Another Year, Another Great Tournament! With another November tournament behind us, we are thrilled to report that we reached our fundraising goal once again! This means we will proudly be awarding two $1,250 scholarships at the end of this school year. A special shoutout to Marc S. for his continued efforts in organizing this event and making it a huge success. Also, a big thank you to Paul P., Jason J. (JJ), and Brandon C. for their hard work behind the scenes. Our incredible bartenders Brooke, Kayla, and Courtenay kept things running smoothly all weekend, and we appreciate their efforts! Thanks also go to Pyper and Dave S., along with our referees, for keeping things in check at ice level. And of course, we couldn’t do this without our amazing sponsors—please support these local businesses that continue to give back year after year: Players Bench Sports Bridge Interiors Rocky Mountain Appraisal Top Crop, Garden Farm & Pet Boston Pizza Spring Honda Northstar GM A&W Restaurant The Heid Out Restaurant & Brewhouse Inland Kenworth Cranbrook St. Liquor Store Thank you all for your support—see you next year!

Wrapping Up a Great Year & Looking Forward Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! I wanted to take a moment to reflect on another great season and share some key updates from our AGM. Both Jason T. and I were re-elected, with this marking my final two-year term as President. Despite a tough first half of the season, including losing the Memorial Arena, we adapted and kept the league moving forward. Special thanks to Roger D. for keeping things organized during that stretch! Giving Back to the Community Our commitment to supporting local causes continues. On June 4, we awarded two deserving MBSS students with $1,250 scholarships. Additionally, our golf tournament raised $5,430 for charity, which we have topped up to $8,000—$5,000 will go to the Cranbrook Food Bank, and $3,000 to Cranbrook Street Angels. A huge thank you to our sponsors, donors, and the staff at the Cranbrook Golf Club for making this possible. What’s Next?Online registration is now open for the 2019-2020 season, with in-person registration starting mid-August at Players Bench. Fees will remain at $375 for full-time players and $50 for the spare list. Enjoy your summer, and see you next season! Scott S.

Season Updates & Ice Time Challenges Hey Fellas! I know many of you are wondering about the ice situation for the upcoming season.

I will provide updates as soon as I receive more details from the City. Final Call for Registration!We are down to the last couple of weeks before the September 15 registration deadline. Get your registrations in now to secure your spot! Looking forward to another great season! Scott S.
