This is from August 9th!

Dear Flyers

On July 30th,  the board had an emergency meeting to discuss the rink closure that currently is anticipated to continue until Oct 7th.  The following things were discussed

As a club we have no control over when Snoopy’s home ice will open.  We will need to continue to buy ice from other rinks (most likely Vacaville, Oakland and possibly San Jose) for our practices and for our pre-season games.  September will be hard for our travel teams, as the schedule is not set that far in advance but we will try very hard to make sure everyone gets as much ice as possible.  We want the ice times to be fair and equitable.  Our Scheduler, Kevin, has done a phenomenal job obtaining ice slots for our travel teams for the month of August.  He has already begun the daunting task of trying to make it work for Sept also.

Our first weekend of ‘clinics’ start in 3 days.  I believe practices start in the following weekends.   We need every travel player to be registered on the website before that can attend any practices.  If you have a travel player, and are not registered, now is the time to do it.  If you do not have the link, please email your coach, manager or myself, and we will provide the link for you.  Last night, all coaches and managers were sent a list of who has registered.  If you are not registered, your coach and manager may be reaching out to you.

The board is also vested in getting the mite program started.  Mites will start the weekend after Labor Day with a one hour ice slots each weekend.  Because Snoopy’s home ice will be closed, they too will have to travel.  Mite aged kids should have gotten an email last night with this information.  I hope to have the mite registration up on the website by Aug 15th.  We are shooting to get them to the first Mite Jamboree on Sept 28th and 29th.  Please keep an eye on the webpage for information/registration for mites.

Intro and house kids: These programs will hopefully start in October after the rink opens.  I have set up ‘pre-registrations’ for both of these programs.  Families who want to be alerted and updated on these programs please ‘pre-register’.   The pre-registration is completely free (you don’t even need a usa hockey number) and does not commit you to anything other than receiving emails once we have more information about the program of your choice.  You can pre-register for both, if both programs interest you.   Links to the pre-registrations will be going up on the webpage later today.

There is another board meeting (regular board meeting) scheduled next Tuesday.  If you have issues you wish to discuss please contact Karli our secretary to have them placed on the agenda.   Her email address is secretary@santarosaflyers.org

Thank you everyone for your patience while we get through this time with our rink being renovated.  Feel free to contact myself or any board member with questions.  Our emails can be found on our webpage

Thank you
