Ithaca Shooting Stars Tournament

Thanks to Participating Teams!

Dec. 7, 2007

 

It's been a full and busy week since we were all gathered in Ithaca for the Shooting Stars Invitational!

 

Thank you for coming.  We continue to have wintry weather; even a snow day on Tuesday!  Who would have thought we would have the conditions we had while you were in town!  Good thing hockey families are hardy and happy (well, most of the time!).

 

Since I could only be at one rink at a time, many of us didn't get to talk during the weekend.  Please feel free to send me your feedback on the hotels, the rinks, the referees, the raffle, the tournament divisions, etc.  We continue to strive for the best tournament experience we can provide, but there are so many variables that can't be controlled....like the two refs who arrived late for the first championship game putting us off schedule from the start (and forcing us to shorten formalities like the national anthem, etc.). Thanks for your feedback.

 

Here is the link for The Ithaca Journal's Monday coverage.  Since an Ithaca team won one of the championships, the article focused on that.  We had News10Now at The RINK on Friday for the opening 12U game, and we have submitted news and photos to many of the area newspapers.  If you need anything from me to help with your local coverage, let me know.

All game scores are on our web site, and soon I will post a narrative with highlights of each game:

Thanks to everyone who brought used or new winter clothing for the Share the Warmth collection box.

 

I also want to send you the contact information for Paul Johnson Sports Photography.  Paul and Patty enjoy the annual tournament, and have posted the photos on their site and are prepared to fulfill your orders that were made at the event and now from your home computer.
