Girls/Women's Hockey in News
Below is the link to last week's Ithaca Journal story featuring a large
headline announcing TGHA alumna Liz Yale-Loehr's
college hockey team's success as the NCAA Division III Champions! The
Ithaca Furies women's team just returned from the Brampton Canadettes
annual Easter tournament (the world's largest girls and women's hockey event!)
with a silver medal in their division. Kelly Pike, Cornell alumna and
former TGHA coach, will be hosting an adult women's hockey tournament in late
May; stay tuned.

Many Summer Camps and Clinics
There is no way to include in this e-newsletter or on the TGHA web site
information on all available summer ice hockey camps and clinics! One
good source is the most recent issue of American Hockey magazine that all
current TGHA members should be receiving (and this information is accessible at
www.usahockey.com). Another source
of camp information is from each other; ask other hockey parents and players
for their recommendations (a good use for your TGHA directory, or use your team
email list).
TGHA is hoping to offer some summer ice times but local ice isn't very
available this summer due to Cornell's Lynah Rink
renovations (since Lynah users will be using The
RINK). TGHA members can sign up for coed programming at The RINK;
brochures are available in the lobby. Below is information about a clinic
being held at the newer
Here are the names, dates and contact info for a few camps that have sent their
information to TGHA, although this is not an official endorsement of the camps.

THE BATTLE CAMP: The Signature Pro Ambitions Camp
The Cortland camp is: Aug. 21 - 25, 8:30 - 4:00 pm. They are advertising a
session for mite/squirt and another for peewee/bantam.However, the
organizers tell me that girls of any age are welcome.

The signature Pro Ambitions Camp designed by Jeff to encompass game simulated battles.
Hockey is a series of 1 on 1 battles all over the ice.
Players will leave this camp with awesome skill development, a better
understanding of the game and most importantly - knowing how to battle for
loose pucks. This is also the curriculum that Jeff has copyrighted/trademarked
and sold to many youth hockey organizations
nationwide. He is extremely proud of this unique and necessary conceptual
approach to teaching. It is a compilation of the best advice, drills, and game
theory from his career. This camp is for all levels of players whether you're a
mite b (like his daughter) or a bantam major player. (We suggest you have 1-2
years of active playing under your belt). We are the masters of "Circuit
Training" and small area games, the kids are always moving and always
being corrected with lots of repetitions in a fun and spirited environment whch fosters self confidence and great self esteem. 2500
kids came to our camps last year for a reason: We have the best coaches and
best drills so at the end of the camp you're a better hockey player period!!!
Intimidate and Dominate is a term we like to instill in the kids' heads. We
want players confident in their abilities and reflecting that edgy attitude on
the ice in every drill. We want kids looking like hockey players and
"Showing up" for every drill and looking the opponent in the eye and
showing him/her you mean business. We make you practice better which in turn
makes you play better. Come Kick IceSM with us!!!
5:1 ratio of player to Qualified Coaches (the lowest in the business), ages
7-14 yrs, kids will be grouped by age and ability and
challenged accordingly as well as completely supervised the entire day
(including helping kids tighten skates or help with equipment). Lastly, players
and parents- do not shy away from the word "
