And finally some last minute reminders:
- At the forefront of our Association is sportsmanship and respect. Play hard, but be respectful. I want everyone to remember that this is a recreational league where most players are here to have a source of exercise, socialize, and have fun. Please keep that in mind at all times. I expect that all players and coaches in the handshake lines will act cordially and leave the competition on the floor at the end of the game.
- No food or drink (other than water) is allowed in the gym areas. Please help us keep the facilities clean and safe and eat/drink outside in the foyer at all locations. Dispose of any garbage in the designated bins.
- A reminder that Daylight Savings begins on March 9th 2025. Please make sure to adjust your clocks accordingly, and arrive at the game at the proper time.
Phew, that was a lot, so thank you for bearing with that email, but a lot of things going on, and a lot of things to inform you of! Have a great weekend of Cosom Hockey and Events, and see you real soon!
