"The OHA Level 3 Trainer course is a great opportunity to refresh skills required to be a trainer at all levels. This course gives you the opportunity to meet and work alongside other trainers. Learning through shared experiences and working together really gives you the peace of mind that you will be able to respond appropriately.” – Sarah Ditmars, 2016 OHA Level 3 Trainers Clinic participant and 2016-17 OHA Trainer of the Year (OJHL/Trenton Golden Hawks)
