South County Predators Girls Hockey Association wraps up season with its “Fun Day”

The South County Girls Hockey Association wrapped up its 2024-25 season with a “Fun Day” at the Libro Centre last Saturday. A number of activities were held for the girls throughout the day. The SCPGHA uses ice in Amherstburg, Harrow and Kingsville throughout the season.

The season has concluded for the South County Predators Girls Hockey Association (SCPGHA).

The SCPGHA held its annual “Fun Day” last Saturday at the Libro Centre where informal three-on-three games were played, players got a chance to simply skate and have a good time, use the turf field and conclude the season with their teammates and friends.

Mindy Parisien, a board member and chair of the SCPGHA “Fun Day” event, said they came up with the idea to give the players a positive way to end the season. 

Some players in the younger age divisions had an opportunity to play in the Essex-Kent Girls Interlock Hockey League and had their own “Day of Champions” but others would end the season with a practice.

“We also get them geared up for next season,” added Parisien.

SCPGHA volunteers were on hand signing up players for next season and Parisien said they also allowed other groups to showcase themselves and show what they offer the community.

There was also an open skate for players and their families during Saturday afternoon to thank families and get everyone ready for the following girls hockey season.

Age divisions start at U7 and there are also teams in the U9, U11, U13, U15 and U22 categories. 

There is also a ladies development program offered by the SCPGHA.

The SCPGHA had about 160 registered players this past season and girls used arenas in Amherstburg, Harrow and Kingsville. 

Players came in from those three towns as well as surrounding communities like LaSalle, Windsor and Leamington.
