We have multiple kids involved in LMHA and have always enjoyed the community feel of the association. I’m extremely relational and approachable, and greatly enjoy helping families newer to hockey find their footing. I’ve been a team manager for the past 3 years for hockey teams, as well as an HCSP. I’m currently the 13U age group coordinator and volunteer coordinator for North Langley Baseball. I am a Regional Administrator at a K-12 school, working within the Inclusive Education department. I have a passion for timely, clear and kind communication and would welcome the opportunity to use my skillset in any capacity the association might need.

KIM WRIGHT

I have been a member of LMHA since 2016 and have served on the LMHA Board of Directors since 2022. I wish to continue volunteering as a board member serving all of the athletes, coaches, managers, and families who love hockey as much as my family does. LMHA is committed to developing the future of hockey with our expanding population and I look forward to being part of the team supporting that growth!

KIMBERLEY CREMERS

I have been a volunteer in Langley Minor hockey going into my 6th year and I have enjoyed each of the different roles I have had the pleasure of serving. While being a team manager and treasurer of my two sons’ hockey teams with LMHA for several years; in the past I have also volunteered on a gymnastics board, Operation Red Nose, and was a NCCP coach in gymnastics for national stream athletes. Not only am I a mother of three active children,  ages 14,12, and 10, but I also own and operate an industrial service business. Both my boys have played for LMHA where they started their love for hockey at the H2/U7 levels. My sons both played A2 hockey in the U11 and U13 age groups last season. My daughter has the same drive and passion for gymnastics where she represented team Canada at World’s. I am very pleased to serve as the Division Manager and hope that my previous and current experience in organization  and time management will be an asset to the organization.  I want to do my part to make the LMHA experience as positive as it can possibly be both on and off the ice for every athlete and have the same love for the game as my kids do.

LES TOROK

Member of LMHA Executive for 6 years.

STACEY NASH

My name is Stacey Nash and I have been an LMHA parent since 2021. With over 20 years of professional experience in criminal justice, I have worked as both a probation officer and a local manager. My career has instilled in me a strong sense of integrity, and I am adept at adhering to, enforcing, and interpreting policies and legislation in a fair and consistent manner. Additionally, I have exceptional organizational skills, managing caseloads of up to 60 clients and running an office of 15 staff. These experiences have sharpened my ability to make thoughtful, informed decisions, and navigate complex situations with a calm and effective approach. In addition to my professional background, I have served on the Board of Directors for Fernie Youth Services, a youth-focused nonprofit organization. This role involved working with the executive management team to ensure the provision of safe housing, community reintegration programs, and employment readiness initiatives for youth at risk of being involved in the justice system. My time with Fernie Youth Services has given me invaluable experience in strategic planning, community engagement, and working to improve the lives of young people, which I believe directly aligns with LMHA’s mission of providing a positive and supportive environment for youth in hockey. On a personal note, as a mother of two children actively involved in hockey, I have firsthand experience with the LMHA and a deep appreciation for the organization’s commitment to youth development. My son has been playing with LMHA since he was 6 years old and is now playing his first year of Rep U11 hockey. My daughter is also enjoying her first season of hockey at the age of 5. Over the past four years, I have been an active volunteer and have seen how LMHA positively impacts our community, helping children build confidence, teamwork, and resilience. I want to get involved in LMHA’s governance to give back to the organization that has provided so much to our family. My skills in communication, organization, and leadership, coupled with my experience on a nonprofit board and in youth-focused work, will enable me to contribute effectively to the Board of Directors. I am eager to support LMHA as it continues to provide high-quality programs and services for young athletes in Langley. I believe my combination of professional expertise, community involvement, and passion for youth sports will allow me to be an asset to the board and help LMHA continue to thrive in the years to come.

STEPHANIE LUCKY

With my experience in similar roles and strong organizational background, I believe I can contribute positively to the continued success of the division. In 2019, I had the privilege of serving as the Division Coordinator for North Langley Baseball, where I successfully managed logistics, team coordination, and communication between players, coaches, and parents. Currently I sit on the board as the Minors Division Coordinator. Additionally, I have experience as a Team Manager for multi-sport teams, (cheerleading and hockey) which has honed my leadership and organizational skills in a team environment. As a business owner with several staff members, I also bring strong management and interpersonal skills that are essential for coordinating schedules, handling administrative tasks, and resolving issues as they arise. This year, with my son participating in the u11 rep division, I am eager to bring my experience and enthusiasm to further enhance the player and parent experience within the league. I am confident that my combination of previous experience and passion for sports would make me an excellent fit for this role. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to the continued success of the division.
