Hockey Family,
Summer is half over, hockey is in the air again, and we are preparing for another great year...
We wanted to clarify some things as we progress closer to the Fall season
First:
If you've been told by a member of another association that GMFHA is "folding" because the Thomas family has relocated to Idaho, please let them know this an inaccurate rumor and GMFHA will be on the ice again this season. It’s sad that other Associations are trying to exploit what is (to several of our family members) a personal loss as well as an Association loss. They were part of our hockey family and everyone will miss Keegan and Kelsey's heart, determination, smile and friendship, as well as Melissa, Kiley and Tim's Catamount spirit and support. Their departure has NO bearing on the future success of the GMFHA program. Please wish them well and pray for their happiness in their new life in Idaho. They will be missed.
GMFHA was started to get away from the drama, politics and personal agendas like this, and just enjoy the game again.... Thank you
Second:
Registration has been delayed a bit as we upgrade the website and add enhancements that will help all of us in tracking funds, paying registrations, and communication to our members. Our team is working diligently with Sport Ngin to complete this process as soon as possible. We will notify everyone as soon as it opens.
The family discount program and goalie program will still be a part of this year’s registration. We will, however, INCLUDE tournament fees in this year’s registrations fees and the new system we are installing will be able to track everyone's individual accounts as the funds are applied to tournaments. We felt that showing the total costs up front will help everyone prepare for the expenditure and allow us to apply to Tournaments earlier than in previous years. A payment plan will still be available as it was previous years.
Please don't hesitate to talk to a Coach, Board Member, or me if you have any questions or concerns about the upcoming season.
In closing, please know that we have several new excited Board of Directors members, Coaches and families that have joined us this summer. We are committed to our program and the benefits it provides on and off the ice. We have the best coaches in the area who share a similar mindset that OUR KIDS COME FIRST. We are committed to building athletes of character, and lifelong friends through the game of hockey and we believe our structure and approach is the right mixture to achieve that.
We hope you’re having a great summer and are getting excited about the upcoming season. I know I am!!
Thank you for your support
Brian Kane
