Thursday update - Assignments and Releases
Super set of games on Wednesday folks!  Couldn't ask for more as it was clear the player's "compete" level has ramped up!  It should be quite evident to all that the 2011 group is a gifted bunch.  While we would like to take every player, and having an unprecedented 3rd BB team opens some doors for us, we unfortunately cannot accommodate all 80 players who attended this year's tryouts at the rep level. We sincerely wish those who are released the best of luck in their hockey endeavors. The coaching group has assignments listed for ALL PLAYERS as we move into Thursday.  PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!

1. The following players WILL PLAY THURSDAY FOR BB RED at 8pm @ Activa for a Red v Red intersquad game. Players are expected at the rink 45min prior to puck drop for warm up.  Game-day dress code is in effect; avoid shorts, sweatpants and tank tops for arrival attire. Playing #'s are 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 111, 112, 113, 116, 118, 119, 204, 205, 212, 213, 215, 217, 218, 219, 303, 305, 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 401, 402, 403, 404, 406, 408, 416.
