Spring 2012 Tournament in NY

The Cheetahs plan to participate in the Special Hockey Tournament scheduled for Jamestown, NY from March 22 -25, 2012. We are in the process of planning the trip and to determine the level of interest to decide how many teams we will register and what size bus to rent.

If you are interested in attending please contact Cheetah Dads Andy Rothstein (arothstein@lmi.org) and David Blaisdell (dsblasid@bechtel.com) by December 31, 2011. Facts (not FAQs):

  • Everyone on the team regardless of experience and skill can participate. It is great weekend - both as a social and competitive experience. 
  • We usually leave on Thursday morning and return on Sunday afternoon. Plan on missing two days of school and work. 
  • We expect the bus ride to be about 7 hours each way including one or two lunch and rest stops 
  • We have a block of double rooms at Clarion hotel which is walking distance to the rink ($109 per night. 
  • We will likely have 3 games per team (3 for C and 3 for B)

Cheetahs Visit the White House

Fellow Cheetahs,

On Friday, March 11th, Maurice V. was one of the five players from the American Special Hockey Association (ASHA), among a group of 70 children, who joined President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama along with members of the Chicago Blackhawks and Washington Capitals as part of the Let’s Move initiative.

The day started of with a ceremony with President Obama honoring the 2009-2010 Stanley Cup Champion CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS. Following the ceremony, First Lady Michelle Obama, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and USA Hockey Executive Director Dave Ogrean presided over a street hockey workout and clinic on a rink set up on the South Lawn of the White House. The clinic for local youngsters, which was conducted by members of the Blackhawks and Washington Capitals, is part of a new collaboration between Mrs. Obama’s Let’s Move! initiative, the NHL and USA Hockey to encourage American children to lead active and healthy lives.

American Special Hockey Association President Mike Hickey and myself, the Legislative Director of ASHA programs and Head Coach of the Montgomery Cheetahs also accompanied the five players.

I thought would share a few pictures from the event with you. Along with the great pictures of Maurice is a picture of Aiden from the Cool Cats giving the President a high-5. Aiden wasn’t able to make it to front row so I put him on my shoulders and bee-lined to the front line (through the crowd) in time to get the President’s attention for a high-5. Please share these pictures with your athletes.

I will not be at practice this Saturday, March 19th. I’ll be coaching my daughter Erica’s team at the Pony Tail Tournament in York, PA. She has a game tonight at 5:00 PM. Coach Kryan Kennedy will be leading the Cheetah Practice this weekend.

See you next weekend and have a great practice with Coach Kryan.

Coach David
