Iowa City • Coralville Hockey

We are again participating in the Coralville 4th of July parade this Saturday at 10:00 a.m.

We are #98 in the parade, and will line up in the Geico parking lot.  Parade rules indicate that we need to be in place by 9:00.

We’ll bring jerseys for the kids to wear.  If they rollerblade, they need to wear helmets.  We’ll also have Gatorade available.

We’ll be handing out hockey stress pucks and business cards, and would like to have 5-6 adults walking with the kids.  We also need 2 adults to carry the banner.

Please e-mail lisa.mascardo@iowacityhockey.org if you’ll be joining us on Saturday.

Thanks and we hope to see you there!

The Coral Ridge Ice Arena will be adding Youth Hockey time starting Monday, July 6th. This will run weekly for 6 weeks from 6:45 – 8:45 p.m. Skill sessions are open to all current and anticipated ICH players.
The plan is to split the ice (with barriers) and have skating/skills done on one half and the stick and puck on the other half.  Depending on the number of kids, they would rotate in groups if they want to do the skills.  The cost is $7.50 per player each week. Parents wishing to help facilitate these sessions please contact lisa.mascardo@iowacityhockey.org.

In order to promote support and participation in our organization, ICH is establishing a volunteering requirement effective for the 2009-2010 season. Each family will need to earn 5 volunteer points between now and March. A full list of opportunities for points will be published in the near future, but examples include helping (walking) with the organization in the 4th of July or Iowa Homecoming parades, running the clock or announcing during home games or working a specific shift during the December tournament. In addition, families who personally do the legwork to bring in a sponsorship of $25 or more will earn one point per sponsor. In the event that a family does not have the time to dedicate to volunteering, volunteer points may be purchased for $25 each.

Let’s get Iowa City/Coralville excited about the great sport of Hockey! ICH needs your help getting community sponsorships for our organization. Get the family together and think about any local businesses that you know personally. It could be your neighbor that owns the bike shop or your favorite pizza place.
We need each family to submit at least 3 personally known businesses to contact.
There are two options for contact:
1. You may contact the business directly with marketing packets from the fundraising committee. For every business you approach and collect a minimum of $25, you will be awarded one volunteer point.

2. The fundraising committee will contact the businesses submitted for you.  We will need to know if we may use your name during the contact.
We are tracking business suggestions so as to not have several people contact the same company.
Please send submissions to marla.edwards@iowacityhockey.org by Friday, June 26. 

The fundraising committee must raise $11,000 to keep hockey fees similar to last year so it is extremely important to reach as many businesses as possible.  Our goal is to raise funds by August so a budget and fees can be finalized for the 2009-10 hockey season. Thank you for your time, we need every family to help in order to make this a success!

At the March 23 parent meeting, Rohan Phillips presented parents with a projected cost per player for the 2009-2010 season.  He indicated that active fundraising would be necessary to keep fees similar to where they were this past year. We need every family’s help to keep costs down next year. Please see our ICH website www.iowacitycoralvillehockey.com to review committee descriptions and e-mail Volunteer Coordinator, Tina Riggan, tina.riggan@iowacityhockey.org to let her know which committee you would like to join ASAP.

After speaking with ICCSD Superintendent Lane Plugge last year, we learned that ICH is not able to directly distribute flyers to all students through the schools, however other forms of marketing may be allowed. Each principal decides what information can be distributed through the school. Last year Weber Elementary had a table with ICH brochures at the Back to School Ice Cream Social. There is also a brochure and business card posted on the community bulletin board in the school. Some schools are willing to mention ICH in their newsletter. As a growing organization, it is important to get the word out to as many families as possible. Please talk to your child’s principal and find out what your school is willing to do. You can contact kaylemckay@iowacityhockey.org for marketing materials.
