Welcome to the 27th Annual Scarborough Sharks Ice Trials! • We are very excited to have 124 teams from all over Ontario and the US participating in this year’s Ice Trials Tournament. We’re looking forward to a thrilling weekend of competition. Our tournament is mainly run by parents, players and volunteers who take pride in our association and work hard to ensure a positive overall tournament experience for everyone. If you get the opportunity, please be sure to thank them as we couldn’t do it without their dedication. • In addition, the following organizations have also contributed graciously in order to make this tournament a success. Their support is much appreciated: • The City of Toronto and their Recreation Centre & Arena Staff • Canlan Ice Sports – Scarborough and the Thirsty Penguin, our Tournament Headquarters • HTG Sports, our exclusive travel partner • The Bartlett Group Family Restaurants “McDonald’s Restaurants" our “PLAYER OF THE GAME" Sponsor, • National Sports our "OFFICIAL GAME PUCK" Supplier • Hockey Experts • Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (Carlton the Bear and the Leafs Game Crew) • A special thank you also goes out to our Tournament Director, Greg and his team, for all their behind the scenes work to make this tournament an exceptional experience for all the coaches, players and families. • For the first time, we have created a new Tournament E-Program; this initiative was established to reduce our environmental impact by eliminating the printing of full tournament programs. It also enables you to navigate to various helpful web-links directly from the e-program. We hope you like this new initiative. • In closing, my challenge to all the teams this year… represent your association with pride, compete hard, respect all players, coaches, parents and officials, but most of all, HAVE FUN! • Happy New Year! • Patrick Carew • President • Scarborough Sharks Girls Hockey Association • EST. 1978 Back to Index
