Smokette Sign-up Info

Happy Friday Smokettes and future Smokettes!

We have not had anyone step up to organize and host a sign-up night so it will be online this year.

The registration rate will remain at $225 and there will be no limit on the number of participants this year.  If this fee will bring financial hardship, please reach out to a member of the executive (more info to come in the next few weeks introducing the executive) for assistance.  This information will be kept completely confidential. 

The schedule for this year is currently:

•  Thursday 7:00PM - 8:00PM (Trail, Kids Rink)  - Starts Oct. 6 (this may change if someone wants the 6:30 timeslot, stay tuned)
  
•  Saturday 7:15PM - 8:30PM (Rossland Arena) - Starts Oct. 8 (tentatively)

Deadline for registration is Sept. 30, 2022 (Friday) so we can get our insurance going in time for our first ice slot on Oct 6. 

Registration form is attached and payment can be made by e-transfer to smokettedeposit@gmail.com

Payment is non-refundable and is required before you step on the ice.

Send the Smokette Player Contract back to trailsmokettes@gmail.com

That is all for now. Once we get both Contract and fees you will be added to BenchApp and off we go for another marvelous season.

Cheers, Beers, Brassieres,

Smoketttes!

2022 - 2023 Season - Welcome Email!

 Hi Everyone,

We're looking forward to another great season! 

Starting with good knews, vaccination passports are no longer required to enter the rink! However, COVID regulations could change so please be prepared and ready to adapt.

The registration rate will remain at $225 and there will be no limit on the number of participants this year.  If this fee will bring financial hardship, please reach out to a member of the executive for assistance.  This information will be kept completely confidential. 

The schedule for this year is currently:

•  Thursday 7:45PM - 8:45PM (Trail, Kids Rink)  - Starts Oct. 6
  
•  Saturday 7:15PM - 8:30PM (Rossland Arena) - Starts Oct. 8 (tentatively)
  

Note: We are still negotiating with Trail Arena to get something closer to 7 PM.

Deadline for registration is Sept. 30, 2022 (Friday) so we can get our insurance going in time for our first ice slot on Oct 6. Registration and insurance paperwork will be sent out next week. They are both mandatory to play (plus fees).

We are looking for three (3) volunteers (so far) this year to help out:

First, we are looking for someone to run our sign-up night.  In previous years, we have had a sign-up night gathering (BBQ, baseball, etc.). If you're interested, let us know. This would have to be held before Sept. 30. If not (or you can't attend), don't worry we will be accepting registration via email.

Second, we are looking for a scheduler to take on managing the Rossland Ice Times and coordinate Saturday games with other teams (male and female). If you're interested, let us know.

Lastly (for now), with the increase in numbers on our roster, it has been proposed that we may benefit from moving to a three group system - somewhat like a mini-league but this will not go forward unless someone volunteers to take a poll and organize it. This would most likely be for the 2023-2024 season. However, as it would be a change, we would need to start preparing this season. If you are keen to see this go ahead, please let us know. The general idea for this would be:

• Every player would rate their skill level.
  
• Every player would be designated/drafted to one of the three groups - groups would have even skill distribution & accommodate carpool logistics.
  
• Ice nights would be associated to two groups; third would have an assigned bi.
  
• On ice nights, the two groups playing would mix-up as we have always done then scrimmage.
  
• If you were unable to attend your assigned night, you would be responsible for finding a spare from the group with the bi.
• The schedule would ensure that over a two week time, every group got 2 playing times. Every second Saturday would be schedule to play an external team, anyone from the 3 groups can attend.
  
• There are lots of logistics to sort out still including: goalies, equal distribution of games, benchapp, playing other teams.
  

Look forward to the volunteers!

Beers, Cheers, Brasiers

Tournament Games Choice

Hi, Ladies!

Thank you for you interest in playing in our annual tournament - 27 of us!

I would ask that you email me directly as soon as possible to let me know which team you would like to play on. The fee will be $20 per game - Team 1 players will pay $40 and Team 2 players $60. This can be e-transferred to the team email with the usual password.

Please email me directly at cjamantea at gmail.com to let me know your preference as soon as you can...

Team 1 = 2 games. Saturday 9:00 am, Saturday 6:55 pm

Team 2 = 3 games. Friday 9:45 pm, Saturday 11:50 am, Sunday 1:15 pm

I am not the person making lines :) That will be done by someone else closer to the tournament.

Please commit to one of the two teams. It is a bit of a headache to have people picking and choosing games in the sense of making sure we don't have crazy numbers (low or high). There is a chance that we will have to re-jig the teams if one or the other has too many skaters. 

Looking forward to a weekend of fun!

Carolyn
