U15 BB/B – RED Update Ep 1
Read on to learn more about the composition of our team, our first social, and a chance to meet the coaches and team chat.

Good afternoon Ranger Families!


Welcome to your first newsletter for the U15 BB/B Red team.  We use this as a means to connect with parents and share information about upcoming schedule additions, events, and other news worthy topics. 

 

U15 BB/B RED PLAYERS

First off, congratulations to the 17 athletes who were selected for the U15 BB/B Red team for the ‘25/’26 season.  The players were chosen to put together the best ‘team’ oriented squad we could possibly assemble.  There may have been better individually skilled players, but we chose based on hard work, determination and the team game each player showcased.  In our years of experience, these traits are what make for a great experience both on and off the ice.

 

 

SATURDAY PRACTICE CANCELLED

Happy Mother’s Day!   It’s been a hectic (and stressful) two weeks for players, parents and coaches.  As much as it would be cool to jump back on the ice, families are terribly busy this time of year.  Please enjoy the time back and enjoy a peaceful Mother’s Day weekend. 

 

 

COACHES

We had a chance to quickly introduce ourselves at the huddle before the last tryout.  Here’s your coaching squad for next season:

 

Head Coach

David Frazer

Asst Coach

Derek Wolfe

Trainer

TBD

Manager

PLAYER/PARENT SOCIAL

We have organized a quick player/parent social.  We thought it was a great way for the players to get connected before the summer break.  We have chosen Saturday June 7, from 3pm-5pm at Peak Fitness in St Agatha.   We’ll organize some ice breakers for the players, a game of volleyball followed by a pot luck to socialize a bit.  We’ll get a potluck sign-up into the team chat to make sure we have some snacks.

 

We’ll also try and get the sizing jerseys to select our numbers and jersey sizes for next year.  So bring your shoulder pads / elbow pads if you want an accurate fit.

 

 

TELEGRAM

We’ve set up a team Telegram chat group for coaches to send time sensitive messages and for parents to stay connected.  Please reach out if you have not been added, or wish to add more family members to the group. 

 

That’s it for now.  See you in a few weeks.  It is 118 days until the start of the regular season.  Not that I’m counting or anything…
