Happy
Thanksgiving
We
hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday this week!
At
this time of giving thanks, it is good to remember that every one of our
coaches is a volunteer. Players and parents can show their thanks to these
great people and to TGHA every week with their cooperation on and off ice,
but they can also plan special gestures of thanks as individuals or as teams.
THANKS
to Vicky, Lita, John, Steve, Pete, Brittany, Matt, Madeline, Karen, Joy, Diane,
Joel, Ed, Beth, Becky, Maya, Dave, Tony, Karen, Dave, Chris, John, Dave, Mike,
Ron, and anyone else who has recently become a coach for one of TGHA's teams.

While
we are giving thanks, put New York State Amateur Hockey Association (NYSAHA) on
your list! NYSAHA purchased the 40 sets of hockey equipment that is
available for use by associations like TGHA when we run events like Try Girls
Hockey and Put the Biscuit in the Net. The equipment is in large bags in our
storage area and it travels around NYS in a small trailer that The RINK is
storing for us until the next users come and get it. (We also give thanks for
Carol Mullins and Jean Goodwin for helping us get it from an
Tournament
Volunteers
Preparations
are underway for the Ithaca Shooting Stars Invitational Tournament, November
30-December 2. The game schedule is on our web site under Tournaments at www.ithacagirlshockey.com (and
on the home page if you scroll down to the link), but there will be great
spectating almost all the time at The RINK Friday at 1:00 through Sunday
morning, and at many hours at Cass Park. Championship games will be at
Lynah Rink on Sunday at 8:30, 9:55, 11:35, and 1:15. Scores will be
posted during the weekend if you want to see how the
The
RINK lobby will feature raffle baskets with many great items donated by
Shooting Stars families and our friends and sponsors. Anyone in TGHA can
buy chances to win as well will our guests from the 21 out of town girls hockey
teams coming to town. Chuck a Puck will be played between the 2nd and 3rd
period of each RINK game, too--if you don't know what it is, all the more
reason to come and play! There is NO admission to spectate, but the
tournament program will be on sale.
TGHA
parents are requested to fill many volunteer slots during the weekend.
The three travel team parents are filling most of them, but there will be some
openings which can be filled by other parents and by TGHA alumni (over 18
players or player parents). The remaining openings will be announced in a TGHA
All message next week, but if you know when you'd like to help, contact Matt
Ulinski at mattulinski@verizon.net, 257-5600.
Thanks
for helping!
Coffee Orders
The
first round of coffee orders were delivered on Monday and Tuesday; thanks
Barbara Horton!
There's
two weeks until the next orders are due--December 4. Forms can be
downloaded from the web (scroll down the home page content) and handed in
before December 4 (VP House Karen has some copies of the forms and can collect
at Initiation/House/Recreation practices, Travel Team managers or other
volunteers will collect for them.) for delivery for use at the holidays or to
use as gifts. TGHA receives $3.50 for every bag sold.
