Hockey Camp Scholarship For a GirlAll: David Braunstein - email Nitrosdawn@aol.com The Amerks are holding a fundraiser for breast cancer on March 27th. For each ticket purchased with the code at the bottom of the attached flyer (SFTC), the Amerks will donate $5 to the Skating for the Cure fundraiser. Also, there will be a women’s game prior to the Amerks game, possibly one of the Women’s Nationals games. The ice will be tinted pink, and the Amerks will be wearing pink jerseys, the jerseys will be auctioned off after the game, proceeds to be divided between Skating for the Cure, the American Cancer Society and another breast cancer coalition. Players and staff will be dying their hair pink for the game as well. It’s a great chance to come out and see some good hockey, and support the SFTC cause too! And the following day, the Rochester Knighthawks are doing a similar fundraiser. Click Here For Flyer
As the rink parking lot filled up with cars from New York and Pennsylvania, the sound of chatter and excitement filled the air. It was a crisp morning on December 6, 2008, that became the beginning of a soon-to-be tradition, the “1st Annual Hockey Holiday Girls Happening.” The U10 and U12 Learn to Play teams toted their gear into the rink where many would be playing their first game ever. The first puck was dropped as the Indiana Lady Chiefs faced off against the Hamburg Lady Hawks. The stands were overflowing with fans, who came to cheer on all those who hit the ice. As the day progressed, the Erie Little Lady Lions faced off with the Amherst Little Lady Knights, Indiana raced for the puck against Fredonia and friendships were made as the U10 participants learned that the main reason for playing is fun. With a break in the day’s competition, the girls were invited to watch a contest between the Erie Lady Lions U16 team and the West Seneca Wings. With wide eyes, the girls watched as they renewed their dreams of playing with the “big girls” some day. The first day concluded with a pizza party where the girls all met to chatter about the day’s events. Sunday saw the final of the three-game
gathering and, before the day ended, the smiles shined as brightly
as the medals that all participants received. As the rink lights
dimmed and the parking lot emptied, everyone knew the anticipation
of the March Girls Hockey Happening would be in their minds until
they all met again in Hamburg, N.Y., in four months to renew
their new-found friendships and love of the game. Click
