GFHL 2013 Year end update and 2014 Game Schedule!!!!!

All, As 2013 comes to a close and we reflect on what we have accomplished through out the last 10 months and realize that we had way to much turkey or ham, way to many deserts, and not enough hockey! LOL
Well the time has come to knock off several weeks of dust, get the sticks ready and play some puck,
here is the 2014 game schedule, 5 team format, 12 games, play each other 3 times, and with playoffs in week 11.

The first official stick time/practice will be 1/3/14 @ 530pm. Registration is still open so there is time to get your players signed up before the first week!!!

Have a Happy and prosperous New Year, see you on Friday 1/3/14!!!

Mid December Update!

Hi All, just a mid-December reminder that registration is still open for the GFHL! Let's get your players/teams signed up. We will be dropping the puck for the 2014 season on 1/5/14!

There is a pickup scheduling change for Friday 12/20/13. Due to (maintanence) ceiling tile replacement in the gym from 12/17- 12/23, there will be NO pickup on 12/20. We will resume Friday night stick time on Friday 1/3/14.

Early December Update!

All,

GFHL registration is still open!!!!!!  The Dec 1^st registration date has passed, all this means is that you cannot participate in Decembers Fridays and Sundays pickups and of course any league play until you are registered/paid  through Groton Parks and Rec.

For those that have registered already, thank you. For those that still need to, get your registration forms in ASAP. We have 5 more stick time sessions till the holiday break.

Fri 12/6, Sun 12/8, Fri 12/13, Sun 12/15, Fri 12/20

Any questions, let me know.

See you on Friday!

George

Team Captains please let me know what you and/or your teams plans are for the 2014 season so I can start looking at league schedules and get them posted. The season will start on January 5th, 2014.

 

Thank you and I am looking forward to this hockey season,

If you have any questions feel free to contact me,

Congratulation to the GFHL 2013 Champions: Royal Blue

Congratulations to Royal Blue the 2013 GFHL Chapmions! 

      I would like to thank everybody for making my inaugural season as league commissioner one that I will not soon forget, from you the players keeping the sticks down,  playing clean, and showing good sportsmanship, to Mike, Chris,and Kirk for stepping in to assist Ray in refereeing, and to Karl and Danny for keeping the time and stats well organized. Thank you!

During the next couple of months as we shift to outdoor pickup,  please keep a couple of things in mind for next season; we would like to grow the league from 4 teams to 6 teams, so if you know anybody who is or might be interested in joining, please give them the league and my contact information. Also please keep an ear out for upcoming referee clinics, we would like to create a pool of qualified/certified referees to work in our league and possibly the roller league (ECRHL) too. It's a great way to earn a little extra cash, be part of league growth, and see the game from a different perspective.

Again, thank you, and I look forward to seeing you next season, now lets go play some pickup,lol.

George
