November 1st Update

Lots going on in the world of the Smokettes.

1) Thank you to all who came out this evening it was a great time, the rest of you missed out!

2) We have a game this Saturday against the Nelson Rec. Please be there by 11:00 and be stretched and on the ice by 11:30 so we can start in an efficient manner. Kathleen is organizing a goalie for us, hopefully Spring can make it. Does anyone want to volunteer to organize a ref?

3) We have a game against Grand Forks on our ice on November 10th. Same drill be ready to go on the ice at 11:30.

4) Does anyone have either of the two Smokette puck bags from last year? Please look around. One was the black bag, I don't remember what the other looks like.

5) We are trying to get the jerseys back from people who are no longer playing. If you see anyone that you think might have a jersey please ask.

6) Two tournaments are coming up, please see webpage for more info.

7) We are looking for a volunteer to organize goalies each week, any volunteers?

Oct 13th Ice w/ Nelson Ladies

Another Year!

ARE YOU READY FOR HOCKEY!!

Spare Equipment

Smokettes!

I have a favor to ask. I have a friend who really wants to play this year. She has never played before and has ZERO equipment. She is willing to pay for any used equipment that we can scrounge up. So if you have anything sitting around that you are looking to get rid of. Please let me know so we can get her suited up – she’s about my size in terms of fit.

You guys rock!

Cheers

Hol

Kalso Tournament Looking for Players

Hi All,
      Anyone interested in a joined team for this Kaslo tournament below??? It sounds like fun. Lorna made it extremely clear that this is a BEGINNER-INTERMEDIATE tournament. That is the level that they want attending. The Blueliners will not be there. The Nelson Drillers, and Kaslo LADIES and ???? She said that she could arrange it so that we play Sat and Sun and so would only have to stay Sat night. Let Tracy know ASAP if you are interested. Please forward this to any one else of interest.


Karma Halleran gave me your contact information, and she says you both have hockey teams in Trail. I wanted to invite both of your teams to a tournament in Kaslo, Feb. 3-5. The AfterBurners (Kaslo men's Oldtimers' team) are hosting it, and it should be a blast. There would be 4 men's teams and 4 women's teams. Three games each, beer after the games, plus a party with live music at the Kaslo Hotel. There's also talk of t-shirts and pizza, but I'm not sure of the details there. It would be great if you could join us.

Hope you can make it!
Lorna
