2019 AGM Weekend Concludes
London, ON - The 2019 ALLIANCE Hockey AGM, celebrating 26 years of ALLIANCE Hockey, was held May 24-25, 2019 in London, ON.  More than 150 members attended the two-day event which included the annual Golf Classic, Recognition Luncheon, and Annual General Meeting.

The weekend began with the Annual Golf Classic on Friday, May 24th at the FireRock Golf Club in Komoka, ON.
