessly to ensure every player who steps on the ice enjoys a meaningful experience.”

The OHF Awards Program was introduced during the 2001-2002 season to formally recognize the efforts and achievements of volunteers who dedicate themselves to furthering the mission of the OHF.
