Welcome
to More Newcomers!
More email
addresses were added this weekend for new members of TGHA. Welcome!
TGHA Updates
will come into your email box, but you may also use our web site and our
bulletin boards for current info; boards are maintained at Cass and The RINK or
visit www.ithacagirlshock
If your family
has additional email addresses you would like to receive TGHA emails, send a
message to mmgithaca@aol.
We are seeking
some Initiation parents to buddy up with some families who don't use email; let
VP House Karen know. skemuck@yahoo.
It is advisable
to 'register' with yahoogroups. This is NOT
getting a yahoo address. It is creating a yahoo ID and password so that
you can enter the password protected areas including the Message Archives for
TGHA-All.

Cub Club
Signups by Tuesday
ATTENTION
PARENTS of newcomers to Initiation and House!!!
Last Chance before the 'pairing ceremony' to join the Cub Club!
We would like to give everyone one last opportunity to sign up for the
2007-2008 Cub Club.
I know that there was alot going on at the open
house, so if you were interested in Cub Club but didn't sign up that night
here's your chance.
If your new to TGHA and dont know whats
involved with being a member of the Cub Club here's a brief summary.
Your daughter will be paired up with a "big sister/mentor" who is a
member of the Cornell Womens Hockey Team! They get to
experience hockey at the collegiate level and make a new friend who is a
positive role model, and with any luck the Cornell player gets a lasting
relationship with a local family they may otherwise never have met.
They have fun get togethers with the Cornell Women
such as movie night at Lynah, and bowling at
Helen Newman, and depending on your individual preference You may choose to
invite your new big sister to participate in activities outside the program ie; invite them to dinner, have them attend your practices,
the possibilities are endless.
The girls have the chance to be honorary stick girls and get introduced on the
ice at Cornell Womens home games, and if they wish
they can don the bear costume and skate in front of the fans between periods!
All Cub Club members get FREE admission to Cornell Womens
Hockey home games!
And the cost for all of this? There is none! It's all
included in your regular season fees!
We would like to finalize our list and schedule the pairing ceremony soon, so
if your interested in signing up please contact Wayde Whittaker no later than Tuesday November 6th. He can
be reached at 387-3577 or wmw9@cornell.
Recreational
Hockey for Girls
On Thursday,
Nov. 1, one of the Ithaca Sirens who has also been an IYHA coach, came on the ice with
the two currently registered players for "Recreation"
Another option
for girls of this age group is to skate with the coed IYHA Recreation Program which
began October 29. It continues on Mondays from
The Recreation Program is a weekly fun scrimmage for IYHA
players Pee Wees through Midgets, Travel, UNY,
If you are a TGHA player who is already registered with USA Hockey, you will
need to complete the IYHA registration forms located
on the IYHA website. You may hand the forms and
check to Rick at the session: www.ithacayouthhock
If you've never participated in the recreation program, stop by and check this
out. We've been having a blast the past couple of years with this.
No drills, no coaches, no leagues, no trophies, we use the scoreboard, but like
"Whose Line Is It Anyway?", the points mean nothing.....

Beginner Hockey for Women?
Did you see the
cover story of American Hockey magazine?! More and more moms of hockey
players are learning the sport as adults.
TGHA could
decide to use part of the ice during the Recreation girls' ice times on
Thursday for beginner women to learn the basics (before they'd be ready to play
with the Recreation girls or with the Ithaca Furies or Sirens).
If you'd like to
learn to play ice hockey (whether this year on Thursdays or some other time in
the future), send an email to TGHA0708@yahoo.
