Our parents were talking about grilling tomorrow (Saturday) during tryouts. 

 

The Plan:

A) We are doing a BYOB/Meat/Side dish grill for the tryouts

B) Everyone brings their own stuff if they want to participate

C) We would put a "can" on the grill for propane reimbursement etc.

 

Nothing fancy, but it beats eating out.

 

Hopefully the weather will hold?

Just got word from Tim on this change to the Pre-tryout camp. The Pre-tryout camp will not start Wednesday as planned. Our Zamboni won’t be at the rink until later Wednesday night. We won’t be able to get the ice shaved until then. An ice session will be added Sunday. The camp will now start on Thursday. The schedule will be correct other than tonight and what we adjust for Sunday by adding additional ice. Thanks in advance for understanding! Also our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thanks,

Brian

In the past week an online petition has been making it's rounds to support and encourage the development of a Division 1 hockey program at CSU. If you are interested, here is a link to the webpage.

Mountain States Ice Arena is having their annual "Work Day" at the rink on Saturday, July 26 beginning at 10 am. For detailed information go to the "news" page at www.mountainstatesice.com. It's always makes for a fun day. The sand (that goes below the ice) has been leveled and the ice will be going in, so we are asking that no one goes on the playing surface.

 

July 17, 2008

Listed above in "Tryout Information" area are downloadable files (pdf format) regarding Tryouts, our Mite Program and the Pre-Tryout Clinic. We are excited about the coming season. Having won four state titles in the last two years, we look forward to more success this coming season. We are requiring that all players have their 2008-9 USA Hockey Registration completed prior to tryouts. This can be done by going to www.usahockeyregistration.com. Colorado residents, Squirts through Midgets pay $47 this season ($30 for USA Hockey and $17 to CAHA). Mite players (2000 birth year and younger) pay $30 this season (no CAHA fee is required). For players with birth years 2002 and younger, there is no USA Hockey fee or CAHA fee (USA Hockey online registration is still required). This is an easy procedure that can be done online. Once completed, please email the confirmation to brianmckinley@mountainstateshockey.com prior to tryouts.

 

July 16, 2008

Mountain States Youth Hockey is looking for additional Hockey Coaches to fill out our coaching staff. Please contact Hockey Director, Tim Knox at 970-217-7950 or timpuck@aim.com. Become part of the success, become part of the Renegades family!

Many of our Renegades players and some other players from the state have taken part in Tim Knox's Renegades Select Camp this June in Des Moines. Here is a gallery of photos from June 7-9. The camp runs the month of June and finishes up July 3-6 in Blaine, MN at the USA INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY CUP with several teams competing. The camp is being held at the Metro Ice Sports Facility in Urbandale, Iowa, a Des Moines area suburb. The rink is a beautiful 2 sheet facility with a very nice location. One sheet is removed in the summer and many off-ice drills take place there. Be sure to view the gallery.
