PDMHA Good Deeds Cup Mission Statement
The Plattsville & District Minor Hockey Association's Good Deeds Cup has been created to focus on giving back and engaging with our community. The focus of giving is prominent throughout hockey, at all levels, and we want to advocate for this with our children.
Hockey helps to foster and further develop key life skills including teamwork, collaboration, discipline respect, communication, and humility. As we work to support the development of these and other skills for our players, both on and off the ice, the Good Deeds Cup acts as a celebration of our community's warm, caring spirit.
Outline for the 2023-24 Competition (updated Jan 22)
All teams have the opportunity to compete for a chance to win the Good Deeds Cup.
The focus is player involvement, so activities should be selected based on the age/capability of the team. Player & coach involvement is mandatory for teams competing, parent involvement is optional.
