              On May 5^th, 2008, one of Nickel Centre Minor Hockey’s own, Murray Hancock (pictured in the centre), was presented the John Dandenault Award by the Nickel District Minor Hockey League. The John Dandenault Award is awarded to an individual or a group that promotes or displays fair play and good sport.

              Murray was born and raised in Nickel Centre, where he continues to reside with his wife and two daughters. He began playing and enjoying the sport of hockey in the early 1980’s as a Nickel Centre Squirt.

              His love of the sport has transcended throughout the years as he continues to play hockey, volunteer as an N.C.M.H.A. board member and as an N.C.M.H.A. coach. His hopes as a coach are to develop fundamental skills and instill the same passion and love of the game that he enjoys.

              This 2007-08 season he was fortunate to coach with an exceptional group of men and he was quick in recognizing the ideals and efforts put forth by ALL the Nickel Centre Minor Atom coaching staff, honorably noted Shawn Mclean, Jason Lavallee, Leo St.Georges and Georges Preseault (all are pictured below). All of them reminded the players throughout the year that the number one goal was to have FUN and put forth your best effort.

Murray's Coaching staff for the 2007/08 season included from left to right,
Georges Preseault, Murray Hancock, Jason Lavalle, Leo St-Georges and Shawn McLean.

            Congratulations to Murray Hancock in your recognition of promoting and displaying Fair Play and Good Sportsmanship in
2007-08.

The Nickel Centre Minor Hockey Association is always seeking both adult and student volunteers to help out during its two scheduled tournament every season.
Volunteers are needed for assisting 50/50 ticket sales, playing music during games along with other duties commonly required during tournaments.

Outgoing students requiring volunteer hours will find this tournament environment  entertaining with some functions requiring interaction with tournament participants from all parts of the province.

Should you be interested or would like further information please contact
Tournament Chair as posted on the tournament page or by email at ncmha@ncmha.net

The Nickel Centre Minor Hockey Association and more specifically the Tournament Committees would like to offer its thanks to all those who have help out during the Rep and House League Tournament this season. Everyone played a part no matter how mundane their job may have felt. Many tedious functions were also done by volunteers behind the scenes and were not quite so visible but just as important. Your help was very much appreciated and we thank you.

On behalf of the Nickel Centre Minor Hockey Association we would like to congratulate and thank the 2008 House League Tournament Chair, Rob Marcotte for the successful organization of this year's House League Tournament. A tremendous amount of hours goes into the organization of a tournament of this caliber. Those hours take a toll on one's time and family. Many thanks for your dedication and commitment to all members of our Hockey Association.
