Sun 12:45 pm    Initiation Cass Park

 

Stay tuned to your team's yahoogroup for details about weekend plans!

 

Last Practice

 

Tonight are the last practices of the regular season.  While many are glad to turn the calendar to spring activities, many are sad when TGHA concludes the regular season (and in this case when Cass Park closes the rink). Enjoy every minute of it (and stay tuned for off season opportunities).

 

In the display rack with spring Ithaca Youth Bureau brochures are paper copies of the TGHA Banquet flier and the Megan Shull Award nominations.  In addition Matt Ulinski will have decals and caps for sale.

 

Good Luck at States

 

The 14U and 16U Shooting Stars will be competing in their respective state tournaments (NYSAHA Tier 2) in Glens Falls and Ogdensburg, respectively.  Good luck girls and coaches.  Results will be published after the weekend's games.

 

Vote for Topher Daily

Help is needed for the banquet--setting up, helping serve, cleaning up plus greeting at the door/collecting fees, etc. Many hands make light work so please consider how you can help on March 18.
