Almost all of this is subject to change, depending on time constraints and amount of teams.
-Games will be 3 on 3.
-The cost will be $15 per player.
-There will be two periods ten minutes long and running clock. First round games may be shorter, later round games may be extended. The time limits and whether there is a running clock greatly depends on the amount of teams. If there are too many, the first round will be shortened and the later games will be extended when it is apparent that we have enough time. (may change depending on the amount of teams)
-Games will have at least one ref.
We are still looking for refs that will ref for free and preferably ones that have been certified.-Penalties will result in penalty shots.
-Teams should have at least one sub.
-If you cannot find a goalie, a goalie can be provided to you. You may also share a goalie between multiple teams. The goalie only has to pay once.
-Trophies will be awarded to the winners of the tournament, addition awards may go to the players with significant stats(most goals, most points, etc)
-all teams should bring a white and black shirt to play in. If you have another color jersey/shirt already in mind bring it but bring the other shirts just in case.
If your ready to start signing a team up, you can do so thru email. Make sure that the person the emails me checks it regularly so that you can get updates if things change.
Pick a captian(preferably the one emailing) so i can contact one person per team.
Make the Subject: HOCKEY TEAM
so that it is easy to pick out.
Copy the following and fill it in(the form assumes the captian is a player):
Team Name:
Team Color(if applicable):
Captain Name(first and last:
Captain Phone Number:
Captain age:
Captain Number:
(copy and fill this out for each addition player.)
Player Name(first and last):
Player age:
Player number:
You can also sign up as a single if you can't find a team. Just use the "Player" form and make the email subject "HOCKEY SINGLE"
That's all the information that I believe I need now. Try to get it in as soon as possible so I can get some sort of numbers on how many teams, and how many players are coming, so i can order food and figure out how long games will be.
Note:Teams may be combined. For example if your a team of 3 and your friends with another team of 3, I may need you too combined with one another in order to make room.
General
These are plans that we have so far, some are definetes and some are still up in the air because of the short time we've had to plan this.
-The rink is reserved for August 2nd. The times are subject to change.
-There will be food and drinks available to buy, possibly an all you can eat type thing. Some food is already being donated by local restaurants. Other food will include burgers and hot dogs(etc) off a grill.
-As of now the fund raising bank account is still being processed. If you know of a company that would like to
donate, it would be better to wait until the account gets set up so that they can write a check straight to the account. If you absolutely cannot wait to donate, then I can take cash donations.
-We are attempting to get a raffle set up. We already have a couple sets Pens tickets for next season, and a autographed stick. We are in the process of getting more.
- We are attempting to get Penguin support. Any donations of things to raffle off or money is what we're hoping for. We are also working on getting actually Penguins player(s) to make an appearance which is very possible, but no guarantees.
- I am hoping to get some sort of Hockey vendor there, similar to how the PHRHL gets KoSports during playoffs.
-Money jars are going to be distributed to local companies, feel free to do the same.
-Some money made will go to making a plaque to be put up at the PHRHL.
If you have any questions, suggestions, something to contribute or anything else, email me.
If you know players that I wouldn't, then get them to make teams.
SPREAD THE WORD
ALL EMAIL SHOULD BE SENT TO kjfhockey@gmail.com.
Donations
If you or your company would like to make a contribution, donation, or would like to appear and set up a booth at the rink the day of the tournament send me an email with your plans. I deas for that include donation food that we can sell, things we can raffle, or anything else that would attract people and bring in money. ALL PROCEEDS WILL GO TO the Mario Lemieux Foundation.
I am currently having a tax free, non-profit organization bank account being set up, but is being processed through the IRS and may not be set up until a few days before the tournament. I may be able to handle a few checks personally but because it will look like income I would rather not accept any. If time runs out before the tournament we will ask that you just make the check out to the Mario Lemieux Foundation and give them to us so that we can donate it all at once. I will accept all cash donations.
If you would like to set up a donation box somewhere for us or hang up a flyer, the official flyer can be downloaded
here.
If you do not have Microsoft PowerPoint, you can download a light weight PowerPoint viewer
