Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday today to Jessica Cameron!

Enjoy your Christmas break - we found out last night that Kris MacPhee is unable to work with us next Thursday, and we're trying to coordinate with Summerside Pool to have fitness there on the 30th. Will let you know asap.

No ice time Saturday, 25th December or the 01st of January, but we are meeting at 2pm on the 03rd January for an exhibition game. Will let you know who when we have that confirmed.

Hope Santa finds you! See you next week!

Santa Claus is Watching!

Huge kudos and big thanks to the runners who took part in the Santa Claus run today - never have so many Santas, Elves, and Reindeer run at once around UPEI! Great job, and thanks Nadine for organizing this for us!

Upcoming events:

Fitness December 16th

Practice December 18th 9:10-10:10, followed by fitness at Queen Elizabeth Elementary. We have a team/parents meeting at 12:30 at the elementary school.

Ladies, we had decided to have a Texas Scramble gift exchange after fitness, $5 limit. If you've never experienced this style of gift exchange, be prepared. Highly competitive people with wrapping paper....better keep your shoulder pads on!

Have a great week!

Update

Apparently, we should cancel fitness more often!! Congratulations to Nadine, who got engaged when fitness was cancelled last Thursday. And yes, she is seriously considering having 20 bridesmaids and 21 fathers give her away. (Apparently her own father wanted a piece of the pie as well.) Check out her rock, she had to get a special hockey glove at the Pownal Blades last game, just to be able to shoot!

Good luck to Shannon MacAulay, at the Team Canada Camp December 17-19. If successful, she'll find out on the 20th and she'll travel to Sweden to play at the World Championship on December 27th. We're proud of you Shannon - good luck!

Take care of your injuries!

Looking for 'younger' pictures of players - baby pics, when they first started playing hockey, etc. Scan and email to one of us, or bring it in and we'll scan and get it back to you. Thanks!

Fitness cancelled

Due to a number of scheduling conflicts, we've cancelled fitness for Thursday, 25 November. Please email if you are unable to attend Saturday's practice.

Have a great Friday with no school!

Let It Snow!

Thanks to those who could help today at the Seaport Center setting up for the benefit for Kristen Cameron. Great to know you all have skills beyond the rink - and no, you may not count lifting the tables and chairs as fitness!

We have fitness Thursday evening at 7, and practice next Saturday at 9:10. November and December calendars have been emailed, please let Robyn know if you haven't received one.

Congratulations Genna, Congratulations Alyssa!

Let's take a minutes to wish good luck and have fun to Genna Phelan and Alyssa Ferguson, heading to St. John's Nov 10th representing Hockey PEI...we hope they take the rain with them!

A change in this week's plan: there will NOT be a fitness session on Thursday, 11 November, due to Remembrance Day and the exams that some of you are writing this week.

Saturday, 13 November: practice at 9:10, off-ice fitness 10:30-11:30 (be prepared for indoor and outdoor!) and chili and biscuits (don't worry Mel, we'll find something else for you!) at Chris and Robyn's parents place 11:35-12:30. As you can tell by the timeline, Mom and Dad live quite close to the rink, we could run there.....wait a minute, that's a good idea!

Parents are invited to the chow down, (fitness too, if you think they can handle it!) or can drop you off at the rink and pick you up at Aikens'.

Aiken's house: 54 Andrews Drive (Andrews Dr. is directly across from Castle building center which is on Route 2 as you leave Kensington heading towards Charlottetown.)

Have a great week!

Hallowe'en Tricks and Treats

Great job ladies who were involved in the exhibition game today against the UPEI Jr Varsity team. A strong performance, consistent effort throughout the game. Your fitness levels were clearly demonstrated, kudos to the off-ice work you've put in.

Fitness Thursday evening 7pm, see you then!
