I have been actively involved in many sports in this great city for over 30 years. My first love has always been ice hockey where I have spent part of the last 10 years coaching many kids(including my 3 sons) in the Orleans Minor Hockey Association. But some 20 years ago a great friend of mine introduced me to another sport: organized ball hockey. I've been addicted to this great sport ever since. I have played, coached and refereed ball hockey in almost every league that has existed in this area. My passion for the game, my enthusiasm for giving back to the kids(and older kids!) of this community and my constant desire to develop friendships has led to the creation of the OBBHA. Along with my 2 friends, John and Jason, I promise to work at making the OBBHA leagues the best sport experience around. |

John Struthers
President

Born in 1962. My first love was playing ball hockey on the streets of Montreal and Ottawa. While living in Grenada, West Indies….I even taught the locals a version of ball hockey on the beaches! Currently, I am a private consultant with my own business specializing in government and public relations. I was President of the West End Ball Hockey League (based out of Merivale Arena) from 1991 to 2004. I am very excited to join the OBBHA team and create something special for the ball hockey world.

Jason Prevost
President
Youth League |

As a full time Phys. Ed. teacher at Franco-Cite and Director of player development for the Ottawa 67’s AAA Hockey Association, I can assure you that ball hockey is the next big thing in youth development. I’m a full time promoter of fitness with aspirations of implementing ball hockey, not only in the schools, the city and the country, but to see it one day become an Olympic sport. With my academic background in human kinetics, education, sports physiology and coaching combined with my passion for the game of hockey, the delivery of ball hockey could not come at a better time. As the President of the youth league, I am looking forward to generating a positive ball hockey experience for young athletes of all ages. |
