TASA President’s Year-End Message

As we wrap up another incredible season, I am proud to reflect on what has been a truly remarkable year for TASA. Our association has continued to build on its momentum, and teams at every level have experienced success like never before. It’s a testament to the commitment, passion, and dedication that runs through our entire organization.

At TASA, we take great pride in providing best-in-class player development. This would not be possible without the leadership of our Director of Hockey Development, Kyle MacDonald, and our Goalie Coordinator, Ben Meisner. Their expertise, along with the efforts of our highly skilled coaching staff, ensures that our players are supported, challenged, and given every opportunity to grow—both on and off the ice.

Equally important to our success are the volunteers who form the heartbeat of our association. From team-level volunteers to our executive, your time, energy, and commitment make everything we do possible. TASA is stronger because of you, and I sincerely thank each and every one of you for your contributions this season.

As my term as President comes to an end, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped make these years so meaningful and successful. It has been an honour to serve this association and this community. While I will be moving into the Past President role, I look forward to continuing to support TASA and staying actively involved.

We are welcoming new board members this year, and I am genuinely excited about the leadership, ideas, and energy this executive will bring. The future of TASA is in great hands, and I am confident that our association will continue to grow and thrive in the years ahead.

Finally, I encourage all of our members to consider volunteering—no matter your experience level. Even if you are new to hockey, there is a place for you here. TASA is not only a great place for players to learn the game, but also for families and community members to get involved and make a difference.

Thank you all for an outstanding season. I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish together in the years to come.

Sincerely,
Sheldon MacKinnon
Outgoing President, TASA
