Strasbourg Minor Hockey always produces a year of excitement,
friendship, and fun and last years season was no exception. We
enjoyed quite a successful season with regards to fundraising.
The community and local business owners always come through for us
through our advertising/sponsorship program as well as supporting
our other fundraising efforts. Some of the additional
fundraising efforts included: creating a cookbook which
contained recipes supplied by the players as well as old and new
pictures of Strasbourg Minor Hockey pictures and some great artwork
by our younger players, the annual bottle drive, and our loser
draft. For the 2007-2008 season we will carry out some of the
same yearly campaigns and are working to come up with some new
creative ideas to run with. One of the exciting new ideas is
to develop a Strasbourg Minor Hockey History Book.
This season we
will have the following teams playing out of our arena:
Initiation, Novice, Atom and Midget. There is much
anticipation for the season to begin which will be kicked off by our
annual
Hockey
School on Oct 12-14th.
This hockey school is instructed by our very own Minor Hockey
President, Scott Frizzell. The kids enjoy the time they spend
on the ice with Scott and the parents of our club appreciate all the
time and effort Scott puts into both the
Hockey
School and
Strasbourg Minor Hockey in general.
Look to our
website

regards to schedules, rosters, sponsorship, and upcoming events.
We look forward to
seeing you in our arena and enjoying the spirit of hockey with us.
A message from the
President:
I would like to
welcome everyone to the 2007/08 hockey season. To some it may
feel like the ice melted last week and that they are not ready for
hockey, but to others there is an air of excitement and the
anticipation of their children stepping onto the ice for another
season.
I do hope that
everyone has taken a break from the arenas and allowed their
children to pursue other avenues of sport and fun for the summer. In
today’s world there are many pressures that children are faced with
and we must keep everything in perspective when it comes to the long
term development of the kids. Let’s make sure the kids are having
fun.
A huge thanks to
all of the volunteers that coach and manage the teams. Most of
these individuals are involved because they love the game. It is up
to everyone to make sure that we provide them with the proper tools
for the job. Lets not be to hasty to criticize when you are not in
their shoes.
I cannot finish
without giving special merit to all of our officials that we have
within our hockey system. Officials will always be part of the game
and they are involved because they also love the game.
Good Luck this
season, compete hard, play fair and have fun.
Scott Frizzell
President
