Public Address from Sharny

First off, we would like to thank everyone who has paid up in full for the rest of the year.

Secondly, we would like to address some concerns raised over the new "pay in full" rule (ie. players not sure if they can commit every week or players on shift work etc.)

We don't want to put anybody in a difficult position and we understand the issues that have been raised, but I don't think everyone is understanding the reasoning behind the new rule. It's pretty simple:

Ice Cost = $202/night: Regardless of how many players show up.

Unless someone else wants to volunteer to put their credit card on the line and hope that 20 guys show up on every night just to break even we have no other choice but to require everyone to pay up front.

So again, if you cannot commit then you are welcome to pay and play on a weekly basis but you cannot just show up when you feel like. You will have to e-mail myself a day or two in advance and if we are short players for that week you are most welcome to come out.

For those of you that were not there last week, you will not be charged for it but the line has to be drawn somewhere. It will be $70 for the rest of the year (7 ice times) whether you can make it this week or not.

Committee

ps. Let's leave the lumber at home and play some "hockey" this week.

Bill, you know you were two feet offside on Ohlund's goal. It was a nice goal so I let it go!!
