2009 - 2010 Fall Season
Hello Everyone,

With the Fall session approaching fast, I just wanted to thank everyone for signing up ON TIME and getting involved with hockey again this year.

Next week's practice schedule is posted on the Plex Web site.  We will be evaluating all the players on Monday.  You can follow the schedule online at www.plexindoorsports.com/irmoice click on schedules, then click on the date, click on the group.

Monday 9/28/09 ice times:

Birth Years 1999 and up - 6:30pm
Birth Years 1998 and down - 7:30pm

Please try to be at the rink at least 15-20 minutes early to get on the ice in time.  Every player will need their name plate on their helmet before they step on the ice.  IIHF will supply them.  We will be ordering jerseys as well, so look for a IIHF member to be checking with you on size.

This year, USA Hockey has a new module which the IIHF will follow.  We want to offer more ice time to our players (at no additional cost) and increase the skill development, while making sure each player has a great experience.  Our goal is to develop not just better hockey players, but to develop better athletes.

***Every player must be registered with USA Hockey.  Please sign up online at; http://www.usahockeyregistration.com/  and bring a copy of your registration to evaluation/practice or email it to IrmoIceHockey@aol.com
