Danielle Kendall
The Calgary Blizzard Soccer Club has recently lost one of our players from the Blizzard family. Danielle Kendall was a talented Blizzard soccer player, and was expected back from Ecuador later this season to return to her ladies team. Danielle began as a minor player and graduated to our ladies league. She was very athletic and was active outside of the team in sports as well – excelling at track and field. Danielle will be very much missed by her coach and team mates, who were devastated by the news. Blizzard Soccer Club extends its deepest condolences to the Kendall family.

Bayern BMO Team of the Week!
Congratulations Blizzard Bayern,
Blizzard Bayern is proud to be selected as the BMO Team of the Week for May 1-8. Over the last season, our U10 girls have proven that they have the heart and desire to win. Developing and built from Blizzard Tier C, they have taken each challenge and exceeded expectations. At a very young age, Bayern shows leadership and game sense coupled with speed and skill. It has been an absolute delight to be working with such a fine group of young ladies. Well done, Bayern!
While this recognition by BMO is highly appreciated, it should also be a challenge to Bayern to keep on practicing and pushing forward to become the next flagship to represent Blizzard wherever we play. Please keep on voting for our team – especially when we are in the final week in August.
Go Bayern!!

The Blizzard Whitecaps participated in a Christmas Hamper for a needy family in Greenwood Village
through a program at Rockpointe Church. Donations from the players were stuffed into a huge red bag

Ajax Volunteering
The Blizzard Ajax under 14 team volunteered with the Salvation Army between Christmas and New Year’s to help pack backpacks for children who may not have had gifts at Christmas. The girls feel very fortunate with their opportunity to play soccer and travel and wanted to volunteer to help those not so fortunate in our community.
Well done girls.

Napoli Show Holiday Spirit
With Christmas approaching, the girls from Blizzard Napoli’s U16 team wanted to organize something special. So after one of their games, they took a vote on what they wanted to do. As parents, we figured they would be organizing a Secret Santa gift exchange. However, when they emerged from the dressing room, they announced that they wanted to step outside of their world and put a smile on someone’s face who might not be where they wanted to be this Christmas. They had decided to donate gifts to children who had to spend Christmas at the Children’s Hospital. So, a couple of phone calls were made and on Dec. 21st, the team met at the hospital and dropped off their unwrapped gifts. They weren’t able to present them to the children, however they were assured that the gifts were most appreciated, as they were anticipating unprecedented numbers to be at the hospital this Christmas. While there, the team visited with a patient who was a schoolmate of one of our girls, who had been in hospital since September, receiving treatment. It was sobering, but made the girls feel empowered about their choice. We are so proud of our girls, for in their giving, they embodied the true meaning of Christmas.
