Floorball for Hockey Champions

FloorballPro mini rink swarmed by minor hockey players

FloorballPro's partnership with the Ontario Minor Hockey Association continued this weekend during the OMHA's Hometown Hockey Show and Annual General Meeting.

When I think of an AGM, I picture a slow June weekend of meetings but instead the OMHA has created a huge event around it, which is the largest gathering of minor hockey administrators in the world with over 1000 people in attendance. The AGM includes a Consumer Show with major and up and coming hockey vendors displaying their latest wares to OMHA members. All 65 teams that won OMHA championships during the past season are invited to attend a Parade of Champions, where the winning teams walk though the entire hotel complex and end their parade outdoors in the Interactive Zone.

This is where FloorballPro set-up this year, our third year in attendance at the show and first in official partnership with the OMHA. Our goal at the show is to give each minor hockey player a chance to try a floorball stick for the first time. We set-up a small 3-on-3 floorball rink with plenty of sticks on hand for all interested players. If the long line at the rink and sales booth was any indication, floorball was once again well received by the OMHA hockey crowd.

Special thanks to the OMHA for the opportunity and to the FloorballPro event team of Johanna Kytölä, Sonja Hotke, Vesa Mikkola, Fabian Jobin and Michael Borg who did a great job this weekend.We are already looking forward to next year.
