Sad News

 

The body of 15 year old Andrew Dezio, the missing Perinton youth hockey player, has been found.  It was located in thick brush in a wooded area, one street away from his home.  Cause of death is undetermined at this point but no signs of obvious foul play or trauma.    The youth’s body may have been covered by snow and may have become visible due to the recent thaw.

 

Spring Women's Hockey

 

We received this message from Myra Hubbell (mhubbell@hotmail.com) and Karen Bennett (broganbennett@yahoo.com) for girls age 14 and up (or who are OKed by the organizers):

 

It is that time again to start thinking of Women's Spring league. We are gonna start 1 week earlier (end of March) and only go for 12 weeks - so that we avoid graduation and regents at the end of June. we will also split time between Lynah and the rink to save money. Substitutes will pay $12 per game or $15 for both games.

 

So, if everyone could start recruiting players and possibly sponsors to help. We will try and collect sponsor money by February 28th so that we know how much to collect from players. we also need goalies - even if a goalie wants to play out one game and play goalie the other game. Goalies are free!!!

 

Contact myself or Myra if you have questions.
