ANNOUNCEMENTS

Thanks everyone for your patience yesterday. It was great to see so many kid and parents out there...! Congratulations to all the new kids who played their first game yesterday - you all did really well....!!!!

As we have so many this year, we will be moving towards a 4 team competition. Coaches will be sorting this out sometime this week, so again this coming Sunday, I will hand out jerseys. Hopefully I will have the team lists to email to you all some time later this week.

See you all Tuesday :)

ATOMS (11 & UNDER)

Atoms hockey is open to girls or boys aged 11 and under. At this level of ice hockey body checking and slapshots are not allowed.

Training

During the season the Atoms train once a week on Tuesdays from 5:00 pm until 6:00 pm. Extra training sessions may be booked in the run-up to National Championships.

Players are expected to arrive at training sessions at least one-half hour before the scheduled time to ensure that they are in their equipment and ready to take to the ice, as soon as available.

The Atoms compete locally in the ACTIHA local league. Games are played on Sundays from 3:45 pm to 5:45 pm in Canberra at the Phillip Ice Rink.

National Tournament 2010

The McCrae Williamson Trophy is the National Tournament for Atoms. The tournament for 2010 will be held in Adelaide from 29 June - 4 July. Team selection will happen shortly and I will advise all eligible players when this will be. Accommodation has been booked at the Adelaide Shores Cabin Park. Once team members have been selected, you will be advised and a deposit will be payable to the Association for this accommodation. Further details to come....watch this space...!
