There are still five player jerseys available for sponsorship - if you are interested, please email Suzanne at 640-460 right away with best phone number to contact you - deadline is Thursday evening 5/7 as jerseys go to press on Friday, 5/8.

You come to think of that

You come to think of that coaches in professional teams are simply what the teams are based on, without a great coach no team has ever touched the pinnacle of success. Alex Ferguson is the greatest of them all having coached Manchester United for over 2 decades and that club is just beyond belief. The coach is the mentor to his players egging them to perform like there's no tomorrow.

Ice hockey is played on a large flat area of ice, using a three inch (76.2 mm) diameter vulcanized rubber disc called a puck. This puck is often frozen before high-level games to decrease the amount of bouncing and friction on the ice. The game is contested between two teams of skaters. The game is played all over North America, Europe and in many other countries around the world to varying extent. It is the most popular sport in Canada, Finland, Latvia, the Czech Republic, and in Slovakia.
