Americans Shining in Orangeville

The GMHL would like to recognize the contributions of the Orangeville Americans in their community. Over the course of this season, the Americans have made it a priority to give back to their town through donations, appearances and support of the local businesses and charities.

The following are two examples that have been highlighted in Orangeville’s local newspapers:

Greenbacks
Orangeville Banner, December 5, 2012
“The Orangeville Americans Junior A hockey team of the Greater Metro Hockey League (GMHL) were recently presented a cheque worth $2,174.93 from Scotiabank's First Street branch. The Orangeville location matched the amount raised by the hockey club's charity game held on Oct. 27, which raised money for Prostate Cancer Canada.”

Giving Back
Bryan Lockhart - Orangeville Citizen, December 13, 2012
“The Orangeville Americans Junior A Hockey Club stepped away from the ice to help the Orangeville Foodbank during a successful food drive on Friday, December 7, and Sunday, December 8. Team players gathered in front of the Walmart store Orangeville to receive donations. The club also raised $500 in cash donations which they then used to puchase additional food items. The Americans gather in the lobby of the Ice Coralat Teen Ranch with just a small sample of the food they managed to collect during the food drive.”
