We have recently lost a long time friend and member of the league. Ed Hollett was involved with the Provincials as manager in the late 1960s. The Provincials was the govt team in the Civil Service League. When the NAPE league started in 1971, Ed was a coach. He was not a big man and I never seen him play hockey. I don’t know if he could even skate. However he had the interest in the league. I don’t recall him missing many, if any, games until he got sick a few years ago. He was very dependable to show up for games and always had a bit of advice or encouragement to help us along. Beside coach, he would attend AGMs and drafts regularly. He was a true volunteer. He did it for the love of the game.

The NAPE Hockey League executive regrets to inform players that due to community spread of Covid, the Chief Medical Officer has suspended all team activities for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately that means that we have to put our season on hold for a while. We have no idea how long this will last, nor how it will affect our season, and/or our playoffs. We will provide updates as we get them.  Stay safe everyone. Hopefully we will be back on the ice soon.
