Team Norum: End of Season Party
|
|
|
Hello Team Norum!
Just a reminder, this Saturday, April 1st, is our End of Season Party.
Part 1: 6-7pm Axe Throwing @ Alaska Axe Co. To maximize our one hour reservation, complete your waiver online (akaxeco.com) for each participant and arrive early as they will need to verify all waivers.
Part 2: 7-9pm HCF Team/Family potluck and games, etc at the HCF Clubhouse.
Potluck: Please go to What's App and reply as to what type of dish you will be bringing so we don't all bring desserts. If you need to drop off your HOT potluck item at the clubhouse on your way to the axe throwing (so it can stay warm in the oven), please text me at 907-347-5465.
See you Saturday!

PRESIDENTS Day Invitational (PDI): 14UB Team Norum
|
|
|
Hi TEAM parents!
In February, Team Norum will be participating in the President's Day Invitational Tournament. I’m hoping you saw the email we sent on December 4 with some details for ALL upcoming tournaments, including Fairbanks Fest, Presidents Day and the State tournament. In case you didnt see it, this email will primarily be about the PDI tournament in February (and also save the date for State). This information will also be posted on our Team News Bulletin on the HCF website.
After talking with many of you, it sounds like most players are able to attend this tournament, but it would be helpful if you could let me know if your player will be attending the PDI tournament. I will send out a RSVP Poll in WhatsAPP. Please NOTE the deadline to take advantage of the special hotel rate before the deadline.
PRESIDENT'S DAY INVITATIONAL (PDI)
Date: February 10-12
Location: Anchorage
Deadline to book : January 18. After that date, reserved rooms will be released back into inventory.
We have a special rate of $139 plus tax at the Springhill Suites Midtown. It’s a great location, includes breakfast and there’s a pool too. It’s fun if the team can stay at the same hotel, if at all possible and for all sorts of good reasons, but you are welcome to make accommodations elsewhere.
We’ll be primarily be using WhatsApp to communicate while in Anchorage, so now would be a good time to start using it if you haven’t been already. If you need me to send you another invitation to the what’sApp team chat, please let me know.
All four 14UB teams are attending PDI. All teams will have their own goalie. Ours is Elliot Malloy 12UA -THANKS ELLIOT !!
We are hoping to do one team activity and/or a team dinner.
SAVE the DATE
STATE TOURNAMENT - Participating 14UB Team is determined by playoff games. Save the date in case our team ends up going.
Date: March 17-20
Location: MatSu Valley (Wasilla/Palmer area)
Hotel: To be determined

FairbanksFest Tournament Schedule and Game Duties

FairbanksFest Tournament - January 13-16.
We are anticipating this tournament to be really fun and a great learning experience for players. Parents, you are welcome to bring team snacks and/or drinks for after any games (maybe send out a note in WhatsApp). Charlie will be doing the after game spotlight so keep a lookout for where he will be following each game.
Please let me know if your player will NOT be at specific games so Coach Norum can plan accordingly.
Below is a link to the game schedule and game duties. Look over the schedule to see where you have been assigned. If you cannot fullfill your game duty, it is important since this is a tournament, that you find a qualified replacement (please keep me informed).
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lftYvWgJrCUsbxfpzDJ9g0X_Fe49oId6hesmeRr8QPo/edit?usp=sharing
NOTE: We also have team concessions on Saturday evening after our tournament. It was the only available open slot to earn more funds for February's Presidents Day Invitational Tournament. Any activity like this can be really fun when you bring your smiles and a great attitude :-). More details to come and concession assignments in a separate email.

Hello Team Norum!
Please note that a game was added to our schedule: this Saturday, Nov 5 @UAF -- 7pm.
Parent Game Duties: Are now assigned early in the month and will be reflected in the team event calendar. If you are not able to fulfill your scheduled duty, please find a replacement and let me know who will be taking your place. I will post some game duty resources in the Whatsapp for help with clock and scoresheet game duties so you can review them as needed prior to your duty. This does help you feel more prepared for your duty. Of course, if you need more help, please let me know.
After Game PRESS Conference: After most games, there will be a "press conference" where Coach Norum will spotlight a player and make note of game highlights. We will be attempting to use a bluetooth speaker so parents are more apt to hear what's being said, however, some rinks have too much interference and it will be hard to hear so formulating a small crowd might be a good idea and would also help set the "press conference" atmosphere. Charlie Leonelli will be facilitating this after game activity, so please gravitate to his location for the most optimal listening spot. Please bear with us as we work out some kinks while we help make the press conference fun and memorable.
Happy Friday!
Valerie

