Passion | Aptitude | Discipline
The PAD Program is an off-ice development initiative by Capreol Minor Hockey Association (CMHA), designed to support our players as athletes and individuals. Rooted in the values of Passion, Aptitude, and Discipline, the program encourages leadership, accountability, and respect—on and off the ice.
