Congratulations to our Peewee B1 White Team!! District Champions!! Way to go boys!! Good Luck in Regions!

A great opportunity for kids to get on the ice this summer and enjoy ‘pond-hockey’ with friends! Games will be leveled, half-ice, and 3v3 or 4v4. This format drastically increases puck touches for skaters and shots on net for goalies!! No formal rules or positions, just kids having fun playing hockey!! THIS IS NOT A CAMP OR SKILLS PRACTICE.
-Registration for kids 1st - 7th grade (2017/2018 school year).
-Adult supervision provided.
-Full hockey gear required. Skaters are expected to gear up independently. Parents of younger skaters will need to assist their child if necessary.
-Appropriate behavior will be expected: fighting and/or misconduct will not be tolerated.
-Kids had a blast last year and spots are limited, so don’t delay registering!!!

Time: 9:30-11:00

S.K.A.T.E. is an academic recognition program designed to encourage youth hockey players to strive for excellence in the 
classroom.  As competitors, young players set goals for themselves on the ice and in the classroom. Like the cheers they hear for goals, assists and good hustle, they respond positively to recognition and reward for their performances in the classroom.

 Student athletes must have a Grade Point Average (or equivalent) of 3.0 or above to qualify.
 
 Fill out this form and return with a copy of student’s latest report card by February 27, 2017  to Tara Hallberg 1006 Wentlock Ct NW Isanti 55040, or put in Secretary’s box in Arena office or email to hallbergs81101@yahoo.com
 
Player recognition will be at North Isanti Baptist Church on March 27.

All School age CIHA registered players are eligible to participate.   Report cards from end of 1st Trimester or midterm grades for 2nd tri will be accepted.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

Thanks to High School Boys Hockey Coach Chris Sylvester and Bluejackets players Logan Hyland (Goalie), Austin Schlenker, Brennen Skelton, Jared Koenen for leading a practice for the Squirt A and B1 teams on Monday January 23rd. The kids and coaches had a great time!

Thank you to ALL for supporting the 5th Annual Coaches Game.  The 2016 event was a HUGE success!!!

We were able to gather nearly 250 lbs of food

AND

Generated just over $1900.00 for the Food Shelf...YES $1,900.00

We had 30 Coaches

AND

Over 200 spectators

WOW!!!

We essentially had 40% increase over last year.  All of this would not be possible if it were not for the hard work of Alicia Overby, Jamie Sherman and Courtney Pope.  They organized the bake sale, chuck a puck, sign making, raffled gifts, door prizes, hot dog eating competition, raffle baskets and were the glue holding the entire event together.  A special thanks to Mike Heiderscheid for announcing, music, and clock, Larry "Boom Boom" Bacon and Mark "Mad Dog" Radeke for reffing, Greg Jarvela for scheduling, Sarah Reinhart for working the ticket box, and the CIHA Board as well as the Isanti Arena for supporting the entire event.  I also would like to point out that the Raffle Baskets were a HUGE success this year.  To ALL the teams that put a basket together, a heart felt ....THANK YOU!

I BIG thank you to all the COACHES who came out and supported the cause.  With out the coaches there is no show, no fundraising, no event.  I cant thank you enough for coming out and sacrificing your time (and body in some cases) for the betterment of our community during the holiday season.  I hope you all feel better about dessert during the holidays, knowing you just got your workout in!

A special thanks to the Cambridge Isanti High School boys and girls hockey coaches, who again showed tremendous support by attending the event, participating, and allowing us to use their jerseys.  Way to go guys!  Cambridge-Isanti Youth Hockey is honored to have your continued support.

To ALL.... No doubt it is a very busy time of year for all of us, and your attendance, participation, and support of this event is greatly appreciated.  Our loyal hockey community should be proud of our accomplishments and relish in the holiday cheer of helping those in need.  I feel blessed and extremely proud to be a member of such a wonderful community.

Thank you ALL!

and Happy Holidays

Jeremie Reinhart
