The Rodd Royalty Inn is located at 14 Capital Drive next to the Peter Pan Restaurant.

The North River Minor Hockey Association Midget A Girls Flames went to MacMillan Lodge on Saturday, December 19th to visit with the residents for a Christmas Cookie Party. The girls wore their home jerseys and Santa hats.

Each one brought a dozen cookies. The staff and the residents really enjoyed the girls' treats and singing. They sounded pretty good even when they didn't know the words!!!

It was a great experience for everyone. They had fun! Some of the team were a little taken back by the seniors that could not sit up or talk or even open their eyes; but most of them were tapping their feet and smiling while the girls sang.

One elderly lady cried when the girls went in to see her, she said, "I love hockey!" and she cried again when they left, she did not want them to go.

The parents and coaches of the team are very proud of their girls for taking the time during the busy holiday season to show compassion and warmth to some very special people!

Provincial Championship Host Application 09-10.pdf

First Prize: Alexander McQuaid
Second Prize: Paige Matheson
Third Prize: Carrie Keizer

The winners can contact Rick Adams radams@gov.pe.ca to receive their cheque.

Rule 1.9 (c)
Only players in uniform and a maximum of five team officials shall be permitted to occupy the players' bench. These individuals shall be registered and entered on the Official Game Report. A maximum of five team officials may be recorded on the Official Game Report.

To clarify, an injured player wearing a helmet and neck guard is not to be on the bench. He will not be covered by insurance. His name should be removed from the game sheet. Referees should be removing these individuals but many times do not. Parents, siblings or other individuals are not to be on the bench unless they have been carded by that particular team. People have until Dec. 31st to get their Speakout and coaching courses.

I hope this clears up some confusion on who can be on the bench.

Also, a reminder that coaches of every level are required to wear a helmet WITH CHIN STRAP DONE UP while on the ice with their players. Failure to do so may result in discipline.

Thanks,
David McQuaid

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY - Handshake policy for the 2009-2010 season

Please be advised that, effective immediately, for teams in Hockey PEI sanctioned games, leagues, tournaments and events where the players traditionally shake hands at the end of the game, the following procedure is to be followed for the post-game handshake:

Players are to keep their hockey gloves on for the post game handshake and tap gloves.

Teams are reminded that on-ice officials do have the authority to prohibit handshakes at the end of a game, should the situation warrant.

Instead of shaking hands with team officials at the beginning of the game as part of the Respect in Sport initiative, on-ice officials will now verbally greet those team officials at the bench.

Windsor, Ontario - Chrysler Canada, your Chrysler Jeep Dodge Dealers and amateur hockey associations across Canada are pleased to announce the 2009-2010 season Dodge Caravan Kids Contest where one lucky hockey-loving adult will drive away a winner in a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT as part of the Dodge Caravan Kids program. In addition the winner's amateur hockey association will win $10,000 towards hockey development or recognition programs in their association. The contest will begin on October 1st, 2009 and conclude on December 31, 2009.

"This is an exciting opportunity for any hockey parent and their local association," said Hockey PEI President, Gordie Whitlock. "The Dodge Grand Caravan is arguably the most popular vehicle to drive your children to the rink in. We are extremely grateful for the support of Chrysler Canada and the Chrysler Jeep Dodge Dealers for this donation."

"Chrysler Canada and our Chrysler Canada dealers are proud of our ongoing Dodge Caravan Kids team sponsorships, and pleased to support amateur hockey across Canada with this contest," said Reid Bigland, Chrysler Canada President and CEO. "The 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan is a great choice for the winner - the vehicle is a "Made in Canada" success story that outsold the competition by a margin of seven to one last month!"

The Dodge Caravan Kids Score + Win contest is in conjunction with the "Dodge Caravan Kids" program, which is a national grass roots hockey sponsorship program at the Atom level for Hockey PEI and a joint initiative between Chrysler Canada and its Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealers. In its first year as a national program, there were 2,100 Dodge Caravan Kids teams registered. The Dodge Caravan Kids Score + Win contest is easy to enter, just log onto the website and register for your chance to win. Full contest rules and regulations can be obtained by visiting www.dodgecaravankids.ca/contest

The Dodge Grand Caravan continues to set the mark with a combination of unsurpassed fuel economy, value, versatility and functionality with leading innovation in the minivan segment.

TO KICK OFF ANOTHER MINOR HOCKEY SEASON WE ARE HAVING TWO CONTESTS AT NRMHA

1. NRMHA OCTOBER CHALLENGE
The 15% of funds raised in October that would normally go to NRMHA will be given as cash prizes to the top 5 total purchasers for October.

   Example based on last years October orders
   Total ordered by NRMHA in October = $60000
      Total raised in October = $1800
      NRMHA portion (15%) = $270
   Top Sales Total receives $81 (30% of total) in cash
   Second and Third Sales Total receive $54 in cash each (20 % of total each)
   Fourth and Fifth Sales Total receive $40.50 in cash each (15% of total each)

2. FUNDSCRIP $100,000 CHALLENGE
Fundcrip is challenging all groups to sell $100000 of gift cards in a single month. This is a lofty goal but with three orders in October we may reach it as last year with two orders we sold $60,000. The first group to reach this goal is going to receive an extra $400 in cash credited to their account. So if we can achieve this goal we will give that money back to the top 10 Sellers for the month...that's $40 cash each if we win this challenge. If we don't you will still raise the money towards next years hockey registration so you have nothing to loose.

**Remember you can print off order forms and sell gift cards to your family and friends to increase your sales**
** Start saving up for Christmas by buying cards early**

Are you tired of hockey fees that are always rising?

In past years, we have asked you to participate in many fundraisers for our hockey association - money that directly benefits each and every one of our children. But this year we discovered FUNDSCRIP, a new way to earn money for our association AND there is an added bonus with this program... you can earn money for yourself that will go towards this years and your future hockey fees.

While most of our fundraisers ask you to take out your checkbook or buy things you do not really want or need...
Fundscrip costs you nothing!
