Hi all,

Everyone’s apparel will be completed and ready to be picked up on the 18^th. I will be meeting with the managers at the rink that evening as we have a board meeting and a coach’s clinic.   Please arrange personal pick up times with your team manager for your individual items. Each player, mom/dad/grandparents items will all be bagged and tagged accordingly together for easy distribution.

Thanks and talk soon,

Brett

The Inch Park Arena is open this afternoon and all programs will be running.

Please use caution and your own judgement in regards to driving to the arena.

Thanks

Hi all,

Last evening at the board meeting the HRA has chosen the color Black to be used for all outer wear items (Winter jackets and warm up suits) to keep all the HRA teams standardized looking.  All additional items (hoodies, dri-fit shirts, toques etc.) can be purchased in the multiple colours as always.

All the managers are aware of this and have your teams order forms. Please adjust any orders with them this week.

Thanks,

Brett

Team wear Update:

Please note the following details to answer a few questions that have come up over the past few days:

1.       All current order forms will be in the hands of the coaches/managers by Monday of this week. They will also be given additional order forms. Pricing sheets will also be with them. Any changes required can be done with them. These changes and additions need to completed and back in my hands by the end of the day on November 10^th. Order is being placed on November 11^th.

2.       Managers will be collecting all the money from players and parents for all team-wear orders. Cash and cheques are accepted. Cheques are to be made out to the HRA. Payments are to be made by the end of November please.

3.       I will forward managers a spreadsheet for each team which includes all players & parents items with total amounts owed to make the payment collections easier.

4.       It’s been brought to my attention that colours for apparel items is a larger issue than I anticipated. Please note the below details or updates on colours for each item and please make any order changes required:

Ø  Warm Up Suits – Black or Navy

Ø  Hoodies (Cotton or Dri-Fit) – Red, Black, Navy, Grey

Ø  Cotton T’s - Red, Black, Navy, Grey, Royal Blue

Ø  Dri-Fit (long sleeve/short sleeve) -- Red, Black, Navy

Ø  Toques – Red, Black, Navy

Ø  Hats (snap back & fullback) – Red, Black, Navy

Ø  Winter CX2 Jackets – Black or Navy

All the HRA team-wear will be available online soon to make the item selections and purchases easier for everyone. I will inform everyone when this is launched.

HRA Spirit Wear/Apparel Fitting Days

Hi all,

We’re hosting spirit wear/apparel fitting days for the  Hamilton Ringette Association this weekend for all teams. This will be for items such as Dri-Fit shirts, hoodies, winter jackets, hats, practice jerseys, toques etc. Please see below the times associated for each division and teams. These times will coincide with week-end games and practices scheduled. I will have Youth and Adult sizes for all items to try on. It will be hosted in the party room at Inch Park to allow for a larger venue and washrooms for fittings. Each player will get an order form to fill out for their child’s selections as well as any adults/parents choosing to purchase items. All parents will be responsible to initial all selections, sizes, costs for confirmation things are correct before the form is handed in.

Saturday 26^th

U10 Robinson – 3:30pm to 4:30pm

U12 Wright – 4:30pm to 5:30pm

U12 Parker – 5:30pm to 6:30pm

Sunday 27^th

LTS/U8 – 3pm to 4pm

U12 Wright – 4 to 5 pm

U14 Sim 5pm to 6 pm

U16 Vriends 6 pm to 7pm

Of course if you can’t make it at your teams designated time slot or your team is not at Inch this weekend you can of course complete your fitting within the above time schedule at any point. That being said if we can keep the teams somewhat together it will go a long way to maintain structure.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me petite@hamiltonringette.ca 

Thanks Brett Rivers
