Eunice Kim, Ice Allocator and Game Schedulers – Thank you for taking on this very demanding role. Robin Perelle, Communication – Thank you for making the time while you were travelling through Europe to help me with some of the communication pieces. I greatly appreciate having another set of eyes with writing. Tricia Auton, Multi-tasker - I would be remiss if I did not give a shout out to this phenomenal person. Not only is Tricia a board member, she coaches her daughter’s ringette team, she coaches our FUN 1 and 2 players, but she’s also a great resource when it comes to registration questions and legal matters. Thank you for always lending a hand. Rabinder Sandhu, Scheduling – So where do I begin? She’s not only on our board Secretary, she’s the team manager for her daughter’s team, and she also worked alongside Eunice to coordinate the game schedule. I can’t tell you how many text messages and phone calls I’ve made to this beautiful person, but she would always make time to help out. Thank you for all you do… you’re simply amazing. And finally, to all the teams that participated in our tournament, we couldn’t have held the event without you. Hope everyone had a great time and see you all next year!
