The Georgetown Hockey Heritage Council is pleased to announce the recipient for this year's Hockey Heritage Award.
Lindsay Oliver.
Lindsay has been synonymous with girls hockey for the past 20 years, but has been involved for many. Starting with her playing days with the Orangeville Sweethearts, Lindsay developed her love of the game through hard work and dedication on the ice.
Not being able to play didn’t keep Lindsay away from the game. In 1993, as she was recovering from a second knee injury, she took on a coaching role in the house league and has never looked back.
Moving from trainer to assistant and finally Head Coach in Orangeville for the Bantam AA and Midget BB teams from 2002-04, Lindsay was hooked.
This is when Lindsay moved to work with the North Halton Girls Hockey Association. In 2004 Linday was the Assistant Coach with the Pee Wee B Twisters but was also the liaison with the North Metro Girls Hockey league. Moving from Assistant Convenor to Head Convenor with the NMGHL from 2004-2007 Lindsy continued her high-level involvement.
From 2006-2010 Lindsay was the Tournament Coordinator for the Twisters. Anyone who knows anything about being a tournament coordinator will know what kind of dedication that takes.
Then, Lindsay took it a step further and became the President of the NHGHA, guiding the Twisters organization from 2011-2016.
Moving back behind the bench Lindsay, from 2016 – 2021 Lindsay was the Head Coach of the Twisters Novice C, A; Atom AA, U11AA, U13A.
In 2022 Lindsay took on the Head Coaching duties for the U18AA squad and continues to be their head coach today.
