**Announcement to the Western Valley Minor Hockey Association Families and Players**

Dear Western Valley Minor Hockey Association Family,

I hope this message finds you well. After many rewarding years serving as your President, I have submitted my resignation following my recent appointment as the President of the U13 AAA league with Hockey Nova Scotia for the 2024-25 season. 

It is with great confidence that I announce David McDow as the new interim President for the upcoming 2024-25 season. David brings a wealth of experience and dedication to this role, and I am certain he, along with the rest of the Executive and Board, will lead our association with the same passion and commitment that have been the hallmarks of our community.

As your outgoing President, I want to express my heartfelt thanks for the support, cooperation, and friendship you have all shown me over the years. It has been an honor to serve you and work alongside such an incredible group of individuals.

While I am stepping into a new role, I remain committed to the Western Valley Minor Hockey Association. I will be here to assist David and the new Executive team during this transition and beyond, ensuring that the values and vision we have all worked so hard to cultivate continue to thrive.

Please join me in extending your full support to David McDow and the Executive as they steer our association through the coming months. I have every confidence that together, we will continue to build on the strong foundation we've established.

Thank you all for your ongoing dedication to our players and our community.

Sincerely,  

Wayne Fowler  

Outgoing President, Western Valley Minor Hockey Association  

President, U13 AAA League, Hockey Nova Scotia
