ELK VALLEY Minor HocKEY President’s Message 2015
I have been involved with Minor hockey now for three years. First starting to help coach my sons team, being on the ice helping was a great experience. Having fun travelling and spending time with the
families and great friends I made in my first year made it an easy choice to stay involved and continue to coach. The next year I decided to join the executive as VP and continue to be involved which lead to the position as president. Elk Valley Minor Hockey is an amazing association which has some excellent volunteers with years of experience who have helped greatly. A big thank you to all our volunteers. We couldn’t have had the success we have had in the past without you.We are very proud of the achievements of all our players and we are
happy to be part of minor hockey week. I am frequently at our local arenas watching teams practice and play games and the best part about being there is seeing the smiles on the faces of the kids. Watching as one player scores there first goal or makes a great pass and how happy they are with their achievements makes what we do as volunteers worth while.This season is well underway with few games and tournaments left to
play and playoffs just around the corner, so if you’re interested in catching a game check out our website for schedules and bring the kids down to enjoy a friendly game.Hope to see you there. Thank you to all who have helped to make this year great for all the
kids!
~ Jason Dobson, President,Elk Valley Minor Hockey
FErniE Minor HocKEY President’s Message 2015
We are excited to say our membership keeps growing and we are so pleased that more kids are participating in hockey in our community. As always I want to thank the people that make
hockey happen in Fernie. We have the greatest volunteers, coaches, parents and players. A special thank you to our equipment manager, Lisa Grabas who has spent countless hours getting our locker room cleaned and organized, looks after everyone’s equipment needs, and is always available to help. Cathy Garcia we would be lost without you managing all of our administration and finances! Laurel Doehle dedicated ice coordinator and team manager thank you!! Arthur Sombrowski, Laura Loewen, Mark Palmer and Kevin Marasco who manage registration, health and safety programs, coach mentorship and more thank you for the hours of time you selflessly provide. Our fantastic coaching staff who
spend hours getting certification courses, planning practices and mentoring the kids are to be commended for the talented players that we have here in Fernie!Our community has been nominated by Caira Hutchinson for Kraft Hockeyville 2015. I would like to encourage
everyone to support Caira with this initiative as winning would mean $100,000 in upgrades to our arena. One of the biggest challenges our community will face in growing our skating and hockey programs is having enough ice! Each year I get dozens of emails form teams who want to come to tournaments in Fernie because we have such a fantastic community. We literally can’t accommodate the volume of requests we receive. Bringing people into our community is great for our local economy and wonderful for our kids to make new friends. We would love to be able to hold more events and bring more teams to Fernie. Please come forward with any ideas or support you can to help this initiative.
Happy New Year and Best Wishes for 2015 from all of us at Fernie Minor Hockey.
