We are moving in on the end of another hockey season and regardless of how our teams do in their District playoffs or end of year Tournaments it is clear that the Girl’s Program has had an outstanding and successful year. Our teams have been outstanding in their ability to compete, teams and individuals have developed greater skills, and the feed back is that all are enjoying the season.
While we don’t measure the success of our year by wins alone, it is fun to note that this weekend all of our girl’s teams currently in District Playoffs (U14A, U12A, U12B) have an opportunity to either win their Districts Tournament outright, or at a minimum are in a great position to move on to Regional play. If you get a chance to, please go and support our Teams this weekend.
Due to the outstanding effort of our Tournament Director, volunteers, and parents our Holiday and Roses Tournaments were a great success this year. While there were hurdles to overcome to make these tournaments a success we were able to get over those hurdles with the help of those who volunteered and put in extra time and effort to ensure our tournaments were a success. The Girl’s HAB would like to extend our thanks to everyone for your time and effort in helping to put on these tournaments which provide a showcase for our girl’s talents in a home town tournament.
Over the past several seasons we have attempted to deliver a great hockey experience to your girls while keeping the cost down as best we could. We have accomplished this by extending the use of jerseys for another year, reducing ice cost by sharing more ice hours, putting all of our teams in the Duluth tournament as our out of town tournament, and by minimizing additional add on registration costs.
We are dedicated to continue delivering a high quality hockey experience while keeping the cost down. Based on the success of our tournaments over the past two years the Girl’s program is in a position to be able to continue to keep costs down by eliminating or at least reducing one or more line item registration cost next year. This is of course only possible due to the support of our volunteers and members, so again thank you for your continued efforts and support.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL TEAMS AND THANK YOU FOR A GREAT YEAR!!
