here.Nominated for the two-year President position -
Kim Docherty - Incumbent
Additional Information/Comments to support the nomination*
I have been in this position for 2 years. Prior to becoming president,
I held a House League convener position then House League VP, then stepping up
to take on the Presidents role after learning the organization and
understanding its needs. Throughout the
last two years I have led the PGHA towards significant reforms in how the board
and teams function. This has created
fiscal protections for all members, maintained costs to families even though
prices for everything have risen, increased the profile of the PGHA within the
community, increased membership enrollment, doubled the PGHA House League
tournament size and increased revenue.
On top of these forward movements for the organization, I spearheaded the
Peterborough bid for the 2024 U18 National championships ending in final 2
contention. I have negotiated with the city to receive more equitable ice time
and access to facilities, even going as far as lobbying the mayor to ensure we
had tryout ice in 2024 when the city decided to pull ice early. I am committed to growing the PGHA and building
a more inclusive, positive, environment for all; with a focus on development
and fun! I feel that I have contributed
positively to the organization. While there will always be hiccups and
complaints, I have always acted with integrity and the best interest of all our
girls at heart. You will be hard pressed to find someone more passionate and
dedicated and I hope to be able to continue serving this great organization.

Mike would be an excellent VP of Rep for the PGHA because he
possesses strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills,
alongside a vast knowledge of hockey and the relevant rules and regulations.
Mike is a respectful leader, capable of mediating disputes and fostering a
positive environment for players and parents.
Nominated for the two-year VP of Operations position -
Gillian Morley
Additional Information/Comments to support the nomination*
Gillian has been a volunteer with our Association for many
years. Gillian served as health and safety director this past season and was
also a point of contact for tryouts. I believe her many years of experience
with the PGHA and her recent involvement at the board level would make her an
excellent candidate for this position. Gillian knows how the board functions
and is aware of the duties and time involved.
