Minnesota Special Hockey - Garment Order due by December 7

The Minnesota Special Hockey home page has a link midway down to a garment order form (PDF). Complete it and mail it to Jane Cashin per the address on the form.

The hooded sweatshirt is $52. The one I have is a few years old, it was very well made.

Bielenberg Arena scoreboard controller instructions

These pictures show the Bielenberg Arena scoreboard controller and the instructions for operating it. I took these hastily with my phone camera; I might get better pictures later.

Brave volunteers who help with scoreboard control may want to print these out and review them prior to games. Click on the thumbnail for a full-size image.

Eagles team picture Dec 4 and unofficial picture Dec 12

Official Picture

The official Eagles Team picture will be taken Saturday December 4th at 8am. Players need to be fully dressed and at the Bielenberg multipurpose facility by 7:45 AM (15 min early). For most players this means arriving there by 7:20AM.

1) Photos will be taken at Beilenberg in the multipurpose again this year.

2) Photos will be taken by Sunshine Photography again this year.

3) Order forms will be ready AFTER the photos are taken.

4) Please have your team there and ready 15 min's prior to the photo time. 5) ALL PLAYERS SHOULD COME DRESSED. We will only have one locker room available for all teams. It gets very crowded and items get lost with four teams useing it at once. We will not have any locker room in the afternoon at all.

Unofficial Picture

We expect some players will be unable to make the official picture. John Faughnan will do unofficial Team and Individual Pictures during practice December 12th. Print orders will be taken and digital versions will be made available for downloading. JF will try to offer sport mugs too. Note John F is an amateur photographer taking pictures in awful arena lighting. The official pictures will be significantly better.

Advice and Tips for the new season

Practices are starting for many teams, please check your team site for more information (ex: Eagles).

This is a good time to review the MN SH Advice and Tips page. Webmaster Jane has links to material from our old site, including an equipment fitting guide, a pre-practice/game checklist, and a wiki on coaching for special hockey. I've just added a link to some MN Hockey Skills videos to the coaching page.

See you on the ice!

Register now - prefer this weekend!

The registration deadline is closing in.  Please spread the information to your teams that we would really like all registrations in before Monday, Nov. 1^st.  

This includes coaches registration.  No one will be allowed on the ice without these forms completed.

You all know that you can sign up late… but why wait?   I am asking for these to make my life (and Cindy’s) easier.  Everything gets a bit busier when the season gets going.  Also, we cannot ensure new or replacement jerseys for anyone that signs up late.

Follow the instructions at www.mnspecialhockey.org.

Thanks,

Jane Cashin
