Groton Dek Hockey - (GFHL) 2014-15 Season

Greetings and felicitations,
It’s that time of the year again, time to dust off the sneakers, time to make sure your twig is straight,  this is the first call for the Groton Floor Hockey Winter League!
Let me re-introduce myself, I am George White and I will be your league commissioner for the GFHL. I am the also the captain of the Orange team the Shack.
As most of you know, we usually transition indoors in November and this year is the same. We are looking at Sunday Nov 9th at 530pm as being our first night indoors. The month of November’s pre-season practices will be FREE. A full pre-season practice schedule will be sent out and posted on the unofficial website as it is worked out, and the link to register for the league too, once it is updated in the Discovery magazine. 
For the returning teams, I have the following;

Team – Capt.

Marshall Law – Nick DeDominicis (Gray) (The 2014 GFHL Champs)

Shack (Waiting on name suggestions) – George White (Orange)

Royal Blue II – Kirk Kellogg (Blue)

Bulldogs – Mike Smith (Black)

The Donnybrooks – Kyle Stone (Green)

Dek Heads – Paul Passes (Red) (This is an off chute of Royal Blue)

On a side note, the league is looking for people to Referee. It is a great way to see the game from a different perspective, and to make a little extra money! Perspective referees will have to go through the ECRHL referee clinic and be AAU certified, please contact me if you are interested.

All you need to do to participate in the FREE November pre-season practice sessions is be 15 years or older and sign the liability waiver that will be available at every session. (If you are younger than 18 you must have parent or legal guardian sign waiver.)

***All pre-season practice sessions are run as pick-up games.***

I recommend Hockey Gloves, athletic cup, eye protection, soccer shin pads and a hockey stick with a strip of white tape on bottom of blade.

For the winter league:
Team Captains please let me know what you and/or your teams plans are for the 2015 season so I can start looking at league schedules, and please get your players registered ASAP!   No registration - No playing, I will be getting updated lists weekly from parks and rec.


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