Spring League
Fri Jan 22, 2010

THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME CONFUSION REGARDING SPRING LEAGUE....

 

The Eddie Edgar Arena hosts a spring league called the Eddie Edgar Challenge Spring League.  This league is not affiliated with the Livonia Hockey Assocation.  There is no individual registration.  Coaches ask kids to play on their team.  Coaches may be former coaches, dads, moms, etc.  The coach will enter an entire team in the league.  If a player has not been asked to play but  wishes to play, he/she may post thier name on a list which is located on the bulletin board at Eddie Edgar Arena.  Coaches frequently check these list to pick up players to complete thier team.  Each team is given one practice with entry in to the league.  This practice will be scheduled sometime between March 27th - April 2nd.  Games will begin on or after April 11.  (No games will be played during Easter break.)  The league will end before Memorial Day.

Once again, this league is not at all affiliated with the Livonia Hockey Association.  And as such, the L.H.A. Board of Directors do not govern it.  If a player does not participate in the spring league this will not affect their ability to mail in register for the Fall 2010- 2011 season.  All players who participated in the Livonia Hockey Association for the 2009 - 2010 Fall season, who are members in good standing,  will be afforded the right to mail in register.  (Members in good standing are current with all financial responsibilities.)  Mail in registration occurs in March - May. 

Any questions - please contact Lori Yarnell (ljyarnell@livoniahockey.org).

Gordon Butler Memorial Mite Christmas Tournament
Tue Dec 29, 2009
The Grinch, presided over a great Gordon Butler Memorial Mite Christmas Tournament over this holiday weekend.  With several exciting, breathtaking games, the seven Livonia Hockey Association Mite teams battled it out in games that started the Wednesday before Christmas and throughout the weekend following Santa’s visit.  After very competitive round robin games which featured several late 3rd period winning goals, four teams advanced to the Semifinals.  During a much anticipated Sunday night of hockey the Blackhawks faced the Predators in one semifinal game, while the Knights faced the Kings in another.  These games didn’t disappoint with hard fought battles down to the wire where the Knights and the Blackhawks survived to advance to the Finals.  Monday night’s Championship hockey was another nail biter with the game scoreless into the 3rd period.  With the Grinch looking on from the scorer’s box each team popped one in and the game ended in a 1-1 tie.  Through six minutes of sudden death overtime and many oohs and aahs, the winner was still not determined.  Five shooters from each team lined up for the overtime shootout, and it came down to the last shooter as the Blackhawks prevailed to take home the Gordon Butler Memorial trophy!
Mondays Championship game was preceded by a tournament shootout.  Six players from each team battled it out over several rounds, and through the Grinch’s meddling at center ice.  After the dust settled the Predators won the shootout.   
Congratulations to all the Mite players.  The Grinch tried his best to ruin everyone’s fun, but your love of the game and determination made it a happy and wonderful holiday full of hockey and laughs.  I believe the Grinch’s heart grew 3 sizes because of all of you!
