Week of December 7th

From Coach Frank:

The schedule is out for our tournament this coming weekend (click here). We play twice on Friday and once on Saturday. There are 6 teams in the tournament and 4 of the 6 make it into the playoff round which is on Sunday.

I ask each family to please reply to me no later than end of day Wednesday letting me know if your son will make it to all the games or will miss any. For example, please let me know if you will not be able to pull your son from school for any of the games on Friday. Thanks. I have copied the schedule below as well as directions to our Saturday game. We are asked to arrive 45 minutes before game time as they are known to start the games 15 minutes early (one of my Peewee games this past weekend at the Peewee BSP tournament started a full 15 mins before the scheduled time and another about 8 minutes before the scheduled time).

Directions to Cavanagh Sensplex for Saturday's game: Cavanagh Sensplex (in KINBURN) (brand new, state of the art single pad facility). This facility is located at 5670 Carp Rd - approximately 7 minutes past the Village of Carp when traveling from central Ottawa. If you have a game scheduled at the "Cavanagh Sensplex", please allow approximately 25 minutes in travel time from the Bell Sensplex during good driving conditions. The recommended route from Ottawa or areas east of the city (including coming in from southern Ontario via Hwy 416) is to take Hwy 417 to Carp Rd and head North.


From Nathalie:


Please note that we would like to take this opportunity to get the team together for a holiday party. We have booked one hour of game time at iPlay (SensPlex location) for Friday Dec 11 at 4:45 p.m. (after our 3:30 game). We have tentatively booked Stanley's (at the Sensplex) for 5:45 - confirmation to follow shortly (if not Stanley's, then I will find a restaurant nearby). Gaming, pizza and pop will be provided for the players via the team budget. Parents and siblings are welcome, and are responsible for their own food and beverages. I must confirm the total number of attendees for the reservation by Thursday December 10. Can you please advise me, via return email - by no later than Wednesday -(a) whether your child will attend and (b) how many parents and siblings will attend as well.

To make things fun, we will have a Wacky Gift Exchange. Here's how it works. Each player should bring a wrapped gift (value of no more than $10). Players should be encouraged to wrap their gifts in an imaginative way, a way that doesn't give away what is inside. For example, a gift card could be wrapped in an old DVD or CD case ... a DVD could be wrapped in a shoe box ... a $10 bill can be wrapped ina toilet paper tube .. etc ... Gifts can be a bit weird or humourous but they should be something that your child wouldn't mind receiving themselves. Here's how the Wacky Gift Exchange works:

1-wrapped gifts are set out on a table
2-numbers are put in a hat
3-each player pulls a number from the hat; that is the order in which the players choose a gift
4-the first player gets to choose a gift from the pile, and opens it
5-the second player has the choice of taking a gift from the pile, or "stealing" the gift opened by player number 1
6-and so on
7-if a player's gift is stolen, then they get to steal a gift or pick one from the pile
8-play continues until all the gifts are open
9-at the end, player number 1 gets to steal any of the opened gifts or keep his own gift
10-a gift can be stolen a maximum of 4 times - after 4 times, it is "frozen" (this ensures the game doesn't continue til the wee hours of the morning!)
11-there is nothing to prevent players from making trades after the game is over

Please email me by WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 9 to let me know how many people will accompany your child to the party. Thanks!
