Good Luck to all our teams participating in the state tournament.  You have worked hard all season and have made your coaches and families proud.  Have fun!  GO RAHA!

Please consider coming January 12th to the Cops v Coaches Robert Dikeman Memorial hockey classic.  This is an annual event the raises thousands of dollars for RAHA.  Come watch your favorite and least favorite RAHA coaches battle with the VT Enforcers hockey team.  This is a fun event that you can bring friends and family to.  I am still looking for event sponsors if you have a business or know people who do, there is no donation to big or small.  If you are a coach and wish to play please let me know as the roster is filling up fast.  We also need people to work the gate, sell tickets and work in the penalty boxes/ scorers booth.  Please contact me if you have any questions or wish to volunteer.  Please share the attached picture at work and with friends.

The Spartan men's hockey team and their coach Bill Silengo are hosting a Youth Hockey Night at their game against St Michael's College at 7pm Friday January 4th.  All Youth Hockey Players in their uniforms (both boys and girls) get free admission to the game (sorry, adults have to pay $7), sit in reserved seating as a group and will be recognized during the contest. Following the game, there will be an opportunity for the kids to meet with the Spartan players.

We hope to see everyone there!

Congratulations to Rutland Amateur Hockey's 12U Youth Tier II team, taking home the championship banner in this weekend's Fire on Ice Hockey Tournament, Glens Fall, NY.  The Tier II team went 4-0 in games against Troy-Albany, Buffalo Bisons, Adirondack Thunder, and the Plattsburgh Roadrunners.  Great teamwork, tier II team!

Hello Past and Present RAHA Coaches-

Castleton University has graciously donated space at Spartan Arena for our organization to display/mount any and all RAHA trophies and awards that have been won over the years.  We feel this is a great opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of past teams and hopefully build on them in the future.  

If you are in possession of a RAHA trophy, plaque, or award, we would love to get it displayed at Spartan Arena!  If you know of someone that has one that may not be on this email distribution list...please reach out to them.  

We will be collecting awards as follows:

• Drop the award off at Melen's Garage; 131 Woodstock Ave;
• Drop the award off at Cooley Chiropractic; 71 Allen St. #203;
• Email Brian Olsen at bolsen@rrmc.org to arrange for dropoff;
• Email Patrick Lowkes at plowkes@gmail.com to arrange for dropoff.

RAHA has been granted permission to mount plaques on the wall as well as display in a glass/wood display case.  If anyone knows of one that is available by donation or cheap, max. dimensions 44" x 88", please email me.

Please spread the word.

Thanks,

-Patrick Lowkes
