LAHA MEMBERS,

We wanted to make sure you saw what impact you have had on the County government with all your statements on the rink capital improvement poll, open-ended responses to question 2

Also, here is the link for the poll on the projects the County had already chosen to have our input on, responses to question 1

If you did not see this in the newspapers, I copied the links here.  It appears the County government has made their decision on what they will support for this year, but now are talking about the next 5-7 year priorities.  We definitly made an impact for the majority of the statements were on the rink problems and new tennis court complex in WR.

LAHA MEMBERS,

I got an email from Coach Jeffrey that he took the LAHA Atom Team to the Coyote Classic and came in 2nd against a much larger number of NM Ice Wolves team but the 5 LAHA players gave them a very close game.  CONGRATULATIONS to these players who were stilll playing hockey this long after our rink closed.

LAHA MEMBERS,

At this time each year USAH provides a Player Development Camp in each affiliate.  This year it will be in Santa Fe at the GCCC, March 26, 2023 for both girls and boys with certain birth years.  Follow the link here for more information.

Also, this year USAH has added a couple of girls age groups.

This is because there is a newly announced Girls PDC for birth years 2009 and 2010 to augment the regular Girls PDC for 2006-2008.

1) Girls born 2006-2008 could be selected to advance to the Rocky Mountain District Player Development Camp, which is to be held in Irving, Texas in May. This is the pathway to be considered for selection to a USA Hockey National Camp and then to a US National Girls team.

2) Girls born 2009-2010 could be selected to advance to the Rocky Mountain District Girls High Performance Camp to be held in Ogden, Utah in June. The camp will focus on advanced development along with sessions pertaining to training, nutrition, and mental health, and future hockey opportunities.

LAHA MEMBERS,

As you know we have a big weekend this coming weekend for LAHA hockey and NM Ice Wolves.  With the beginning of the season, we always need help with scorekeepers and clock operators in the scorebox.  Our past president, Renee Dunwoody, put together a training video for this exact need.  Here is the link for this http://www.lahockey.org/Page.asp?n=177657&org=lahockey.org

In addition, she has left some printed materials at the rink desk for you to use further.  Let me know if you need any further help.  More in another email about this weekend and some things you need to know.
