TGHA Photography
 
Mike Kirk distributed photos last week to those who ordered team and individual photos from him after the December photo shoots at TGHA practices (more shoots will be scheduled for those who didn't get photographed yet).  If you didn't get your order or you have questions about your order or you wish to order reprints, Mike can be reached at 227-0280, mlkirk716@twcny.rr.com.
 
Thanks Mike (and his support crew!) for handling TGHA photography this year and for the discounted price you offered us along with your good quality work and customer service.
 
Mike is a 14U dad and coach!
 
IHS Boys Invite Youth Players
 
The IHS boys' hockey team will play its next home game at the Rink at 1:30 pm this Saturday Jan. 13 against Oswego.  The game is earlier in the day than normal to encourage younger hockey players from the area to attend.  Anyone wearing a hockey jersey will get free admission to the game.  We hope to see a lot of TGHA players at the game!  Please spread the word to everyone you know.
