Parents and players,
Our team has officially been registered to participate in the 20th annual Hockey For Hospice tournament, being held from Sunday December 27 through Tuesday December 29, across 3 potential arenas
We have
enough to roster a team, while we have a few players that are
finalizing holiday plans and cannot commit 100% at this point.
All players will be on the active roster and be able to play
- in order to facilitate those families that don't know if they can
commit just yet, there is never a worry if your child can or cannot play
- if plans change this is one less thing to worry about!
Furthermore, I've been given approval to "AP" (alternate player) some players from the Tyke Division
Our AP players have been finalized:
Brayden Lappalainen
Kaleb Trojand
Justin Phillips
All AP players are welcome to participate in our practices as well as our upcoming mini game event to further team building and let them get to know each other
Over the next few weeks, I will be making an effort to "plug in" an AP for a game, these Tyke players have never truly experienced a real game with full ice (offsides, face-off lineups, icing, etc)

If there is anything the coaching staff can do to help facilitate ride
arrangements, please let me know and we'll make it work!
There are incentives for top pledges
- the coaching staff is encouraging 100% participation and while we've discussed with the team about what Hospice is, if you haven't
already done so, please speak with your children about Hospice and their
role - the local story in Michigan involving Chad Carr is something
that may resonate a little bit - all we ask is for everyone to do their
best, for a great cause
I have taken care of the registration payment upfront, for each player I'd ask for $10 and kick some butt on those pledges
All monies will be handled by Coach Jeremy
As a team, we need to get to a minimum of $850 to offset costs, lets bury that number!
Further information (game times and venues) will be available a few days after registration closes (Dec 7th) - I will pass that info along as soon as I have it
