The 2010 Hannah Miller Memorial Hockey Tournament novice division games are currently underway at Acadia Arena in Wolfville, Sunday, March 14, until just after 5 p.m. The atom division games were held at the Glooscap District Arena in Canning on Friday, March 12 and Saturday, March 13. This was the second year the Acadia Minor Hockey Association (AMHA) Atom Female Division host team participated in the tournament.
Hannah Miller was a seven-year-old player in the AMHA Quick Start Program. She loved playing hockey and enthusiasm was evident to everyone around her. Tragically, in the spring of 2005, shortly after the end of her first hockey season, she was killed in a car accident in Port Williams. To help perpetuate her passion for hockey and provide opportunities for young players, the memorial tournament was organized.
Acadia University’s School of Recreation Management and Kinesiology, the AMHA and family members created the Hannah Miller Memorial Fund in her memory. The goal of the fund is to provide opportunity for female hockey players to participate in an environment that emphasizes fun and fair play, support and promote developmental initiatives for female hockey in the AMHA and award an annual scholarship to a student at Acadia University.
In novice division action, Berwick White took on Kentville Black and Pink on Sunday morning. There are no wins or losses in the novice tournament, only team participation and fun. Reporter Kirk Starratt was on hand and files the following video package…
