1) REGISTRATION – There is a little over a week until Registration for the Fall/Winter 2010/2011 Season closes. Registration is done through our website (www.geezerhockey.com) and a deposit in the amount of $50 is due by August 22nd. Payment can either be made online through PayPal via the web registration process or by dropping a check in the GHL box outside the West Rink at the Steel Ice Center. Please remember if you are planning on paying by check or you have already paid by check, you still need to go to the web site to register. Please let me know if you are having problems with registering via the website and we can work on resolving the problem or provide you with an alternate method to register. If you didn’t include your current USA Hockey Number with your registration please email a copy of it to the GHL Registrar, Chris Sorenson at finnchristian@msn.com.

2) EVALUATIONS - GHL skater evaluations will be held on Sunday evening, August 22nd (time to be finalized). If you are new to the league you will be required to attend an evaluation skate.

3) COST - The cost for the Fall/Winter season will be between $459 and $469 (final cost will be determined by middle of next week). The season will include 18 regular season games and at least one playoff game (19th game) for all teams. Winning teams during the first round of playoffs will also get a second round playoff game (20th game).

4) NUMBER OF DIVISIONS - We are still waiting for registration to close to determine if we will move forward with a third division this season. After registration closes, but before a final payment is due we will determine the number of divisions and where the lines between the divisions will be drawn.

5) SKATING CLINICS - On Sunday nights through the end of August we will continue to hold our T2 Hockey Clinics. These clinics are for beginner/intermediate skaters and cost $20 per session. If you are interested in signing up please email Todd Miller at catdaddy@ptd.net.

6) FATHERS OF TIME TOO - If you are a interested in skating in the Fathers of Time TOO Tournament (September 10th and 11th), please let me know we may still have room for a limited number of skaters. If you haven’t played in the GHL and are interested please let me know your hockey experience.

This Sunday's games determine seedings in the Quest for the Cup. In T1, Belgium could vault into the second spot, over both USA and Sweden, with a win over Sweden. In T2, Silver Bullets and Beige Rage are 'on the bubble', and will square off at 9:30p to determine who will make it into the Winner's bracket.

The 2010 Fathers of Time Charity Tournament continues in earnest, with an eight-game schedule tonight (start times run from 5:00 pm - 9:00 pm) and a full slate of hockey tomorrow, running from 7:30am to 9:30pm, followed by CHAMPIONSHIP SUNDAY!

The FOT Charity Tournament is raising money for 3 local people. Two are young children with Juvenile Diabetes. The third recipient is a teenager with Cerebral Palsy as a result of a childhood vaccination. She needs a new wheelchair, having outgrown her current one. Her father has lost his job, a new chair is $5,000, and (if you can believe it) their insurance company will only pay for the 'outside' of the chair!! They will not pay for the seat or the back! This poor girl is 16 years old, would like to be independent, and cannot.

These folks will appreciate anything we can do for them, so PLEASE come out and give them your support!

The 2010 Fathers of Time Charity Tournament continues tonight with two games scheduled:
