PLEASE REMEMBER TOO THAT YOU SHOULD REGULARLY CHECK THE WEBSITE www.erieladylions.com FOR TIMBIT UPDATES. THIS IS OUR SOURCE FOR COMMUNICATING WITH YOU.
WHAT TO WEAR TO THE RINK AND RINK POLICIES
- WHAT TO WEAR UNDER YOUR EQUIPMENT: It is warm on the ice and we do not want to over heat our players.
Under your equipment please wear a pair of shorts (soccer type) and a long sleeve Tee-shirt.
- SOCKS: Lightest possible pair but make sure they come up over the ankle.
- LOCKER-ROOMS AND GETTING DRESSED: You MUST come to the rink complete dress and ready to go on
the ice. You may put your skates, helmet and gloves on at the rink. We do not use locker rooms to get dressed
for security reasons. USA Hockey requires that anyone in a locker room with a child must have background screening.
At $65 per person we cannot afford to screen over 200 people. Our coaches and Board who have access to the locker rooms
are screened for your childs safety.
- Washroom: Please make sure that you go take your player to the bathroom before they go on the ice. Coaches cannot
take players to the bathroom. Only the parent can. We will have helpers to assist you with skates and helmets.
- CAMERAS: Bring your camera, as some of the best video you will get will be the first few weeks.
- ONE ICE/PARENT VIEWING: Do not be concerned if your child does not immediately skate and sits
on the ice a few times. Each child develops on their own time. View your child but PLEASE...stay away from the glass
as this is distracting to your child. The coaches need your child's attention. Only coaches and program staff are allowed
on the opposite side of the rink.
- COACHING OPPORTUNITIES: We encourage parents to get involved in coaching. IF you have hockey
experience, we want you. Coaching education Level I Clinic for USA Hockey is held in Erie on Sept 12. Let us know
of your interest. Our parent coaching policy allows you to work with your own child once they are placed on a team but prior
to that time, we ask you to work with another group. it is easier on your child and you...
- VOLUNTEERS: We need your help during TIMBIT Program times to help set up the rink patrol boards,
take attendance, be a team parent, and many other duties. Please volunteer and get involved.
- USA HOCKEY REGISTRATION: You will receive an email from USA Hockey in the next few weeks saying
your child is registered with USAH. This is your player insurance and membership. WE HAVE A COPY SO PLEASE DO NOT BRING
A COPY TO US. THE EMAIL VERIFICATION IS YOURS. You will get a great magazine monthly and many other benefits
from USA Hockey. Please keep this form and do not bring us a copy. We have one. If you change your personal information,
you need to let ELLGHA (eriehockey@earthlink.net) know as well as USA Hockey. (1-800-566-3288).
- PROGRAM COST: We think $80 and $125 is a great deal compared to other programs that are $500 and
up. ELLGHA subsidizes this program by $13K each year. The Sarah Tournament is our only fundraiser for this, so when
asked to volunteer and sell ads. PLEASE HELP!! Here is what the program costs to run...
- Ice-$225 her hour.
- USA Hockey individual player membership-$35
- Coaches screening and registration-$95-$110
- Coaching education-$45-$200 per coach
- Equipment replacement and maintenance-$50-$300
- WE JUST WANT YOU TO HAVE A GREAT TIME, BECAUSE "THE #1 REASON TO PLAY HOCKEY IS TO HAVE FUN
AND THAT IS OUR #1 GOAL"
- There are no refunds after the program starts.

called to recieve their team jersey and a treat. Bring the cameras and join us for the fun. Players will follow the team schedule
after the draft night. A list of coordinating team letters and colours will be posted prior to the draft for the following
weekend. Please note that there are 5 draft sessions. If your child is unable to attend, please make sure you email
us by Thursday of draft day for your childs team colour and letter. they will get their jersey at that Saturdays practice.

November's SECOND practice will be the hand put
for the ad sales that support our program and keep prices down. We ask that each player sells a minimum of $20 in tournament
program ads. Remember that for an additional 10% of each ad price, your ad can be in the Timboree and the Sarah program too.
What a great way to tell your Timbit how special they are to Grammy, Gramps and you.

INTEREST IN TIMBIT HOCKEY REACHES HIGHEST ENROLLMENT ON GREAT LAKES
We have been able to reach what we thought would take 4 more years to accomplish...age
appropriate groups in Timbit Minor Hockey. ue to the enrollment numbers, we will be able to group players in USA Hockey
ADM appropriate groups for skill development. Over the first three-four weeks of the program, you will see that the
players gradually will be grouped by age and within those age groups there will be skill appropriate groups. With the Draft,
the teams will be formed but skill development groups will take 1/2 of the scheduled Timbit practice time. There will
be three different drafts: Timbit 1 (ages 4/5)October 21 Timbit Blue (ages 6/7)October 14 and Timbit Red (ages 8-10
with selected 7s) October 7.

Timbit Red (4 teams will have 1/2 ice practices with full ice games-

Timbit I (ages 4/5) with cross ice controlled games with skill stations as mandated
by Hockey Canada Timbit Minor Hockey and USA Hockey ADM.
