the Word!
Girls of all

On October 22, TGHA coaches and players will be on hand to introduce girls and
their parents to the sport before they go on the ice. Free skate rentals
will be available and there will be hockey equipment to borrow for the evening.
Fun activities are planned to help them get a feel for playing hockey before
deciding to start in TGHA's Initiation program for
beginners. "Try Girls Ice Hockey" is scheduled for
"Open House" is the traditional kickoff (or face off!) for the TGHA
year. New and continuing skaters participate in this social event from
TGHA offers a progression of instructional and competitive experiences
beginning with Initiation (offered once or twice a week for girls ages 4 and
up). Girls then advance to the House League after one or more years in
Initiation. After developing basic skills in Initiation and House, some
girls choose to join a travel team at the 12U, 14U, 16U or 19U age level.
Girls who are not interested in playing on an Ithaca Shooting Stars travel team
can participate in recreational hockey. Some become coaches or referees
as well.
TGHA offers scholarships and operates a used equipment loan program. New
TGHA members benefit from the special mentoring program called 'Cub Club'.
The Cornell Women's Hockey team members are "Big Red Sisters" to the
youngest girls hockey players in the "Cub
Club".
Information on all aspects of the program and the fees can be obtained by
checking <www.ithacagirlshockey.com> or by contacting 539-6920, TGHA0708@yahoo.com.
October
13 Take A Shot at Hockey
TGHA and IYHA have partnered to offer a special event for
prospective hockey players on Saturday, Oct. 13,
Cornell Hockeyfest Oct. 21
Cornell Hockeyfest! What promises to be a great day and hopefully
the start of a new tradition for hockey lovers of all ages! Cornell women's
hockey coach Doug Derraugh has planned a full day of
fun for both the die-hard hockey fan and those who haven't discovered the joy
of our beloved sport yet.
On
I would like to
have some volunteers, be it the girls or parents to help run some off ice
activities in the Ramin Room. We would like to do
three stations, one for slapshots with a radar gun,
one for accuracy with Cornells
shooter tutor, and a stickhandling course.
Along with that
we will have a table for TGHA info and a Cub Cub
display. If you have any ideas or would like to help out please call or email Wayde Whittaker. WMW9@cornell.edu or call
327-1588. Help to make this a successful day and
expose TGHA to as many new people as possible.
Stay tuned for
more information as we work out the details, but for now
some of the planned events are:
Shooting Stars girls hockey game to watch in the morning
Poster(or jersey, stick, etc.) signing by the women's
team
Lots of off-ice activities in the Ramin room late
a.m. pregame
Food and drinks
Raffles
Women's hockey
game at
Special t-shirt package for sale; $25 gets you a Cornell hockey
tee and season tickets to womens hockey.
Thats all for now but please
let me know if you would like to help on the 21st so I know how much we can
do! Thanks, Wayde