Team Norum Activities & Hoodies
|
|
|
Hey Team Norum !
If you have any suggestions for a group activity or volunteer opportunities that the team could participate in, please share them with me (Valerie). It could be volunteering at the food bank, shoveling snow for someone in need, a nerf war (maybe against a rival), kick ball (snow kick ball), movie night, roasting marshmallows over a fire pit, learning a new skill, etc. We have a whole team of young sponges eager to learn from mentors, gain life experiences and develop good character that will help them succeed in their future. Win!-Win!
Also, to follow up with Brian’s email regarding recruitment for the Hoodie Sponsor Fundraiser. It has multiple purposes in that it helps our team participate in tournaments/ team extra fun, it's good advertising for the sponsor and it’s also fun for the player to sport around town (almost 24/7 for some kiddo’s). My understanding is that the Hoodie’s are the most effective way to build team funds without having parents/players do multiple fundraisers. Win!-Win!
We need 3 more ($500) hoodie sponsors. Some people may be deathly afraid of asking for sponsors, but let me help dispel any fears surrounding this. I have found the following to be useful in my past experience with fund-raising:
1. Many employers will offer sponsorships for their own employee's - all you need to do is inquire if it's an option. There's no stress involved, all they can do is say no .... Or YES! Most Industrial corporations and unions like to support our local youth.
2. There are many businesses who want to support Fairbanks youth teams but are never asked. Don't say their "No" for them.
3. Most companies really like to sponsor patrons who regularly do business with them. It helps if your player can go with you, wearing a prior season's hoodie or jersey, so they can visibly see what they would be supporting. Consider all the places you have been doing business with, perhaps for a very long time.
4. "Sponsoring an HCF Team Jersey and/or Hoodie is the cheapest advertising you can find". A quote spoken to me in the last couple of weeks by a contributor.
Use this form 22-23 A&B Sponsorship Form.pdf and let Brian know if you have a request pending. If we decide to do other fundraisers instead, that’s okay, just let Brian know your preference so we know how to proceed. Have a fantastic day!

Parent Info - 14UB Team Norum
|
|
|
Hello Team Norum!
Great meeting most of you last week. Hope you are enjoying these colorful fall days. Here is a bit more info and some recap too. Typically correspondence will be short and sweet but in the beginning of the season, there is a lot of info to get out.
First practice will be Tuesday, 8pm at the Big Dipper. Please RSVP using the SportsSignUp App (see below).
Team Communication: HCF has provided an app that appears to be very functional for many teams so we will use this app to start the season off and go from there. Please get the app from the App Store (SportsSignUp Play) or go the the HCF website and sign in, then click on the "New Free Team App” and follow the directions. Please set this up as soon as possible so we can begin using it. **Please reply to Coach Norum’s message after you set it up.** If you need help with this, please let me know.
Jersey Sponsorship: It’s a 4 week turnaround process and we need one more Jersey sponsor ($500) before we can order the team Jersey's. THANK YOU SO MUCH to the Cole family (Aurora Animal Clinic), for committing to be our first Jersey sponsor. As soon as we secure both sponsors and receive their donation, we can place our order. Please contact me if you have a sponsor or have questions.
Fundraising: More to come from Brian Robb
907-750-8810. He’ll be reaching out to the team with more information about fundraising opportunities such as chuck-a-puck, 50/50, concessions, team hoodies, raffles, etc. Our team is responsible for at least one mandatory concessions that will cover entry fee’s into Fairbanks Fest Tournament.
Anyone can be a sponsor, make a contribution of any amount or create a fundraiser (with HCF pre-approval). All fundraising and individual contributions go into our team funds and help offset tournament entry fee’s, Dryland, extra ice time, team functions, building team camaraderie, etc. Email Brian if you have any fundraising ideas. Let me know if you need a Sponsorship form.
5% of all Corporate Sponsorship will be designated to the Scholarship Fund to help families in need be able to participate in HCF.
Scholarships: Applications, due October 15, are on the HCF website.
Socks: If your player needs them, please contact me so I can get them to you.
Locker Rooms: Coach will go over team protocol prior to first game.
Parent Duties: You’ll be assigned game duties such as clock, scoresheet, and penalty box. Duties will appear on the team calendar. If you’re unable to fulfill your assignment, it is your responsible to find a replacement and let me know who is filling in for you. There are helpful resources on the HCF website and you can also get familiar with the clock during team practices.
Locker room parents-we need (2-3): This duty is simply having a presence in locker room or being within ear shot of the locker room to help monitor activity and foster appropriate chatter and interactions, primarily when Coach Norum isn’t in the locker room. You’ll need to complete a background check (HCF will reimburse the $30 fee) and the Safesport online training course. Let me know if you are interested asap.
Optional Skills & Skating Sessions: One Hour sessions are available for each division 3 times a month on Sunday through mid February.
