We need your help
This season, we are implementing a volunteer initiative to ensure that our program runs smoothly and efficiently. We kindly request that each parent volunteers their time for at least two sessions or events during the season. Whether it's helping with coaching, assisting in organizing events, providing first aid, or any other skill you possess, your involvement will make a significant impact on the success of our program. Please review the available slots in our SignUp Genius form and click on the times most convenient to you. Thank you!
A FEW REMINDERS:
Players should arrive at the outdoor 440 Pavilion behind the Classic Center in downtown Athens [MAP] at least 30 minutes before their scheduled ice time in order to have plenty of time to get ready. Ample parking is available. There is street-level parking on Dougherty Street or in the Classic Center parking deck. Do not park in front of the businesses on Foundry Street. Those spaces are reserved for their customers.
**Parents must stay at the rink with kids under 10.
SKATE SHARPENER
We will have a skate sharpener at the rink on Monday throughout practice and on Saturday until 9:30 AM. It's $10 cash, check or Zelle.
HELPFUL TIPS FROM PARENTS
Bring a towel & a plastic bag to wipe off your skates after practice. And a plastic bag to separate wet from dry. MAKE SURE TO AIR OUT YOUR EQUIPMENT AFTER EACH PRACTICE.

Equipment info
Jersey Orders
Jersey/sock orders submitted at the beginning of the season will be arriving soon. Those ordered in early December will be arriving in mid-January. You will be invoiced at a later date.
Neck Guards & Helmets
We have a few helmets and several neckguards still available for sale. Neck guards are a required piece of safety equipment that every player must wear.
Hocket Shin Guard Tape
Advice to new players: Hockey shin pad tape is very helpful for making sure that shin guards stay securely in place during play. The straps alone are often not enough to keep the pads from shifting around and then not being in the right place to protect your knees when you fall. You can find tape on Amazon if you search “hockey shin pad tape”. The link below shows some different ways to tape you pads.
