It's Time To Register for 2008!

Mark your Calendar!

This year’s hockey registration will be at the Arkansas Skatium on:

Wednesday August 20 from 6:00 – 8:00 pm (During Skills and Drills)

Or

Saturday August 23 from 2:00 – 4:00 pm (During Public Session; Bring your skates!)

Please remember that you must register for USA Hockey first (http://www.usahockeyregistration.com/) and bring your confirmation page with you to the rink. USA Hockey registration costs $35.00; $30 goes to USA Hockey, and $5 goes to the Southern Amateur Hockey Association (SAHA), which is our USA hockey affiliate.

Click on the Registration tab to the left to find the forms you need for registration; please print them, fill them out and bring them to the rink with you (we need original signed copies for our records). If you are registering with AHA for the first time, we also need a copy of your child’s birth certificate.

We’ll have more information about ice fees, Kroger Cards, and playing options; including the newSATURDAY MORNING HOUSE LEAGUE!

See you at the rink!

Help Needed
This is a plea for your help.  The Arkansas Hockey Association is a volunteer organization, and without volunteers, the organization (and local hockey) suffers.  Every year we must beg for people to donate their time to make everything work, and, unfortunately, very few people participate.
 
Currently, here's a list of volunteers that we need:
One mite representative
One bantam representative
One fundraising director
 
If you don't know what these positions are responsible for, here's a brief rundown:
Representatives:  meet once a month for about an hour, discussing issues that the organization is facing, and solving any problems with those issues.
Fundraising Director: coordinate fund raising efforts to reduce the overall cost of playing hockey for all of our members
 
More detailed information may be found at www.arkansashockey.org in the bylaws.
 
Don't just complain about the way things are going (or not going)!  This is your opportunity to speak out and to have a say in what is going on with youth and adult hockey!  Your kids love hockey, or they wouldn't be playing it.  Your efforts will ensure that hockey is still around for your kids to enjoy.
 
Please volunteer.  It generally doesn't take that much time out of your schedule--maybe a couple hours a month.
 
If you are interested in volunteering, simply email me and we'll help you get started.
 
On behalf of the current Board,
Thank you,
Simone
