Dave Dunn

Dave Dunn is synonymous with hockey in Orillia and has been a dedicated volunteer at various levels for more than four decades. He is being inducted in the builder’s category. Dunn started coaching his sons’s team and then joined the Orillia Minor Hockey Association executive, where he served in various capacities – including president in the late 1980’s.

He then volunteered with the city’s junior hockey teams in its various iterations – the Orillia Laidlaws, the Orillia Terriers and the Couchiching Terriers – serving in roles from president to OMHA delegate. “Junior hockey wouldn’t happen without guys like (Dunn)”, said Bill Smith, who owned the junior hockey team for many years. “He was always there and always did whatever needed to be done”.
