38 Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, June 16, 2016 | Spirit's league first in Canada to make full facemasks mandatory When the Ontario Junior Hockey League held its annual general meeting in Mississauga last weekend, one of the topics raised was player safety. In particular, facial injuries. In an effort to reduce the number of incidents, the league took a step to implement full facial protection starting in the 2017-18 campaign. By virtue of this decision, which was voted on by the league's board of governors, the OJHL will become the first member league in the Canadian Junior Hockey League to make full facemasks mandatory for their players. To be eliminated are the half visors. "Player safety at the junior level of the game of hockey is constantly being monitored and reviewed, and is a never-ending process," OJHL commissioner Marty Savoy said in a league press release. "The governors of the OJHL feel that their decision to move toward full facial protection is a decision that will improve the overall safety of our most important assets; the players of our league." Also named at the annual general meeting was a new OJHL board of directors. Whitby Fury governor Scott McCrory will serve another term as chairman with Stuart Hyman of the Markham Royals serving once again as the first vice-chairman and Rob DeVincentis of the Milton Icehawks appointed as second vice-chairman. Ken Burrows, Stouffville Spirit co-owner and general manager, will remain on the board as the North-East Conference director and newly-appointed is Bill Court of the Georgetown Raiders, who will serve as the South-West Conference director. During the upcoming season, the Trenton Golden Hawks will serve as host of the 2017 Dudley-Hewitt Cup, Central Canadian Junior `A' Championship, and the Cobourg Cougars will host the 2017 RBC Cup, National Junior `A' Championship. Also this season, it was decided that the Buffalo Jr. Sabres will once again host the OJHL Governors' Showcase at the HarborCenter from Sept. 26-28. All OJHL member clubs will play two games at the showcase, providing an opportunity for scouts to view up-and-coming prospects in a single, central location. ­ Michael Hayakawa June 5 - 23, 2016 · Every Sunday-Thursday Let's Get Grilling Check Out Our Napoleon BBQ line 5688 Main St., Stouffville · 905-640-1424 · www.betzpools.com OpEN EVERYdAY MON-SuN 9AM-6pM Available Available to be won 90 Samsung Tab A Galaxy Tab 8" T ablets Tablets 6 Winners each promotional day . day.
