2011 | 2012 MYHA Tournaments

The Hockey Season is finally upon us and our home tournament schedule is as follows:

We are so fortunate to have some volunteers for the tournament coordinators who have previously done this is the past - a big thank you for volunteering!

I will again have a tournament book for you with all of the forms, schedules, volunteer sign up forms for the tournament coordinators.

Dec 3-4 Girls U12-U14 (most of the insterest is U14) FULL

Dec 16-18 Bantams Lesa Vavra tournament coordinator FULL

Jan 6-8 Peewee A-B Angie Wilson tournament coordinator 20 hours of assessment*

Jan 13-15 Squirt A-B Michelle Uetz tournament coordinator 20 hours of assessment*

Jan 29 LYS Jamboree need a tournament coordinator 20 hours of assessment*

Feb 18-19 MITES need a tournament coordinator 20 hours of assessment*

One of the most important things we do is fundraise through raffles at our tournaments. I am trying to give everyone a head start on this opportunity.

November 25th is Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving (and my birthday-no wonder its black!!!) and many great raffle ideas will be on sale. Last year Walmart had iPod nanos, iPods, Tom-Toms, video players for the cars on sale very cheaply....all the things we rely on to make travel to games and tournaments enjoyable for all. I know I had a great time with my daughter, Kirk and Keenan getting up at 4:00 am for the "hunt"!

You can go together as families and purchase larger items such as an iPod so that no one has to pay more than $25 per family. Our goal is to have great raffle items and raise money to help keep our costs to skate low. By far we have the lowest fees of many associations and we strive to keep it that way. BUT that means we have to offset those costs through other activities such as this.

Each tournament will also want to identify a food item to be sold through the concession stand (ie: pork sandwiches, walking tacos, etc.. with homemade bars which are always a hit)

Please consider how you can get invovled at your skaters home tournament.

We had so many teams comment on what great experiences they had here last year and some of our teams this year are returning!

Thank you all in advance and please let me know how I can help!
