The OHF Awards Program began at the 2001 Annual General Meeting of the Federation. The following awards have continued to be presented on an annual basis with the exception of the OHF Life Membership Award. The OHF encourages each Member Partner to submit nominations.
BILL RICHMOND MEMORIAL AWARD
In 1996, the OHF established the Bill Richmond Memorial Award to recognize outstanding achievement and involvement in the area of hockey development within the Ontario Hockey Federation. For over 20 years, Mr. Richmond was a leader in the development and delivery of the National Coaches Certification Program (NCCP). He passed away suddenly in 1995, but left a legacy of hard work and commitment to the development of the game in our Branch.
