Entering into the 15 Season Club are: Alan Curtis, Jimmy Girgus, Jordan Green, and Justin Todtenkopf. And entering our 10 Season Club are: Daniel Buccino, Ben Giangrasso, Chris Liebau, Mathew Piro, Griffin Rocco, Michael Stalenyj, Kevin Still, and Luke Tunison. We also want to recognize 2 players that we accidentally overlooked the last couple of seasons when they achieved 10 Season status (sorry guys!!). They are: Gavin Costello (who is now playing in his 12th season) and Tommy McNulty, who is in his 11th season. All of these players will be presented with their Certificates in the next couple of weeks and we genuinely wish to thank them and all the other kids in the 10 and 15 Season Clubs and their families for supporting the Green Brook Hockey Club for so many seasons!!

2) Pre-registration for our Spring 2012 season will begin very shortly, so please look for further info on that. Signup will begin this coming weekend, with pre-registration signup sheets available at the rink. Of course, we will also have a pre-registration table during the playoffs as well, as we did last season.

3) As we mentioned a few days ago, our Fall 2011 Playoffs will be the weekend of November 19-20th. Please note that any rain makeups will be played the weekend of Dec. 3-4. The full schedule is posted on the website, which is at www.greenbrookhockeyclub.com .

4) Well, 3 artists were discovered when we selected our Drawing Contest winners at our board meeting last week. The winners of the Fall 2011 drawing Contest are: Ryan Boettcher (U13 Falcons), Brian Scopel (U8 Sharks), and Andrew Scopel (U8 Sharks). These future Picassos submitted their drawings of famous hockey players, and these drawings are on display on our website at www.greenbrookhockeyclcub.com and will also be on display in the GBHC Art Gallery (also known as the display case) at the rink. These winners are now entitled to a $15 food credit at the snack shack. Thanks to our hockey artists for their masterpieces!!

5) Anyone that has not fulfilled their work bond and wishes to volunteer for the snack shack for the playoffs, please let me or Snack Shack Supervisor Debbie Hansell know as soon as possible to find out about any available time slots.

Also, a very important message to pass along regarding our parking privileges in the back of the school:

1.The speed limit in the parking lot is 15 mph. 

2. No parking on the basketball courts (or on the sides of the parking lot close to the school shed).

3. There is no parking on the grass of the school property.

4. No cars are allowed behind the school before 6:00 pm! If you need to drop your child off for an early practice or need to get to the rink, you must park your car on the side of the school and walk to the rink.

We must follow the above guidelines that the school set up with the league a number of years ago. If we don’t follow these simple guidelines, we could very well lose our parking privileges.
