NobleKing Peewee A Wins Silver in Lake Placid!

The NobleKing Peewee A team finished first overall and were undefeated in 4 round robin games against teams from Uxbridge, Oakville, Northern Virginia and Rhode Island to make it to the Gold Medal Game on Sunday, October 21st at the Lake Placid Challenge Cup.  Playing the only team they tied in the round robin series, the Oakville Rangers, the Knights scored in the third period to force the Gold Medal game into overtime. Unfortunately, the Knights were beat in the opening 2 minutes of 4 on 4 on the big Olympic ice, giving them the Silver Medal for the Oslo Peewee Division.

The team also competed in the Team Relay and won their division thanks to the speed of Blake Anderson, Brady VanMoorlehem, Lucas Pecchia and the anchor, Domenico Garieri. Carver Delmas and goalie Jake Bernhardt also represented the Knights in the Shootout with Carver just missing 1^st place by one goal and Jake saving his way to an impressive 3^rd place finish.

Congratulations to the entire team for taking home the Silver Medal in true Olympic style!

Peewee 1 Wins Bradford Blue & Gold Tournament, Jan. 20-22

NobleKing Bantam 1 Wins Championship in Stayner Cyclone Local League Tournament

NobleKing’s Bantam 1 Local League team spent the weekend of January 7th and 8th in Stayner, competing in the Stayner Cyclone Bantam Local League Tournament. The Knights defeated the Bradford Bulldogs 3-1 in their first game, in a hard fought battle. Bantam 1 then lost 5-2 to the Oro Thunder, suffering a late breakdown after leading for much of the game. The Knights need to win their third game in order to advance to Sunday play. Their third opponent was Saugeen Shores, and the Knights found themselves trailing 2-0 mid-way through the second period. However, the Knights came thundering back to win 5-2, and to advance to the semi-finals on Sunday. NobleKing met the Bradford Bulldogs for the second time in their semi-final game. All of the scoring in this game happened in the first period,with the Knights hanging onto a 2-1 lead for the remainder of play, and earning the right to compete for the championship. In their fifth and final game, the Knights met the Thornton Tigers. NobleKing gave up a goal in the first period, but then scored a pair in the second, leading to a frantic final frame. The Knights added one more mid-way through the third, and then survived a six on four power play to end the game. NobleKing had clinched the Championship with a thrilling 3-1 come from behind win against Thornton.

The Knights played well throughout the tournament, with the entire roster contributing to the win. The team is now looking forward to their next tournament (in Rice Lake) and the Local League playoffs.

NobleKing Fundraising - Volunteers from Each Team Needed

Now that the season is under way, the Executive would like to take this opportunity to thank you, for volunteering your time to help our kids enjoy another great hockey season. If not for your hard work and dedication, there would be no Minor League Hockey... so Thank You!!!

The Executive is proud to say that for the last 5 years there has been no increase in registration fees despite the increased cost of ice rentals, jerseys and equipment, and the addition of the HST. This is in part due to having great sponsorship from members, and fundraising events such as the NobleKing Tournament and our annual raffle. This year we are not holding our annual raffle, but in its place we are planning to hold a series of 3 separate Texas Hold`em Poker events. Our association has 22 teams; therefore we may require 3 events. The idea is to raise money at an event that can also promote a social gathering of all the members. Nobleton and KingCity are tight knit communities where everyone knows each other. The events will help raise some much-needed funds for the Association and some additional development funds for every team. This is a win... win... win...event!!

Now that you know why we are doing this event... here is where we need your help!!!

1) Each team must appoint 1 Poker Contact and 1 volunteer contact.

2) The Executive will book the facility, cater food, get licenses, organize poker, and oversee all aspects for each event.

3) Teams will be responsible to sell tickets to one of the three events, help at that event, and help collect silent auction prizes.

4) Event dates are to be announced with one held in January, one held in February, and possibly one held in March.

We know that you are already so heavily involved with your team and your everyday life, that this request may be a bit overwhelming. However, these events are to help promote additional parental involvement who would otherwise not participate directly with the teams.

Further information will follow in the coming weeks but in the meantime please feel free to contact Danny Macedo or any members of the executive with questions or for further information.

