2005 KNIGHTS OF WEST KELOWNA SPRING HOCKEY CLUB 2014 SPRING SEASON INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION PACKAGE Dear Parents, The Knights of West Kelowna Spring Hockey program for children born in 2005 is comprised of West Kelowna and area players demonstrating an advanced skill level amongst their peers. The overall focus of the program will be to develop the on-ice skill levels of each player at an accelerated pace and to foster an environment where parents and families can share an enjoyable hockey experience with their children and other families within their community. This year’s team will be selected through a series of evaluation sessions being held over the Christmas Break: Thursday, January 2: Royal Lepage Place 3:15pm–4:45pm Friday, January 3: Summerland Arena 2:15pm–3:45pm Saturday, January 4: Summerland Arena 7:00pm-8:15pm The cost to register for these sessions will be $50 and will include a practice jersey. Independent evaluators will also be utilized. To register, please complete the registration and waiver forms attached below and email them to nolfert@shaw.ca prior to December 1 so that the jerseys can be ordered on time. Cheques are to be made payable to the “2005 Knights of West Kelowna” and can be given to either Nate Olfert or Aimee Ward at any time prior to the first session. Once the team is selected, regular practices will be scheduled. The team intends to play against similar teams from the BC Interior and also participate in tournaments in Chilliwack, Vancouver, and Kelowna. We also plan to host the 2nd Annual Round Table Challenge April 11-13 in West Kelowna. As a group, we pride ourselves in doing everything possible to keep the cost of spring hockey reasonable. Over the years the team has undertaken a number of fundraising and sponsorship initiatives which, last season, resulted in a full reimbursement of team fees to each family! This season, we anticipate that team fees will be approximately $500 and we will again effort to reimburse as much of this cost as possible through various fundraising efforts and events. Thank you for your interest in our program. Please feel free to visit our website at www.knightsofwestkelowna.com for more information.
