History
The idea for the formation of a badly needed elite level Midget hockey league came about in the Summer of 2005. This idea quickly moved along to the reality
stage when an announcement was made in the local media that the league was to be a reality and that sponsorship was being sought. Doug Marshall, a tireless
volunteer with St. John’s Minor and the St. John’s Junior Hockey League had passed away just a few months before the announcement of the Midget League and
his family immediately saw an opportunity to get involved. The rest of the story, as they say, is history and the league, now entering its fourth year of
operation, is known far and wide as the Doug Marshall AAA Midget Hockey League, or the DMHL. Doug and Rosemary (Past President of St. John’s Minor and Past
President of the Newfoundland and Labrador Sports Federation) Marshall have committed countless hours over the past 40 years to ensuring that the youth of
the Province have the best possible facilities and organizations within which to play hockey and other sports and it is indeed an honor for the Marshall
family to be so closely associated with the DMHL. To all those who play in the league, coach or manage a team in the league, and to the thousands of
spectators who took in last years fast paced and exciting brand of hockey, we wish you many many years of continued success and growth and best wishes in all
your future endeavors.
