New women's league launches this fall


The Hockey News
9/27/2007 11:23:09 AM

Mere months after one of only two women's elite hockey organizations in Canada shut its doors, TheHockeyNews.com has learned a new league has been created to take its place.
And this time, the players themselves have taken matters into their own hands.

Created and organized by local volunteer businesspeople and veteran Canadian Olympic Team members such as Jennifer Botterill and Sami Jo Small, the Canadian Women's Hockey League (CWHL) will begin its season this fall with seven teams based out of Ontario and Quebec. It replaces the eastern division of the National Women's Hockey League, which suspended operations in May due to ongoing financial and structural woes.

"What makes this league different is that many of the teams will be supported by the girls' minor hockey associations in the communities in which the teams are located," Small told TheHockeyNews.com.


The CWHL will kick off its inaugural campaign with two teams in
Montreal, one in Ottawa, and four in the Greater Toronto Area.

 

Volunteers Needed

We've filled the Board positions and some key volunteer slots (THANKS!), but there are still more volunteers needed to make our 2007-2008 season a successful one:

Tournament Committee - We need a group who will run this year's Ithaca Shooting Stars Invitational Tournament  to be held Nov. 30-Dec. 2.  This is an annual classic event of TGHA's which only happens through the dedication and hard work of TGHA volunteers. With the tournament we raise funds that support the entire association while offering an opportunity for teams to play and for spectators to view our sport.

Adult Education- Remember Carol's great sessions that everyone needed to take this past season? Each year all adults (volunteers and parents, new and continuing) need to participate in Adult Education so we need someone to head it up this year.

Open House and Banquet - Need I say more?  We need someone (or a committee) to help run these two annual events with us.

35th Anniversary Celebration  - This is TGHA's 35th Anniversary. If someone has ideas on how we could celebrate this, it is a great way to bring attention to what TGHA stands for and to help keep our alumni involved and connected.

Marketing Committee- Do you have ideas about how to get the word out about TGHA to prospective members? Are you able to help distribute information to places where girls go in your community?

If you are interested in any of these roles, please contact Mary Grainger (MMGIthaca@aol.com) or Matt Ulinski (mattulinski@verizon.net) or call with questions Mary's numbers are below, and Matt's house is 257-5600.
