Daniel Cleary Entrance Scholarship
Daniel Cleary is a native of Harbour Grace, NL and a NHL hockey player who played with the Detroit Red Wings when they won the Stanley Cup in 2008. Mr. Cleary is the first resident of the province to have played on a Stanley Cup winning team. The Daniel Cleary Entrance Scholarship is established as the result of funds raised from an event, and sale of merchandise, celebrating Mr. Cleary and the Red Wings’ victory. The scholarship will be awarded annually to an entering full-time undergraduate male or female student in any program of study at Memorial University of Newfoundland. To be eligible, candidates must demonstrate scholarship standing and have participated in the highest level of minor hockey in Newfoundland and Labrador in their graduating year. The scholarship is valued at a portion of the income on the endowment or
$1000, whichever is greater, and will be awarded by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards.

Major Announcement
House League
The Northeast Minor Hockey Association is proud to announce that it will operate its own house league beginning with the 2009/10 hockey season.
During the past decade or so, Northeast sent its house league players to Twin Rinks to participate in the Capital City House League, operated by St. John’s Minor. However the growth of our association has allowed us to bring all the members back home, and operate our own house league out of Jack Byrne Arena.
“This has been an exciting year of growth for Northeast, with the opening of our own home arena, the changing of our association colours and logo and the dramatic increase in our registration” says Donnie Power, president of the association. “The executive expects this growth to continue next year and the year after, and to facilitate that growth, the executive feels it’s the proper time to operate our house league out of Jack Byrne Arena.”
In addition to the change of association colours and logo, this past year saw Northeast run a very successful initiation program that saw 66 children get introduced to the game.
Northeast Minor Hockey operated six divisions this past year, with 326 children, ranging in age from 4 to 17, registered. That represents an approximate 20 per cent increase in registration from the previous year, and 100 per cent growth since 2004. We forecast this growth to continue.
More details will be announced during the Northeast Minor Hockey Annual General Meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, May 26, 2009, 7 p.m. at the Jack Byrne Arena Community Room.
All members are invited to attend.
