Followed by NWW Member Event at JTs

The Northwest Warriors board invites all members to remain with us following the completion of AGM business. First, we will be recognising the efforts of teams’ Treasurers, Fundraising Co-ordinators and Tournament Co-ordinators, then we will move downstairs to JTs.  Our hockey program could not happen without the countless hours of volunteer effort and we want to show our appreciation.  This is a great opportunity to spend time with other NWW families that support our community hockey program.  We hope you can join us for some drinks and socializing.

There are numerous planning and preparation activities that take place during the summer months.  If you are interested in learning more, please visit our volunteers page.
