A letter from the President...

As our teams finish their tiering round games and get ready to start the regular season, I would like to take a moment to wish all our Leafs teams the best of luck. The hockey season is long, with many ups and downs. If we keep a positive attitude and always do our best to support our kids and their teammates throughout the season, I know it’ll be a great one!

There are few events coming up that can be both fun and give us an opportunity to give back to the sport we love. The Leafs Ice Centre, in conjunction with USA Hockey, will be hosting Try Hockey For Free on Saturday 11/12/16 from 12:40 – 1:40 pm. This free event is a great opportunity for kids between the ages of 4 and 9 who are new to the sport of hockey to come out and skate for an hour and see if they enjoy it. We encourage all our Leafs skaters to come out and volunteer to be out on the ice with these young kids. Volunteers should arrive at Noon and plan to stay until 2:00 pm. I hope to see many of you there! Please spread the word about this great event to your friends and family. 

If you or your child is interested in becoming certified as a referee, please go to the Illinois Hockey Officials Association website at ihoa.com for registration information. The last chance to become certified as a referee for this season will be on 11/23/16. There is a shortage of officials in Illinois. Becoming a referee is a great way for young skaters to make some extra money, and to learn and gain a greater appreciation for the game of hockey.

The club will be periodically sending out letters with details of upcoming activities as well as letters from the different Executive Board members. If team managers or parents have any interesting team news or stories they would like to see shared with the club in these communications, please contact or Recognition Manager, Patty Pifer at rpifer0347@comcast.net with the details.

Again, good luck to all of our teams this season and….GO LEAFS!
