Welcome Newcomers 10/17
All girls and parents of Initiation and House are encouraged to attend the Try
Girls Hockey night described below. We will be welcoming new families and
you can help show them how to skate and hold a hockey stick, etc. as well as
how their equipment should fit! You'll get to skate, too! Tell all
your friends to come and 'try girls hockey' with you!
Sunday 10/15 Equipment Closet Open!
It’s that time of year again, and families in need of equipment are welcome to
come and find it from TGHA.
TGHA Equipment will be available for try on and loan on Sunday, October 15 from
Any TGHA player who would like to find some equipment for this season is
welcome to come and try it on. TGHA has skates, pads, jerseys and even
goalie equipment ready to be loaned out for the season.
If you have equipment you borrowed last year that you can return, or some you
would like to donate, Sunday would be a great day for that, too.
For questions or directions, please e-mail Lisa McCutcheon at mclisa@twcny.rr.com
Board Meetings Open to TGHA Membership
Thurs. 10/13 TGHA Board Meeting 7:30 p.m.
Cayuga Heights Fire Station Meeting Room
Wear your TGHA Colors!
On Friday Oct. 14 all members of the TGHA community are encouraged to wear a
hockey jersey or sweatshirt or something else that identifies them as being a
hockey player. Since we have events 10/17 and 10/24 to welcome newcomers
you may find you have a reason to tell people about the events when they ask
you about your cool hockey clothing! While the focus of our recruiting is
elementary and middle school girls, it can help if high school and adults wear
their TGHA Colors, too, since you may find the person next to you in line
during the day has a child, sibling, neighbor, friend who could start playing
hockey this year!
Please help spread the word:
Girls Ice Hockey Events October 17 and 24
Two events are coming up to introduce girls to the sport of ice hockey on
Monday, October 17 and Monday, October 24 at
On October 17, girls who have not played ice hockey before are invited to try
on equipment and participate in a fun
learn-to-play evening run by TGHA President Carol Mullins with help from
members of the Ithaca Shooting Stars teams and the TGHA Initiation and House
League programs.
On October 24, newcomers are invited to the annual TGHA Open Houe. All members of TGHA participate in this
traditional "season kickoff". There will be information on TGHA
programs as well as a chance to skate (no hockey equipment is worn) and to
socialize with other members of the community.
TGHA offers skating lessons for beginning ice hockey players in Initiation as
well as skill development and scrimmages for girls in the House League
program. After participating in these programs,
many girls join the Ithaca Shooting Stars travel teams or other local
ice hockey programs for older girls and young adults who like to play ice
hockey.
TGHA has a generous scholarship program for girls who need assistance with the
fees which are already kept low for all participants. A used equipment
loan program and a relationship with the One to One Big Brother Big Sister
Program help decrease the obstacles to girls
participation.
Newcomers are encouraged to contact Wendy with any questions they have at wendyb@twcny.rr.com, 256- 0669. TGHA's web site is another good source: www.ithacagirlshockey.com.
