OVER 60 LEAGUE AT HOCKEYTOWN USA

August 1, 2019                                     

Dear Skaters,

  Congratulations to the Riverhawks ( East Div. Champs) and the Huskies ( West Div. Champs) for their success in winning their respective divisions in the 20^th season of the over 50 league. The East Division Final between the Riverhawks and Terriers was even for the first half of the game before the Riverhawks flexed their muscles and pulled away to a 6 – 1 final. Congrats to the 7^th place Terriers for a tremendous playoff run. The West Division Final was played between the 4^th place Crimson and the 7^th place Huskies. This was a nail biter right to the end when the Huskies got the empty net goal to secure their win 4 – 2. Congratulations to all that participated this past season.

   As you all know the goal of the league is to provide an even and competitive situation for all involved. To attain this goal it is imperative that the commissioner has the flexibility to make trades as needed to ensure parity throughout. Every effort will be made to give each and every team a chance to win every game that they play, but the co-operation of all skaters is essential and much appreciated.

  The plans for the 2019 – 2020 season are currently similar to the last couple of years. The season will ultimately be determined by the number and the ability of the players who sign up. All current players in the league who sign up by August 31, 2019 will be guaranteed a position and then new and former players will be added on a first come first serve basis. Opening day will be Tuesday, September 10, 2019. Please list on your application which division you would prefer to play in as well as any other personal requests and I will do my best to accommodate, keeping parity in mind.

  The Over 60 League will  back to it’s Sunday afternoon/ evening time slot and will begin September 15, 2019. The format will depend on the enrollment, but the current hope is for 6 teams playing between 4 pm and 7 pm. The league will be open to all skaters sixty or older and to players 57 or older who have never been classified as an “A” player in the over 50 league.

  Applications for all of the above programs are available upon request at Hockeytown’s main office or on line. Anyone that knows of an interested skater for any of the above programs should call or e-mail htusainc@aol.com.  the rink for applications. All applications can also be downloaded from Hockeytown’s website at www.hockeytownsaugus.com
