I got a chance to watch the Rugby Junior Gold team play the Fargo Flyers a couple of weeks ago and I was very impressed with the way they performed. The intentsity was great and it looks like the JG team will be a presence in the next couple of years at this level. If the Flyers are the cream of the JG in ND then Rugby has a chance for a great finish at the state level.

Anyone looking for information about the Rugby PeeWee Tournament can go to the PeeWee Tournament page on the web site to find links to a welcome letter,tournament rules, and a page for the brackets.

There is an adult mens hockey tournament coming up Feb 15-17 in Drayton ND. Limit to 8 teams (10 skaters and 1 goal per team). Cost is $100/team. There are hotels and about 5 places to eat right in Drayton. If you would like more info please call Jason @ 701-610-1884 anytime.

Walsh county is the cream of the crop in JG.

Oldtimer hockey has recently seen a huge reduction in numbers, so to help make it easier for people to attend we are trying to change the time that we skate. We are looking at 5pm till 7pm on Sunday evenings. Hopefully this will be a more attractive time frame for those who have to work early on Monday mornings. For a look at the new schedule please go to the rugbyicehawks.net/oldtimers/schedule page on our web site. Hope to get you guys off the couch and into your skates!!!! See you on the ice!

Congratulations to the Jr. Gold team, coaches and parents at the State Tourney you did a great job! The season is over, go thru withdrawals for weeks and then you will think about rink work and next season!HaHa
Congrats to the PeeWees and Squirts also. I try to keep track as best I can. Once an Icehawk always an IceHawk! GREAT JOB!

Just wondering if Coach McClintock can put some stats and info about the Jr Gold tourney and the Ice Hawks. Thanks

Our game scores from the state tourney as follows:
 
2/29 @ 11 am Rugby 5 Langdon 6 OT
3/1 @ 10:30 am Rugby 8 Fargo Flames 0

2008 Mike Thorson Alumni Tournament: Dec 26-28th

Friday Night - Alumni vs. Jr Gold
Sat, Sun - Alumni Tournament

Information about the tournament will be sent out shortly as we are soon approaching the hockey season. I hope that those that were not able to attend last year are able to this coming year. If you were here last year and would like to email me as if you will make it or not, that would be awesome and save me and you sending letters.

My email is kal.w.triplett@sendit.nodak.edu or triplett_19@hotmail.com

I am anxiously awaiting this years tourney as last year was a huge success.

Schedules are not in stone as of yet. We will be tweeking the number of games played down a bit so we arent too dead. All of that information will become available to you when finished.

Thank you, any questions or concerns, please contact me.

I just rec'd an email from Betty T. I am just sick about the damage to the arena. If you need alumni help we can get it for you, So rebuilding can get done sooner. This how is goes when you finally have the building paid for or almost then something falls apart and in this case falls in. I am so sorry for the skaters and the Board and the workers. Jay let me know if I can do anything to help.

Last chance for Alumni Tournament!!! Deadline is this Friday, December 12th. I have received a low number of participants so far, so I would like to get a good count on who will be playing. It looks like the numbers will be down from last year, which is understandable, but we will still have a weekend full of hockey. So spread the word around and get back to me at 701-208-0659 or kal.w.triplett@sendit.nodak.edu

Thanks
