It is with deep sadness that the BGHA shares the loss of Canada's hockey dad, Walter Gretzky, who passed away March 4th, 2021.
Walter's dedication to youth hockey and charities (CNIB) was endless. 
Every year, Walter was the greatest supporter of the BGHA's Walter Gretzky Tournament.  Each day of the tournament he was at the WGSC arena encouraging and cheering for girls hockey while posing for pics and signing autographs.
His amazing generosity of his time was met with such excitement by all the players.

Attention members
Recently there have been incidents of email-based impersonation scams.  This is where a cyber-criminal uses the email of another person to request that you send money.  These incidents have occurred using the names of some of our Board members.

If you do receive one of these emails, do not send money but please notify Lisa of the email.
