Thompson Minor Hockey Association hosted the first annual Race to the Rink 5K, 1K and "Discover Hockey" 100m Dash on September 11, 2022. The weather was beautiful, the atmosphere was energetic, and everyone had the best time!!

Thank you to all of the participants who came out to enjoy Race to the Rink! Thank you to the families, friends and community that showed their support and cheered them on.

Thank you to our race day volunteers!!! Liz and Garrett at the check in table and finish line, Jaycee at the equipment swap table, Thompson Kin Club for keeping everyone fed post race, Little Rascals Party Rentals for not one but TWO bouncy houses, Music Makers for the audio equipment, to everyone who helped set up and clean up, and to the entire TMHA Board of Directors for agreeing to this crazy idea! You are all so appreciated!!

Thank you to our sponsors! Without each and everyone one of you, this event would not be possible. UCN was a big support - an “All Star” on our tiered sponsorship system, Vale, Calm Air, True North Sports and Entertainment, Perimeter, McDonald’s, Leo’s Home Decorating, Music Makers and of course Little Rascals Party Rentals and Thompson Kin Club. The support received for Race to the Rink was more than I could imagine. Without sponsorships, in kind donations, food and prize donations, the event would not be the same.

Last but definitely not least, the Norman Northstars, we can’t thank you enough! They swooped in and happily took on almost every single job that would have needed to be filled. What a remarkable group of young men doing their part to give back to their community! Let’s all show our support and appreciation by cheering them on at the TRCC on September 24th for their home opener weekend!!
