We are finally hitting our stride with all teams finalized and we are well on our way to a fun season. While we have had at least one obstacles thrown our way this season so far with Sunset going down, it has been a full effort by the TBird family along with our extended hockey family to simply deal with it and find solutions to keep our programs on the ice.
We have also had a chance to bring in some new programs along the way with some solid help from within the TBirds including a Career Mentorship event and a Players Giving Back program with midget players getting out on the ice with the younger divisions. As we expand how we can support our players on and off the ice, if anyone has an idea for a project they would like to see us include, please reach out to Tanya.
Two TBird tournaments are already behind us this season with our Thanksgiving Peewee A4 event and the inaugural Atom C Remeberance Day tournament - both of which received great feedback from our visiting teams. Kudos to the host teams and the tournament organizers! Atom A1 is a month away from their tournament and our Below Atom teams are already getting organized for the Family Day tournament and are almost sold out already for the event.
Fundraising has also kicked off with some new endeavors this year to help spread things around a bit and hopefully allow us to inject a lot more fun into them all, but in particular the night out at Thunderball - so mark your calendars for February 2nd and be ready to raise the roof!

Sunset Rink Update
Simply put - it's back! Let the good times roll! Our Atom C6 offiically re-opened the arena on Dec 5th ending the 72 day closure (but who was counting?!).
Fundraising Update
Our Purdy's fundraiser was an absolute success - so much so that we had to have them re-open it for a few more days! We will post the final tally and the overall winner next week. Athletix will wrap up on December 20th. FlipGive is off to a great start with 13 teams already over the $100 threshold.
