Initiation and House Announcement

Initiation and House girls will be playing a short game during the first intermission of the Cornell women's game against Dartmouth this Saturday.  The varsity game begins at 4 pm in Lynah Rink.  Players need to come with their jerseys on and be dressed by the start of the game so that TGHA coaches can assemble lines.  Players may use the locker rooms by the skate rentals to get ready.  After players have double-checked that they have all of their equipment and have checked in with the coaches, they may watch the first 10 minutes of the varsity game.  They can watch from behind the visiting goalie if they are in their skates, or in the stands if they keep their shoes on.  All players need to be back in the locker room with full gear on when there are seven minutes left in the first period.  If you have any questions or concerns, please email Coach Becky Cameron at rsw274@gmail.com prior to Saturday.  If you need to get in contact with her on Saturday, call her cell at  607-591-1424 .  

Don't forget to Bring a Friend to the Rink!!

"Olympic" Hockey Camp

Dear Parents,

The summer of 2009 is going to be the best yet for the GIRLS OLYMPIC ICE HOCKEY CAMP with ProAmbitions! I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know that over the last three summers ProAmbitions Hockey, Inc. has taken over the top spot in the female hockey school market.

I am a medal winning Olympian from the 2006 Olympic Winter Games. And, I am happy to convey that what sets our camp apart from the rest is our staff of coaches and mentors.  Each of our female staff members has exceptional playing credentials and each is now currently coaching at various prep schools & colleges throughout New England.   Current NCAA Div. 1 college hockey players round out our staff of instructors and are training along side your daughters' both on and off the ice daily.

We will again be offering a one, or a two-week option to attend the GIRLS OLYMPIC ICE HOCKEY CAMP at Kents Hill Prep School in Kents Hill, ME.  This is a tremendous facilit y for both on and off ice training. The on-ice curriculum (4 hours daily), and the off-ice training (2 hours daily) will be both challenging, and fun again this summer. The drills, exercises, and teaching points will be focused on making your daughter a better athlete and a better competitor.  She will learn techniques in training and skating that you will be able to take home and master!

In Kents Hill, Maine we enjoy swimming at the lake each and every day, as well as getting off campus and seeing the occasional movie. Along with our stick handling and shooting gallery - this year we will have roller hockey as well.

 

Please view our separate GIRLS OLYMPIC ICE HOCKEY CAMP coupon that I have attached to this email. Also, please check out our web site for sign up information...  http://www.proambitions.com/bdcamps_girls.htm

 

I hope to KICK ICE with you, and your GIRLS this20summer!

Sincerely,
Kim Insalaco
