Robert Freeland, better known as Coach Bobby to all who knew him, left a profound positive image in everything that he touched.  He was the ultimate player, coach, friend, father and husband.  He passed away peacefully in June 2006.

In his honor, USA Hockey's Pacific District has created the:

BOB FREELAND HOCKEY GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT

This program, The Bobby Freeland Growth & Development Grant, epitomizes what Bobby stood for.  He was always looking for ways to “grow the game” in any way he could.  This program will keep that spirit alive.  Use this grant wisely and his legacy will be carried on forever. 

OSHA is pleased to support teams and development through the block grants available each year. In 2006-2007, OSHA provided funds to the Rogue Valley Youth Hockey Association fielded a Midget U18 team in the 2006-2007 season.

Each year OSHA is proud to send some of its best players to Regional and District Select Camps. Both male and female players have the opportunity to try-out and/or apply for the privilege of representing OSHA and all Oregon players at these events.

This year, the following players have been selected by OSHA.
