End of Regular Season...
Hello Parents,Can't believe that this Saturday's game will mark the end of our regular season. We have had a great year on the ice.
. The kids have worked very hard and have gelled great as teammates. This is a very unique group of skill, gender, and experience. The staff has gauged our successes based on little victories throughout the year - and our team continues to do well in those. The playoff scheduling meeting is on the 28th and we will know after that when we start, I expect we should see another 8-10 games as they will likely split the league into bottom 4 and top 5 and play home-and-away with everyone. I won't know for sure until then.
Seaforth - I am really looking forward to that weekend. I understand not everyone will be staying, and not everyone staying will stay Friday. With this in mind we will try to organize a team lunch on Saturday and then a team dinner Saturday night. I was thinking Sandwich buffet on for Lunch and then doing Pizza or Wings or something like that for Dinner. I expect as part of the group staying on Friday night, we will organize ourselves. Try to get your kids a good supper on Thursday and early to bed if possible that weekend. We will have an MVP award to give out for the tournament - meant to go to the hardest working most honest player on our team - so kids should strive for that individual goal, while the team kicks some butt!

Lines - we have juggled folks a bit lately - and we will be missing EVB this weekend - but I am pretty pleased with the groupings and how everyone is willing to play with anyone - forwards continue to be hardest working players on the ice - defense continue to jump up and play with confidence.
Sarnia - Major thanks to Tim Hamilton - everyone had a blast and it turned out to be a great game and I was really thrilled to see the kids all interacting.
Mikaela's tubing - all attending are really looking forward to this - should be fun.
Videos - latest one was on Stick-Handling - although we had our 3-D projection as Jack demonstrated everything. The kids still seam to like those so we'll fit in a few more.
Keep your Stick on the Ice....
