Bill McKenna Scholarship Fund
The MIHOA Membership has been a key supporter of The Bill McKenna Memorial Scholarship Foundation. This crazy year (to say the least) has left us without a vehicle to allow MIHOA Members to donate a game fee and “Skate a Game for Bill” - until now. Here is a link that you can use to access a donation page that can easily be filled out to tell us what game fee you would like to donate to the Foundation.
https://www.mckennascholarship.com/donate
The Foundation does plan on having a Golf Tournament this year and hopefully the Tim Peel Camp will also exist to help raise funds. We did award scholarships to 5 individuals and could again use your help to allow us to award funds this season.
I appreciate the heartfelt support MIHOA Members have given in the past to the McKenna Foundation. This program is unique to ice hockey referees and demonstrates a commitment to our young officials that we do care about their futures.
As always, thank you so much for your continued support!

Note from Don Arias MIHOA Youth VP
Per Missouri Hockey Youth Division please make sure that we are playing 12-12-13 minute periods for all Mo Hockey Youth Peewee and Bantam exhibition and league games. Teams do not get to huddle prior to the start of the first period. After warm ups the starting five players must immediately take their place for start of the game. Teams do not get to huddle after the first period; we have an immediate face off to start the second period after the conclusion of the first period. This is the same process we followed last year. This would not apply for tournaments such as big bear and ultimate. This only applies to Mo hockey exhibition games, friendlies, and league games. Please discuss this with the coaches before the game or during warmups to ensure they are all on same page.
