(The above link is to Minnesota Hockey Camps.  High-end camp with great level of play.  Obviously, expensive with flights so if considered should really spend 2 or more weeks in Nisswa)

Blue Bombers Earns #1 in New York State

Below are the TOP TEN schools in this year's Scholar Athlete teams.  Out of approximately 125 NYS high school hockey programs, 84 teams qualified as scholar athlete teams.  We had 13 players meet the scholar-athlete standard and our top 8 propelled us to #1 in New York State.  We will coordinate a photo of the 13 Blue Bombers who were part of this select group for our area papers once our banner arrives.  Amazing job!

Year-End Banquet(s) - Monday, March 24th

To coordinate the team and school banquet we will move our team banquet to Monday, March 24th.   Katrina Kroes was willing to accommodate the change so both events could be on the same night.   



Our team banquet is on Monday, March 24th.

5:30 PM - 6:45 PM      
We will have our team banquet at the Crown Plaza's MacKenzie Room.  The Kroes' have graciously offered to provide us this location.  Team members will not be charged. Parents, grandparents and family members will pay $12.00 a person and children 12 & under will pay $8.00.

At this event we will reflect on and celebrate our hockey season.  We will also announce our individual award winners.  Team members are required to attend and should dress nicely.

The school Winter Sports Celebration will also be on Monday, March 24th 

7:00 PM-8:30 PM                    
In the Lake Placid HS auditorium will be the Winter Sports Banquet.  There, I  will summarize our year and distribute individual awards.  Also, Mrs. Brandes' slideshow will be shown on this night.
