Humber Valley Old-Timers, Murray Dryden Division

The first full season commenced in September, 1989. In establishing the Humber Valley Old-Timers division, the Humber Valley Hockey Association took the opportunity to pay special recognition to Murray Dryden (see The Dryden Family

The Humber Valley Old-Timers is a recreational league for players 45 years of age and over and is a non-contact league. Each season the teams are balanced to achieve the greatest possible equity among all participants. At the end of each season, a drafting procedure establishes the team rosters for the following season.

The Humber Valley Old-Timer Division is financially self-sustaining. Its budget is established independently of the Humber Valley Hockey Association and it operates in a manner which allows revenue to be generated each year. It is the objective of the Humber Valley Old-Timer Division to use some portion of the excess revenue for the purpose of funding charitable and worthwhile endeavours such as Sleeping Children Around the World. This division has become a meaningful addition to the activities of the Humber Valley Hockey Association. Its philosophy is consistent with the theme of "Hockey for Fun and Fitness". It is a natural continuation of a process which allows participants to enjoy their love for the great game of hockey.
