Week of November 18, 2018

24/11/2018

 
Good evening Blizzard families,

Thanks to all our volunteers and congratulations to all our Blizzard athletes on a great competition this weekend. We had many skaters achieve new personal bests (PBs) and three new skaters skate in their first ever races! I hope all the athletes and parents enjoyed the event, the competition is as much about the races as it is about socializing with the other athletes and parents.

Our competition would not be so successful without our dedicated volunteers. Big thanks to Meet Coordinator Keri McLeod for all the work leading up to the event, as well as on the big day, and to Meet Recorder Kari Rae, who tabulates and compiles race schedules and results all day. We also have "informal" volunteers like Elaina Hudyma who stepped in to be "Team Mom", watching over our kids and helping out the new parents - thanks Elaina!

We are now looking forward to our long track season. Exciting news - the Outdoor Ice Oval has started accumulating ice. Cross your fingers for subzero temperatures so the ice crew can get ice layed down quickly. The OIO ice crew can perform amazing feats as long as Mother Nature cooperates. Watch the Outdoor Ice Oval Facebook page and website for updates.

************************************************************************************************
1. NO SKATING THIS TUESDAY

A reminder that skating for all groups is cancelled this Tuesday evening, November 20th, because of the PG Minor Hockey Skate-a-thon.

2. FUNDRAISING

Fundraising Coordiantor, Catherine Hansen, would like to remind families that fundraising through the bottle depot or through SaveOn gift cards continues throughout the year. 

SaveOn gift cards can be purchase through the Customer Service counters at our local SaveOn foods. The staff member will record your purchase on the Blizzards page in their programs book, you will then need to send a picture or scan of your receipt to Catherine at pgblizzard.fundraising@gmai.com. SaveOn foods contributes 4% of your GC purchase towards our fundraising.

The process at the bottle depot is similar. Notify your cashier regarding your intention for the funds to go towards the PG Blizzard fundraising account. Ask for a second copy of the receipt and send a picture or scan your receipt and send it to pgblizzard.fundraising@gmail.com.

3. CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS
Please watch the PG Blizzard Facebook page and website calendar for information regarding skating over the holidays. Short track practices will break between Sunday, December 23rd and Thursday January 3rd, 2019. 

If ice is in good condition at the Outdoor Ice Oval long track practices may continue over the holidays.

4. SANTA SKATE

The PG Blizzard Santa Skate is scheduled for Tuesday, December 11th. Stay tuned for more information.

Thank you, have a great week.