Jan. 20 Poker Night has been postponed. All tickets will be honoured on Feb. 24 or Mar. 24 nights.

BODY CHECKING

Please see the article below. NobleKing Hockey will still have body checking in its Local League Program.

Monday, May 16, 2011

Richmond Hill, ON: - The Ontario Hockey Federation`s [OHF] Minor Council met on Friday April 29th to discuss the minor programs and among the topics was body checking in recreational hockey.

The OHF Minor Council endorsed the following motion:

Effective the 2011 - 2012 season body checking will be removed from all age divisions of House League and House League Select hockey.

The OMHA wishes to clarify that the OHF ruling does not affect Local League hockey within the OMHA. The ruling applies to House League and Rostered Select only and will not impact current regulations for Local League.

Local League programs can continue as in the past, and the decision to include body checking in Local League programming remains that of the local membership of your association.

The OMHA seeks to provide programming to achieve objectives consistent with Hockey Canada's Long Term Player Development [LTPD] model, and provide players with opportunities within the recreational stream of hockey best suited to their development. With this in mind, the OMHA will endeavour, through consultation with all stakeholders, to provide opportunities to support the player at each stage in their development.

NobleKing Bantam 2 Wins Consolation Championship in Stayner

NobleKing’s Bantam 2 Local League team spent the weekend of January 8th and 9th in Stayner, competing among a field of sixteen teams for the Stayner Bantam Local League Tournament Championship. The Knights defeated the Mitchell Meteors 2-1 in their first game, where they dominated much of the play. Bantam 2 then lost a 3-2 squeaker to the Woolwich Wildcats, and finished play on Saturday wondering if they could still advance. In Sunday’s play, NobleKing won a crucial head to head game against the Durham Chaos, where the team played perhaps one of their best games of the year.

NobleKing Minor Hockey Association 2010/2011 Rep Tryout Process
OMHA Regulations for A Centres

1) Per the OMHA regulations (2.3 d) a Centre must enter a major representative team in any age group before it can enter a minor representative team in the same age group.

2) For “A” Centres, once a major team is rostered, either a minor A team or on an exception basis a Major Alternate Entry (AE)** team can be rostered if approved by the OMHA.

These regulations give NobleKing flexibility at Atom thru Midget when it comes to our rep program. If there are not enough kids to field a team at the minor level, there is the opportunity to field a Major AE** team. This Major AE** team could include minor and major aged players but the AE** team must be requested from and approved by the OMHA. It is important to note that per the above regulations a Major rep team needs to be rostered prior to a Minor or AE** team can be rostered.

Implications for Tryouts

All players should try out for the team at their age (minor or major). Minor players may try out for both teams.

The Major A team will select their team first and players will sign commitment forms. Commitment letters will be due back to the association OMHA Rep by May 31, 2010.

Minor players that try out for the major team may be selected to play for the major A team. Minor players will not be forced to play for the major A team if they do not wish to play for that team UNLESS such choice makes forming a major team impossible (due to numbers).

The minor team will be put together based on the players that come to tryouts. If there is not enough interest to form a team at the minor level, the association will look at combining the remaining major players and the minor players to form a Major AE** team. The coach that is selected for the minor team will be given first right of refusal to coach the Major AE** team. If he refuses, there will be another coach selection process for the Major AE** team. The Association through the OMHA Representative will complete the necessary documents to apply for approval of an AE** team before the June 1 deadline.

In order to ensure NobleKing can maximize the ability to form rep teams at both the major and minor levels, any disputes regarding the age group a player will be rostered to will be resolved by a committee that includes:

• The coaches of both teams

• The association Head Coach

• The OMHA Representative

• The Vice President

In the case of a conflict of interest with any of the executive members above, another executive member assigned by the President will sit on the committee.

Jersey Return Schedule

The date for jersey returns is Saturday, April 24, 2010 at the Nobleton Arena with the times set out for each team in the schedule below. This year we are returning the WHITE jersey.

1. Jerseys should all be returned at the same time according to your assigned time below. A $50 charge will be added to the cost of registration next season if the jersey is not returned.

4. C’s and A’s are to be carefully removed from the jerseys.

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.

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.

It is time that Council helps us understand why our ice costs are so high!

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.
