Peewee #2 Wins Clarington Tournament 21 Feb 2010

NobleKing Minor Hockey Annual General Meeting

All rostered players and staff will receive an envelope with the information you need to prepare for the upcoming Annual General Meeting, Thursday, 25 February, 7:00 p.m., Nobleton Arena Auditorium.  While members of the general public are welcome to attend, they will have no standing to make presentations to the room, present motions or vote on items.  All current NobleKing members are listed on the sign in sheet that will be at the door and you are required to sign in as you enter so that we can properly record attendance and votes as needed.

CLARIFICATION:  At last year’s NobleKing Annual General Meeting, we approved the incorporation of the organization as a not-for-profit entity.  While that has been completed, we are still working on the final version of a new constitution for the newly incorporated organization.  In advance of receiving a draft of this new document, proxy requests were sent to all members with the assumption that they were needed.  It turns out that proxies are not required as both the current and new, draft constitution require members to be in attendance at the meeting to cast votes.  All members are encouraged to attend the AGM next Thursday, 7 p.m. in Nobleton.  The Executive apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.

Good luck to all in this our 'second season' of hockey.  Remember, at the end of the day, win, lose or tie, the prize money is still the same :)

Township of King - Council / Committee Meeting, Monday, 8 Feb, 6:00 p.m.

There is a meeting on Monday in King City at the Council Chambers where among other things the proposed fees for our minor hockey ice contract will be discussed.  Please note that the proposed increase AND the upcoming HST will have a very significant cost impact on all members.  It is also apparent that Schomberg Minor Hockey has a smaller proposed increase to their ice rates for next season and their hourly rate remains well below what is charged in King City and Nobleton.  It is time that Council helps us understand why our ice costs are so high!

NobleKing Shinny Ice on BladeNet

From time to time we will post open, shinny ice on the schedule.  The format for this is very simple - registered NobleKing players can participate in full equipment for some non-contact pond hockey!  Adult supervision is required however it is expected that our players will run the on ice activity themselves in these shinny sessions.

Custom mouthguards are better than 'Boil and Bite' and not much more $

NobleKing Minor Hockey is happy to recommend Lise Fillion, DD, as a local business option for having a custom sport mouthguard made.  Lise is located at the King City Denture Clinic, 12967 Keele Street, Unit 5, just south of King Road and a short walk from the King City Arena.  Please see the attached for more information.  Be sure to mention that you are a NobleKing player when you drop in or book your appointment at (416) 559-8500.  Remember, all players are required to wear a mouthguard whenever they are on the ice in the OMHA.

NobleKing Fundraising Update

The Association is looking for an individual or small group who will quickly step in to fill a vacancy in the Fundraising portfolio.  Fundraising activities help offset the costs of hockey for all players and are a very important revenue stream each season.  With the Township already warning us to expect an increase in ice rental costs next year of GREATER THAN 10% we need all the help we can get from our fundraising efforts.

If you are interested, please email president@noblekinghockey.com

Local League and Jr. Knights about to begin the season!

If you are a fully registered player and you have not yet been contacted by a coach to come to the pre-season evaluation skates, please go to the Teams page and email each of the coaches in your player division to find out when to be on the ice.  After this weekend, the Convenors and Coaches will do the player drafts to set up the teams.  Going forward, you can look at BladeNet to find your home ice times by team.

Local League and Jr. Knights are starting soon - if you have not yet paid your fees, you will not be allowed to skate

All coaches will receive a list of players who are permitted to skate on NobleKing ice.  If your daughter/son is not on this list it means you have not properly completed your child's registration for hockey this season.  If your child is not properly registered, they are not insured and therefore WILL NOT be permitted to participate in any practices or games.  If you believe you have been left off of this list in error, email registrar@noblekinghockey.com immediately to get this corrected.  Coaches will be contacting players to inform them of which times posted on BladeNet your player should attend in the next two weeks.

SCHEDULING NOTE:  No players are assigned to specific Local League teams yet so don't be confused by BladeNet postings that show Novice 1, Bantam 1, etc.  All players will be invited to attend the proper sessions by email or phone call from the coaches.
