Skate Sharpening Benefit
 
Phil Ambis of Ambis Industries has made a generous offer as his way of supporting TGHA!  If you take TGHA players' skates to Phil for sharpening and identify yourself as part of TGHA (he has a list in his shop), he will give TGHA $2.00 of every $7.00 sharpening fee he charges.  Ambis Industries is on Willow Avenue on the other side of the railroad tracks from Rt. 13 heading to the public golf course.  Park in The Haunt's parking lot near the fence door near the door of his shop.  Phil builds skate sharpening equipment as well as sharpens individual's skates. Please be respectful of his generosity to donate only when sharpening the girls' skates this season. Thanks Phil!
 
Editor Needed
 
Is there a parent volunteer who is good at editing digital photos? We have some available from the tournament and will be taking more all season.  An editor is needed to help put them in formats that can be used to recruit new hockey players and to celebrate the season, etc.  Let Carol Mullins or Mary Grainger know if you could work on this in 2006.
 
Lakeshore Fitness Center Offer
 
Lakeshore Fitness Center in The RINK is proud to offer TGHA the introductory rate of four months for only $99 for adults, and only $75 for youth ages 14 up.  This new state of the art fitness center has Life Fitness Cardio equipment, Hammer Strength weight training equipment, Group fitness classes, and Certified trainers! Visit for a free trial workout soon!
 
Friday December 9 is the annual "Skate with the Big Red"
 
Join the Cornell Hockey Association family and friends and the Big Red men's hockey team and coaches from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at Lynah. Watch a skills competition and then join the team on the ice for a fun time of skating and pictures.
 

Cub Club Message

 

Hello Cubbies,

 

Thanks to everyone who donned a raincoat and came to last week’s Pairing Ceremony. We had a wonderful turnout and I hope all of you had fun meeting your Big Sisters. While we have no official functions this month you should feel free to get together with your Big Sister or just call to say hello as they are studying for exams and taking a few days off for the holidays.

 

The Cornell Team returns to Lynah Rink on Friday, December 30th for a pair of games against Bemidji State. I hope to see all of you there.

 

Our next organized event is Bowling Night! It will be held on January 3, 2006 at the Helen Newman lanes on North Campus. The time is 6-8 PM. No hockey gear required.

 

Enjoy your holidays!

David
