Gray

Both the A and B schedules have been updated with games thru 12/31/15.  The rest of the season should be posted in 3-4 weeks.  Thanks.

We are reversing the games that will take place on this Thursday and next Thursday.  The new dates and time are:

Thursday, 9/10 - Gray A vs Orange A

Thursday, 9/17 - Gold A vs White A

 

Captains, please make sure your players are aware of this schedule change.

 

Thank you.

 

We received information from the rink this afternoon letting us know that they have been having problems with the compressor on the North rink and the ice isn't suitable to play tonight so the A game between Teal and Navy this evening has been cancelled and will be rescheduled later in the season.

 

It's important to note that it is possible that the ice problems could effect the games tomorrow and Thursday as well. So please be sure to check the website, email and voicemails before heading out to the games. Paul is attempting to notify the effected teams for tonight.  We apologize for the inconvenience, but it isn't in our control unfortunately.

 

Paul is busy at work confirming players to the teams and assigning the new players to the teams.  I will post that information as soon as I receive it from him.

 

As mentioned previously, the season will start off slowly due to only the North rink being open.  In order to increase satisfaction, we are trying to eliminate 10:15 and 10:30 games this year, which is further slowing the start of the season.  I have posted the schedule that I have received so far and it accessible from the Schedule tab on the right and the games for the upcoming week are always shown on the bottom of the home page.  I am expecting to receive more ice times within the next two weeks or so and once I am receive those and plug the dates and times in I will be posting the games thru the end of the year.

 

If you played last year and haven't confirmed with Paul or your team captain that you are coming back, please make sure to do so ASAP.
