The O.B.H.A. Hall of Fame is a Celebration of Ball Hockey History. It honours both the game of "orange ball" along with it's founders, builders and players who contributed to the growth and development of the sport throughout the years.

The O.B.H.A. was established in 1974. The parade of association's most prominent pioneers, who were first to be enshrined, were led by the founders, Sir John Forrest, Ken White, Paul Coulter and Mike Bernard. These gentlemen were the trailblazers who paved the way for the other notable builders and players who continued their work and who today are all honoured and respected members of the O.B.H.A Hall of Fame.

The O.B.H.A.'s Hall of Fame was established to promote and recognize the performance and outstanding achievements of it's participating members along with the valuable contributions that they have made to the game of ball hockey. Equally as important is the level of professionalism and leadership that the individual has exemplified in maintaining the spirit and integrity of the game as a player throughout the years in the O.B.H.A. respectively.

The OBHA offers various levels of sponsorship support that corporations or individuals can provide, from as simple as sponsorship of childrens' teams in local league play to marquee partnership status with the sport.

The OBHA, established in 1974, is a proud Associate Member of the National Ball Hockey Association of Canada. With some 25,000, aged 6 to 40, playing in registered leagues across our province every summer, the sport is recognized as a growing force in amateur athletics, and clearly represents the grass roots level of hockey because its ease of play and inexpensiveness attracts peoples of all ethnic and economic backgrounds.

Our corporate partners will receive a commemorative plaque, listings in our NBHAC rule books distributed to every team in province, and our web site. Significant contributors will also receive display of their logo on the Team Canada jersey, a game worn jersey after the event, and prominent display in OBHA newsletters, and other promotional/communication materials.

Being a part of the Team Canada family will not only increase your company's pride in our Nation's accomplishments, but will also assure itself of the gratitude and patronage of the tens of thousands of loyal people who play this sport.

Below are only a few ways that we could use your help.
