But the Sheridan College stuâ€" dent, who last year backstopped his Oakville Midget "AA" team to the league championship, was just happy to find a team to suit up for this year.

Also on hand, will be Canstar which will demonstrate the proper roller hockey equipment which, explained league organizer Raoul Langvee (he‘s also a MOHA director), is lighter than regular hockey equipment. Hockey equipment, however, is perfectly suitable for the spring league. Interested participants are reminded that "space is extremely limited." Sponsors and volunteers are desperately needed. Games and instrucâ€" tion will be held at the Glen Abbey rec centre. Spring roller hockey league A spring roller hockey league is being organized by some minor hockey volunteers for kids who would enjoy playing the summer verâ€" sion of hockey. The organizers are purposely starting off small with the hope that the Minor Oaks Hockey Association (MOHA) will take it on as a full proâ€" gram next year. The teams will play each other five times and then conclude with a championship match. The Oakville league will hold its registration and information sesâ€" sions, in conjunction with the MOHA registration, at the Oakville Arena tonight (Friday) from 6 to 10 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Prior to actual league play, the league will hold a threeâ€"day instrucâ€" tional program next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (May 2â€"4). Oakville residents are reminded that the Minor Oaks Hockey Association (MOHA), in a shift from past practice, has moved up its annual registration from its usual fall date. It will be held at Oakville Arena tonight (Friday) from 6 to 10 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oakville has a shortage of ice space which last season resulted in the 2100â€"member Oakville league turning away about 300 players. The league fully expects this weekend‘s registration will fill it to capacity in which case there would not be a second one in the fall. The league will run only two teams of 13 players in each of three age groups â€" 7â€"8, 9â€"10 and 11â€"12 years of age. Priority will be given to players who were still registered with the league at the endâ€"of the current season, said league secretary Mary Belford. Provision has been made to allow for postâ€"dated checks. Pushing up the registration to the spring will free up more time in the traditionally busy fall period when the league is putting together both its rep and house league teams, she said. Don‘t fall by the wayside Adults interested in coaching house league teams should also submit applications at the registration. For more information, contact MOHA at 257â€"8992. CHWO‘s annual gold awards will be handed out out to deserving minor hockey players this Saturday at Hopedale Mall. The longâ€"running awards, handed out at the conclusion of the hockey and soccer seasons, began more than three decades ago with the goal of encouraging the young participants to remain involved in competitive sports. Selected by the individual coaches, the awards are bestowed on a player for an extraordinary achievement such as a hatâ€"trick or five assist game.. Something fishy going on Trout season opens this weekend and Milton‘s Kelso Conservation Area, which stocks its reservoir with rainbow trout, opens its doors Saturday (April 30) at 6 a.m. The following Saturday (May 7), the 14th annual fishing derby is on tap.
