On Thursday, October 25^th, the Chartiers Valley Hockey Club had a presentation honoring Scotty Katonka and the Katonka Family.  Members of the CV JV team presented flowers, jersey’s, and team pictures to the Katonka family, followed by a prayer and moment of silence by President Dan Falcioni.  The following letter was received from the family.

 I would like to thank the Chartiers Valley Hockey Club, the coaches, the parents and most importantly the players for this special tribute tonight.  As many of you know Scotty had a tough season last year.  After his 3^rd concussion in the season he knew this upcoming season was going to be very limited ice until at least January.  During one of the many heartfelt and tear filled conversations, Scotty said, “Mom – I don’t want to give up one of the things I love the most – hockey.”  I told him “day by day – we are not giving up – just cutting back until you felt better”.  One of my many dreams I had for Scotty was to graduate from Chartiers Valley as a varsity hockey player.   As I try to come to the realization that will not happen – I now share that dream with all the young men and women that proudly wear the Colt hockey jersey.  I am proud of the way you are handling yourselves in a time where so many of you have a void.  Scotty was your teammate, friend, and to many of you - a brother.  Thank you for your continued kind words of encouragement and support.  I wish the Chartiers Valley Hockey Club teams a very safe and successful season.

Dear Parents,

For my senior project i chose to do a Pink-Out for a hockey game. I will be selling pink shirts at school and Varsity games. I will do my best to make a few JV and Freshman games but i don't know how many i will be able to make. The shirts are $10. We have S,M,L,XL,and XXL. A picture of the shirt is attached and all the profit goes to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. I am asking everyone to wear the shirt at the Bishop Canevin game on Nov. 12.

Thank You,

Robert Ferrari #33

You can also contact Pam Ferrari for alternate ways to purchase the shirts at hockeymom33@comcast.net

CV Hockey is participating in the First Niagara Pavilion’s Fundraising Program. 

1. There are typically around 20 events which run from May to Sept. that we will staff.

2. Our volunteers (usually 3 or 4 per event) staff a "bunker" which sells beer and Jack Daniels bottled drinks, along with soft drinks and bottled water.

3. Starting time is typically between 5:00-6:00 pm, and expect to be there until between 11:00 pm-12:00 am.

4. Anyone can volunteer on your child’s behalf as long as they are 18 years of age.

5. We make a commission of 4.5% on the beverage sales at our bunker for each event. The average amount earned per volunteer per event is around $60.00, which is applied to your child's hockey account.

6. In order to participate in this fundraiser you and your volunteers MUST be certified.There are two classes that you must take for certification A. A Ramp Class given by an LCB Instructor. B. The TEAM Class is also alcohol related. Both classes are approximately 2 hours long. Once you have taken the class you are certified for 3 years.  

If you are interested in this Fundraiser and are currently certified, I need a list of names and contact information for you and your certified participants. If you are not certified and are interested in participation, please contact me ASAP for the schedule of upcoming classes.  

Thanks,

Dan Falcioni
