June 7, 2013 – The Ontario Hockey Association took centre stage this afternoon at the Hockey Hall of Fame when they honored their 2012-13 Award winners in the TSN Theatre.

The historic 20^th year of presentations by the OHA was one that many will not soon forget. Award recipients along with their family, friends and team officials and special guests gathered to celebrate the 2012-13 accomplishments by the winners over the past season.

Marking their sixth year at the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Master of Ceremonies for the OHA Awards this year was the host of TSN’s “That’s Hockey Tonight,” Steve Kouleas. Taking on the MC duties at this year’s awards presentation, Kouleas did a fantastic job, poking fun at the OHA, award winners and even himself with light hearted jokes and fantastic one liner’s that had everyone enjoying themselves throughout the afternoon.

The OHA wishes to extend their sincere congratulations to all of the 2012-13 Award winners, their teams and their families. The 2012-13 season was one for the record books and it will not soon be forgotten.
