Owen Sound’s River Emonts Recognized as OMHA Rookie Volunteer of the Month
Owen Sound Minor Hockey is incredibly proud to celebrate River Emonts, who has been recognized by the Ontario Minor Hockey Association as Rookie Volunteer of the Month! This award, part of OMHA’s Volunteer of the Month program presented by Nothers, highlights volunteers making a difference in minor hockey.

At just 17 years old, River is a dedicated volunteer in Owen Sound Minor Hockey’s Learn to Play program, which helps kids with special needs and new-to-hockey players develop basic skills in a fun and supportive environment. Inspired by her younger brother’s love for hockey, River became an on-ice leader when the program launched. Today, she helps design and execute practice plans while creating an inclusive space where all players can thrive.

River’s passion for hockey and her commitment to making the game accessible for everyone is truly inspiring. She believes every child deserves the chance to experience the joy of being part of a team, and her efforts have made a lasting impact on our hockey community.

Congratulations, River, on this well-deserved recognition!

Connect Rehabilitation|Yoga|Fitness
CONNECT opened in May 2019 out of a need for MORE. More 1-on-1 time with our patients, more time learning about you and your goals, and more focus on doing the things that we know will help you in the long term. That meant creating a space that provided more than just the highest quality physiotherapy, chiropractic, and massage therapy services. It meant we needed a space where we could empower people to take active control of their health, and provide them with the specialized group fitness, yoga, and cycle classes that they needed to accomplish that. CONNECT is an enigma in both the healthcare world and the fitness world. We don't fit nicely into either box, but we know that the way that we bring the two together is going to help change the way we think about and manage our own health.
