Rutland Amateur Hockey Association Jr. Spartans

Hello Rutland Amateur Hockey Families-

It is once again time to start thinking about hockey!  We will begin the 2018-2019 season registration in just a few weeks, and this year's format will be nearly identical to last year's successful registration.  

Our registration process will open on or about June 15th, and all returning players must be registered by July 15th in order to avoid a late registration fee.  There will be five optional payment installments, occurring July-November (on 15th of each month).  Pricing will be similar to the 2017-2018 season.  It is important that we have registrations in by July 15th, as this helps us plan our team numbers and levels of play.  USA Hockey Registration will be needed prior to completing our RAHA registration.  

Any requests for scholarship assistance must be received by June 30th, 2018 and mailed to our P.O. Box (RAHA, P.O. Box 455, Rutland, VT  05702).  Scholarship forms are located on our website. 

Stay tuned...and spread the word!

Castleton University will be running a summer camp/skills week at Woodstock's Union Arena summer 2018.  Coach Silengo has secured summer ice as follows:

July 16-19

Mite-Peewee 8:30am-12:30pm

Bantam-high school 1-5pm

$325 for the week for all ages

If you are interested in attending the camp, please reach out to Coach Silengo at silengow@gmail.com and he will provide additional information and an online flyer.  The camp flyer is also located below.

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
