And then, there were 4 Teams left
standing.
Fabulous display of hockey, by our
boy’s on the week-end. I couldn’t be prouder of them all. We are very capable of
winning!!!!
This may shock you, but we are 2
wins away, from representing Ancaster in the City Championships. Please continue
to believe!
5 things that you need to know:
(1) We play @ 6:00 this Tuesday at Spring Valley vs the Leafs. Please try to have your son dressed and ready to play by 5:45. You know your son best, but I never played well on a full stomach, I expect they will have a similar experience. I suggest a healthy snack between 4:30 & 5:00 to improve their game performance.
(2) Win or lose, we have our final game Super Saturday, with a Pizza Party to follow (see website link for details): http://ancasterminorhockey.com/Articles/4597/Super_Saturday_Schedule/ . Note team awards are handed out at this time.
(3) $$$: I would like to get the Team budget “squared up” prior to the week-end. I need money from people, for the names on the back of the kid’s jersey’s ($7/child) + $42/child who participated in the X-mas Tournament. Please pay Tammy, either tomorrow or Saturday (Cash or Chque is fine).
(4) Signatures: The League has asked that I obtain signatures from parents, for the “possible” release of our Team picture. This is for the “Dodge Caravan Kid’s” sponsorship. The program allows the AMHL to collect $3,000 for the partnership. Important to note, this is for Team pictures only (not individual).
(5) Team Year End Party: looks like we are a “go” for Splitsville Bowling. I am waiting to see how we progress this week-end, before we look at dates. Remember the City Finals, are after March Break. Stay tuned for more details.
(6) Format for the Play-Off’s (in case you are wondering). I have “cut & pasted” below, so that you know how it works.
Coaches,
Here are the semi-final times for Atom.
We only have 1 hour to get the game in so no time-outs, no OT with a 3 player shootout in case of a tie.
1st period: 10 minutes stop time
2nd period: 10 minutes stop time
3rd period: 10 minutes stop time
3 player shootout if tied after regulation (no overtime).
· Shootout is a simultaneous 3 player shootout (players from each team shoot at the same time from opposing ends): sudden death shoot-out if tied after 3 shooters, no one can shoot twice until everyone has shot once.
· Coaches have to hand in their shooter list before the game starts with the game sheet.
· Shoot-out sheet is attached.

No timeouts.
Fair Play Rules apply.
It will be fun Tuesday, looking forward to it.
