Pownal Minor Hockey Association

The Pownal Minor Hockey Association was founded in the mid 1960's by a small group of individuals who saw a need and an opportunity for the youth of our rural community. With the assistance of a centennial year grant from governments, the Pownal Sport Center was completed and became the permanent home of the Pownal Minor Hockey Association. The ear... ly years of the Association saw a steady increase in player registrants volunteers committed to seeing the association succeed. By the late 1970s, this small community association had grown to 90 registered players. Throughout the early 1980's, Pownal Minor Hockey Association was classified as a C organization, due in part to its limited size. The Association remained in the C category until the mid 1980's when they won many of the C titles. Shortly thereafter, the association's rating was upgraded to B level for all categories while players continued to develop and registration grew each year. As players continued to develop and progress through our program Pownal eventually made a full commitment to the AA and AAA divisions in all categories from Novice to Midget. Our Association's commitment to these levels has continued throughout the years, regardless of the competitiveness of our teams. During our progression, the Pownal Minor Hockey Association has always maintained its equal commitment to those players in the A level and this commitment to our A teams remains strong today. During the early 1980's, the Pownal "Red Devils successfully competed in the Island Juvenile AAA League culminating with the winning of the Atlantic Championships in 1983/84. The level of stability and commitment of the Pownal Minor Hockey Association has been evident throughout our history and continues to be even stronger today. From a small rural community organization with less than one hundred members we have grown to a registration of over 550 players. We continually carry a full slate of executive officers guiding the Association and its programs and projects. The countless numbers ...Read More
