ICH Hokey Pokey- August 16

This year’s Fryfest is holding a “hokey pokey” contest. The idea is to get a group of people to do the hokey pokey in a creative way. ICH would like to submit a video of hockey kids and adults  “shakin’ it all about” on the ice. Please bring your gear and come join us at Coral Ridge Ice Arena on Monday, August 16 at 7p.m. It should be fun and a great way to promote the sport we love to the community!!

Please RSVP kaylemckay@gmail.com if you can come.

Thanks!!

ICH Tournament Meeting- August 2

We have plans to expand our annual tournament this year!  We will be inviting teams at the mini-mite, mite, squirt, and peewee levels.  With this expansion, we will need many volunteers to make our tournament organized and successful.

There will be an informational meeting Monday Aug 2 at 7 PM.  All members are invited to attend as we begin planning and committee building.

4th of July Parade- Exciting News!

ICH will be driving a fire truck in the Coralville 4th of July Parade! An ICH parent has access to a truck and is willing to let us use it for the parade. If you and your family would like to participate please reply ASAP. If we don’t get enough volunteers, we need to let the parade organizers know that we are forfeiting our spot.

As a reminder…..

Everyone should meet in the Geico/McGregor’s Parking Lot between 10:30 and 11:00 a.m. The parade starts at noon.

Please have your player wear their ICH practice jersey.

If your child wants to rollerblade instead of riding on the truck, please have them wear a helmet.

We’ll be handing out frisbees and magnet-style business cards.

We need to have 5-6 adults with the kids.

Tracy Marker has volunteered to help organize this event. Please e-mail tracy.marker@iowacityhockey.org or call her at(319) 541-3247 if you’d like to participate in the parade on Sunday, July 4.

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.
