Half Season Initiation Available
 
Half Season Initiation begins with the January 4 ice session, but new girls could 'try hockey' at a December Monday or Thursday if they contact TGHA in advance so someone is sure to greet them.  The fee for twice a week Half Season is $125.  Half time Half season is $75.  All girls need to be registered with USA Hockey, too.  Instructions are on the TGHA web site or can be sent to interested persons.
 
Download Flier to Help Promote
 
As we encourage newcomers to join after the holidays, there are fliers available promoting this.  If you could help hand out fliers at school skating or public skating or figure skating, let Mary know since those venues are often where new hockey players are before joining TGHA!  Indoor soccer is another place where we have recruited beginners in the past! See email and phone below or use the TGHA0607@yahoo.com. Fliers will be available for you to pick up on December 14 at Cass, and it is attached to this message so you can print your own.  Thanks for helping to encourage more girls to play ice hockey!

Vintage Jerseys/Practice Socks for Sale
 
TGHA has discovered some old style (circa 1970s)  'sweaters' worn how the players now wear jerseys and some jerseys (circa 1990s) and some game socks that match the royal blue and gold of these jerseys.  They are on sale to benefit TGHA, and could make special holiday gifts for your player!  Jerseys and socks could be worn for practices. Mary will have them at Cass on Thursday 12/14, or you can reserve by email or phone.  $10 each for sweaters or jerseys and $5 for socks.  (PS The sweaters are almost sold out!)
