HSE 'B' Team needs T-Bird Classic Coordinator NOW!

(9/20/2007) Every season the HSE Varsity 'B' team hosts the T-Bird Classic Tournament over Thanksgiving weekend. It is a great opportunity to stay at home over the holiday and play some great hockey. We need a HSE 'B' parent to step up and volunteer to be the Tournament Coordinator. This is an established tournament that already has four teams interested in playing. Please contact Jim Martin jpmsales@insightbb.com if you can help organize this tournament. Some of the work has already been done (ice scheduling, etc.) but we need an energetic parent to follow through and help make this a success. Please step up and help the program. Thanks!

Check out the HSE Players in the Spotlight.

(9/4/2007) The new feature "Players Spotlight" debuts today. The first two players are Jonathan Kansteiner and Todd Jacobs. As you can see, it takes a little bit of work to put the page together. That is why it is so important to respond to Terri Blackwell's email promptly and to get the information turned in by the date she requests. A special 'shoutout' to Terri for her persistence and tenacity in chasing down the information. Terri will be contacting players as the season progresses, and we look forward to "spotlighting" different players each week.

Varsity C - Practice Time Change for Tuesday 9/4

(9/1/2007) The Varsity C team will practice from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 4th. This is a "one time" change. Practice will resume at its normal time the following Tuesday.

HSE Hockey Club in Full Swing

(9/1/2007) The teams have hit the ice. The A team is looking sharp in their new RBK practice jerseys. Mass quantities of burgers and hot dogs were consumed at the picnic. A special thanks to Patty June for all your hard work on the picnic. And everyone's cars are looking shiny and clean. The car wash fundraiser at Wal-Mart was a big success, raising over $2,200 for the Hockey Club. Thanks to coordinator Judi Knafel for a job well done. What a great way to kick off the season! The pictures from the car wash have been posted on the "Photos" pages. Thanks to Terri Blackwell for the pictures. Also, the contact information has been updated for the 2007-08 season on the "Contacts" page.

HSE Skate Sharpening Program

(9/1/2007) The HSE Hockey Club is offering a skate sharpening program for HSE players. Many thanks to the Jessee family for their generous donation of a skate sharpener to the HSE locker room. Donnie Short (HSE A), Steve Jessee (HSE B), and Jay Updike (HSE C) have volunteered to serve as sharpeners for their respective teams. There is a one time $20 fee per player that will cover skate sharpenings for the entire season. The funds will be used to cover the cost of hand stones, machine stones, cutting oil, and other supplies. Participation in this program is voluntary. A list of the players that have paid will be posted on the locker room door. Only the players on the list will be eligible for Club skate sharpenings. Donnie Short will be sharpening HSE A skates on Thursday mornings. The other volunteers will be establishing a time in the near future. Thanks again to Steve Jessee, Donnie Short, and Jay Updike.
