Oakville Minor Oaks Hockey Association

Alex Pace was a MOHA house league defenceman who loved the game and loved being with his teammates. He believed that everyone should have a chance to play and enjoy the game if they wished.

Alex died early in 2009, after a 2 year battle with cancer.  He was almost 12 years old.  Following his death, one of Alex's former teammates and his parents created a patch with a simple design showing Alex's initials and number.  The team wore it on their jerseys for the rest of the season.

MOHA chose to institute a community service award in Alex's name; Alex fervently believed in helping others and hoped that this dream would live beyond him. 

The first awards were handed out at the end of the 2008-2009 season to members of our hockey community who had gone above and beyond to do good for others.

In this spirit of community service, the AMP #10 program has been created to assist underprivileged hockey players in Oakville and beyond.

Program

• Teams purchase 16 patches for all players on their team for a total of $160 (roughly the cost of one hour of ice-time, of many your team may use over a whole season).
• The proceeds will go towards MOHA's President's Fund, a fund for kids who can't afford hockey.
• An initial run of 4,000 patches will be supplied at no cost, so the full $160 will go towards the fund.
• Any proceeds in excess of the needs of the President’s Fund will be directed to an alternative charity, in support of its hockey programs.  The intended beneficiary is a First Nations hockey program that is yet to be identified.   Should that not be achievable, the funds will be directed towards appropriately identified underprivileged players, teams, or organizations.
• If you know of other individuals, teams, groups or associations outside of MOHA who would be interested in purchasing patches, please let us know (email below).
