For hundreds of dedicated Local League hockey players in Prince Edward County, over five months of games and practices finally came to fruition Mar. 30 as the Prince Edward County Minor Hockey Association hosted its annual County Championship day, the culminating event of the 2018-19 season.

“We are so proud of all of our teams, our volunteer staff and our parents for representing the Prince Edward County Minor Hockey Association so well this season,” PECMHA President Steve Payne said.

After the local league clubs from the tyke to the midget ranks faced off, PECMHA handed out the annual Esso Awards of Achievement as well as some special awards for individual players and coaches.
