PANTHERS FOOTBALL - BE A WINNER - BE A PANTHER
May 25, 2012 – 11:50 PM The Lake Erie Panthers are a proud member of the HFL – The last 3 National Champions were members of the HFL. www.heartlandfootball.org Check our team web page (this site), and/or, our facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/groups/346167884828/, for the latest team anouncements.

It is critical that everone is at Practice Sat so that we can be as prepared as possible for the Preds~!! We are making some key defensive adjustments and several key additions on offense. You need to be there to know what the game plan is and take advantage of the extra practice day~!! I expect you there, don't let me down. GO PANTHERS~!!

The Panthers are practicing Tues (helmet & shorts) and Thurs (uppers only) from 6:30-8:30 pm at Coffinberry Field. We will also practice on Saturday from 5:30-7:30 PM at Coffinberry; we will share a few beverages after practice Saturday to continue our bonding as a family/team~!! The greatest improvement will be between game 1 and game 2; it is critical that all players make all practices this week~!

If you have not had your helmet painted you may wear any color this week but MUST have your helmet painted white with a green mask before our home opener on 2 June 2012. Talk to Justin Simms as he can have them painted buy his father-in-law's body shop cheaper and do a better job than what we ended up paying Noz-N-Toys~!

If you have not ordered and paid for your uniform you MUST do so ASAP so that you have them for our home opener on 6/2/12~! Omega Sports is open on Mon from 1-5 at Kamms Corner, Rocky River Drive & Lorain Avenue; or you seriously risk not having a uniform for the home opener. Again the cost is ONLY $85 (lowest price for any team) for 2 games jerseys and 1 game pant. Make sure they have your name and number and size correct before leaving the store. If you cannot get there you may give your money & info to Rich on Tuesday or Thursday; make sure you are at ALL practices this week~!

Place your uniform number or name inside and take all hardware off the helmet; only the two screws at the front of the cage should remain. No chin snap screws, etc. You may leave the pads in, but know that they will be dirty and you will have to clean them later. For the speeds and revolutions we are recommending that you leave them in.

ALL players should make plans to attend practice next week as you DO NOT want to fall behind on learning the new offense and sedense~!! We have a pre-season game next Saturday, 5/5/12. Come early if you need extra stretch time. Contact Numbers: George 440-670-6923; Ramon 216-632-1003; Rich 216-673-9532

$85 for Uniforms, Omega Sports Shop: 216 251 4962

Talk to Ramon or Justin if you do not have your helmet painted yet as he can do it better & cheaper than the $45; you still have to pay for decals/stripes.

See you guys at next practice and remember PANTHER PRIDE! Coach O'Hamill

Helmust MUST be painted white with silver metal flake in it. You have two options: Rich Lew, helmet & facemask painted with decals for $45 or Hans at All-Sports, 3651 Perkins, Cleveland will paint them for $25; he does not paint facemask or do details. Your mask MUST be Forrest Green (dark green)-new mask run $32-45 depending on helmet type; if you need a helmet our Riddell Rep can get you a re-conditioned VS4R, painted, for $75.
