Welcome to the new Applewood website!
Applewood Hockey Association was established in 1988 as a result of the amalgamation of Cawthra Park and Dixie Hockey Associations. We play in the Mississauga Hockey League (MHL) and have teams in House League from ages 4 to 20 and “A” Representative Divisions from Minor Atom to Midget Senior.
We operate as a Not-for-Profit Organization that relies upon sponsorships, fundraising efforts and most importantly on the tireless work and dedication of numerous volunteers who willingly give their time to forward our values and principles.
Our success directly relates to our motivated and committed volunteers and their love of this wonderful sport of hockey. The efforts of these individuals, who tirelessly contribute countless hours of hard work and energy, provide a fun and safe environment where our children can develop skills and character while forging wonderful memories and lifelong friendships.
At Applewood Hockey we believe and strive to build are our organization based on the characteristics that are associated with excellence. As a club, we stress fair play, sound hockey skills, sportsmanship and dedication. In return we expect our team staff, parents, spectators and our players, to display the same characteristics. The game of hockey requires a great deal of focus, athletic skills, mental toughness, physical strength and a competitive nature. We stress the importance of knowing how to win with humility and lose with dignity. Winning may seem important to many, but we don’t view winning as the only measure of a successful season. We also stress the value of life lessons that come from participating in the game we love and play as our measure of success.
An important Applewood objective is to provide competitive hockey without a win-at-all-costs philosophy. Every player and volunteer is treated fairly and everyone enjoys rewarding hockey experience.
Thank you for visiting our website and we hope to see you in the rinks!
Mark Zizek,President
Applewood Hockey Association
