KMHA - History

The Kanata Minor Hockey Association was established in 1979, the year following the incorporation of the City of Kanata  when the Mayor, Marianne Wilkinson directed the two existing Minor Hockey Associations, Glen Cairn MHA (President, John Elkin) and March Townships MHA (President, Ken McLean) to merge. John Elkin was elected as KMHA’s first President.  At the 1995 ODMHA AGM, Melan Sapp, President KMHA tabled a motion that was seconded by Chuck Riordan, Chair District 4 establishing Kanata as a full status District. The motion passed and Kanata became District 11 of the ODMHA. Melan Sapp was the first District Chair.
