The 2023 Cooper Nemeth Hockey Memorial was held on Saturday, March 25 at Gateway Community Centre. The annual event is a fundraiser for the Cooper Nemeth Memorial Player Assistance Fund, which provides funding for minor hockey players within Hockey Winnipeg at the AA level. Without this funding, playing AA hockey would not be possible for many young athletes in the city.
This year the event raised an incredible $22,010.37 which will go directly to assisting families in next year’s AA program.
The cheque presentation pictured above includes (L to R) Gaylene Nemeth, Lenny Baranyk Jr., Brent Nemeth, Daryl Fowler and Angie Beaque.
Applications for the Cooper Nemeth Memorial Player Assistance Fund can be downloaded from the Hockey Winnipeg website under the Resources tab for the 2023-2024 season starting in September.
Hockey Winnipeg is proud to support a neighboring community in their quest to be named Kraft’s Hockeyville 2023.
Ste. Anne is in the final with the last round of voting opening up on March 31st at 9:00am. If they win, they will get to host an NHL Game and receive $250,000 worth of Arena upgrades.
Lets help them out by voting on the 31st! Follow the link to vote HERE

ATTENTION : Hockey Winnipeg asks that teams and officials will no longer shake hands at the beginning and end of games. Teams are to line up on their respective blue lines at the end of games and salute each other by way of stick tap.
Also, officials will not be required to pick up broken sticks and mouth guards that end up on the ice. Coaches are to instruct players to retrieve their own broken sticks and mouth guards that end up on the ice.
These changes in routine will remain in place until further notice.
