Update 1/15/11: We will have four teams. That means that anyone who would like to join can -- even if you originally said no or didn't respond. Thanks Jane for setting this up!
Please let your team manager know if your or your player will be attending the disabled hockey tournament. Jane Cashin writes ...
The USA Disabled Festival is fast approaching. We need to determine how many teams from MN Special Hockey are going to participate in the tournament. In order to do that, we need an RSVP from ALL of our players.
Please contact your team coach or manager to let them know if you will be participating or not. If you do not reply we will assume that you are NOT participating. This reply is necessary by Wednesday, January 13th.
A bit of information:
Where: Blaine Super Rink (most, if not all, games will be on the main 4 sheets of ice).
Dates: Friday, April 1st – Sunday April 3rd. There will be games during the day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Cost: None, MN Special Hockey is paying the registration fees.
Teams: This depends on the RSVPs, we hope to keep teams together while still trying to create ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’ level teams.
Special Event: MN Special Hockey is hosting a social event after the Open Ceremonies at the rink on Friday night for all of the participants. There will be food, beverages, pin trading, and a DJ. This is a great opportunity of make new friends and have fun with your teammates.
Coaches: They have all committed to spending the weekend up in Blaine and are very excited about it!
The group of us that travelled out to Maryland for this festival last April had a blast. It created many memories for us, we talk about it all of the time. The Cashin Family will never miss one of these tournaments again.
