Closing Out Winter & Preparing for Spring  

• As the season comes to an end, winter teams will meet on March 3 for team meetings, locker room and gear clean-out, etc.

• Spring afternoon activities will meet on March 4, with meetings for all lower teams and activities and tryouts for 1st teams.

• Tryouts for 1st teams, and auditions for the play, will take place March 4 through March 6.

• Locker rooms will be cleaned during Spring Break, so all gear and belongings should be packed and stored appropriately. (Hockey bags should be packed and labeled in the lobby of the rink on March 3 because we will do a thorough cleaning of the rink during the break).
