Just in case you hadn't heard, St. Agnes ice hockey is back . . . after 23 years!
That's right, our co-ed group of grade 6-8 players took to the ice last week for the first of their three practices in preparation for the TCDSB tournaments on March 1, 4, 19 and 25 (location detail to follow and added to our blog's live calendar). Twenty-eight school teams have already been registered for these tournaments. We can't wait to show our stuff too!
As an added bonus, we hope to have some of the players provide (for posting to our blog) a short (maybe 75 words) essay on their experience at each of these games and practices. Our players and journalists will shine!
These big projects don't just happen, of course. They take initiative, time and financial resources and for that we owe big thanks to the all of the following:
Silvia Cooke - Team Manager
Mike Dwyer - Head Coach
Blake Ennis - Assistant Coach
David Cooke - Assistant Coach/Trainer
John Shea - School Representative/Teacher Volunteer
Our hockey team's sponsors are:
Fisher Sports (Thornhill Arena)
RBC Financial
R.S. Kane Funeral Home
Play it Again Sports (Bayview & Cummer)
Motion Specialties
Metro (Bayview & York Mills)
ValuMart on Bayview
Source for Sports - Just Hockey
Longo's (Bayview)
Hair Domination (Leslie & Cummer)
Pickle Barrel (Leslie & Cummer)
So, please look for more information to come (including a student/player essays) here on your St. Agnes CSAC blog and check the blog's live calendar for practice and tournament dates & times. Hopefully, we can fill some stands with our proud St. Agnes parents and student supporters.
Go Gators Go!!!
