Red Division

Welcome to the 2007-2008 Season

Posted October 04 2007 by Red Convenor

As I sit here watching the NHL highlights it reminds me of all the scouts that come to watch us play-NOT!!!! Of course the point is that there are no scouts in our arenas & never will be (at least on the nights we play). Please remember the goal of our league is to make new friends, get some exercise and above all, have fun.

Tim Canham and I are the new convenors and would like to thank Gary Marshall and Rick Watson for leaving our division in great shape (unlike some of us players). We welcome Kevin Whittall as the new pool convenor taking over from Andre LeClerc who did the job for 20 years. Welcome also to new captains Greg Anger, Clayton Smith and Jim Winter who are joining the grizzled old veteran captains Brian Smith, Terry Thorpe and Dave Whittle.

Please take a minute to check your equipment to ensure it is in good shape so that it can do it’s job; protecting you. Also, please make sure you are out of the dressing rooms in time for the next team to get ready for their game and observe all city laws regarding smoking and alcohol in the rinks.

There has been a couple line-up changes. Dave McKissock , Rick Hiebert and Rick Watson have replaced John Cunningham, Barry Forbes and Joel Young, respectfully.

Finally, our largest fundraiser is the Ham & Turkey Roll which takes place on November 24. The funds raised here help keep our fees as low as possible (the best value in the city). Every team will receive tickets to sell, please sell them all. Many door prizes are needed to make this successful. If you can donate something, please contact Jerry Large or drop it off at the club.

We are all looking forward to a great season and remember, the most important thing is to keep the convenor’s paperwork to a minimum.

See you at the rink.
