This Week in Hockey

We have two ice times on Wednesday.

1) Rossland with the Hooches.

2) Regular Wednesday ice. No goalies yet and we are adding Bring a Buddy as the numbers seem to be low. Sign up on BenchApp and bring someone for a fun time.

On Saturday in Rossland we have Mark coming to run some drills.

See you on the ice.

More Women's Hockey Options

Hello Smokettes, 

Chelyse Seifrit (Cougars) has contacted us regarding some more ice times and has welcome all of our players to participate. She is excited to be making a larger camaraderie in all the women who play hockey in the area. This will be great for simply networking between the teams/women in general and really putting a foot forwards in sparking up more women’s hockey here in Trail. 

It goes something like this:

15$ drop in or 75$ for the season – once a month Sunday ice time – 10-15min Warmup then – toss sticks in to mix up and play scrimmage (two 20 min periods)

Oct 22 – 6pm

Nov 26 – 4:45pm

Dec 10 – 4:45pm

Jan - TBD

Feb - TBD

Mar – TBD

There is no formal sign up – bring money and TRP# if you have one

For more information Chelyse’s Number is 250-231-2250

Thanks

Grindstone Camp Fundraiser | Midway

HI Ladies,

I am organizing a small skills camp in Midway, Oct 20th for my new charity called the Grindstone Award Foundation.  I'll attached a PDF for your info. We are actually bringing out Candice Moxley - who is one of the coaches for Markham Thunder of in the CWHL. She will be running it, which will be a very cool (and rare!) opportunity for the players in your area. 

The women of Midway really wanted to do something for the players in their area, but are now short on players. Would any of your players be interested in coming? 

Here is a link to it on the website: http://grindstoneaward.com/kootenay-okanagan-womens-development-camp/

Thanks!

Smokette 2017/2018 Away Tournament Policy

Smokette 2017/2018 Away Tournament Policy

1) Only those that have paid the current years fees are eligible to go to away tournaments.

2) 15 players and one goalie is the maximum number of players for each tournament team.

3) Two things are required for the Smokettes to commit to going to a tournament

- A general interest BenchApp will be set up to get interest for each tournament. This does not mean that you are on the tournament team it only give us back-up to officially sign up and pay the downpayment for the tournament. Once we have enough interest that will be deleted.

- Someone is required to step up and be the team leader for each tournament. This person is responsible for collecting money for that tournament, making sure we have enough players, organizing the team and booking hotel rooms......

 

4) Once we have confirmation of a spot in the tournament and someone to organize, an e-mail will be sent out with the details. This will include

- The organizer of the tournament

- Cost per person (tournament fee divided by 15, usually about $50 to $60)

- Specific name to use on e-transfer to specify what the money is for

5) Once the e-mail is sent out confirming that we are in the tournament the first 15 people to pay will be going to the tournament. This year we have e-transfer and we would like to try to use that for tournament money as well as giving cheque or cash to the organizer (or alternate) at hockey. This is a trial run this year and if it does not work we will let people know. We will try to send out an e-mail as soon as all 15 spots are filled up. If you send an e-transfer after the 15 spots are filled we will not accept the transfer.

6) If you play in a tournament you are not eligible to play in the next tournament to give the other Smokettes a chance to go play in a tournament. If we do not have enough people then we will open it up to all Smokettes.

First Ice Time Wed October 4th, 7:30pm

Hello All,

Our three regular ice times this year are as follows:

Wednesday's at 7:30pm for 1 hr, Trail Kids Ice for October, November and January

Thursday's at 7:15pm for 1 hr, Trail Kids Ice October through the end of March

Saturday nights in Rossland usually at 7:30pm for 1 hr 15 minutes, not every Saturday due to tournaments.

We have chosen to add every Wednesday this year for three months in hopes that we can self regulate ourselves as we may have up to 50 women this year on the roster. BenchApp is a great tool, let's aim for not more than 25 people on both Wednesday and Thursday and quick shifts. 

Check BenchApp or the google calendar on smokettes.com for up to date information and other additional ice times as everything is now up to date.

Thank you to all that have paid, we will have sign-up sheets for those of you that have not filled out one and remember our rule of PAY before you play.

See you on the ice.
