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!

The Crescent Athletic Club of Owen Sound, Ontario was envisioned and founded in 1920 by like-minded sportsmen as a viable way to bind interests, commitments and the continuance of minor sports teams in the community. Historically a not-for-profit men's organization with the aim to support local athletic teams. Today the club functions in much the same way it was originally fashioned. A place for members to meet and greet in the club rooms for drinks, camaraderie and some gifted gab. Club banquets and sports events like golf, darts and curling tournaments generate proceeds to help keep the club running and to raise donation funds for minor sports teams in Owen Sound when it is possible to do so. 2022 was a historic year as the Crescent Athletic Club celebrated 102 years.
