Hello All Rusties! 

We hope you had a great Thanksgiving and are well along with preparations for the Christmas holidays.

We have a few things going on and would like to bring you all up to date.

Roanoke Civic Center

The RCC will take out the ice in January and there are no plans to put the ice back in until September 2010. Our last scheduled skate there is Thursday, January 21st.

With the help of the folks at the LaHaye Ice Center in Lynchburg, we were able to get some pretty good ice times there on Wednesday nights, from January 27th through to April 28th. The ice times are: January 27 thru February 24: 7:45 to 8:45 PM and March 3 thru April 28: 7:30 to 8:45 PM.

There are still openings for a couple of skaters and one goalie for that Wednesday ice time. If you are interested, please contact Jeff Shelor.

Saturdays in Roanoke

Jeff Shelor has booked 3 Saturday Mornings at the RCC from 10:30 to 11:45 AM.

The dates are December 26th, January 2nd and January 16th. Jeff will have more information going out on this in the next few days. 

Mondays in Lynchburg

We have one opening for a skater on Monday nights in Lynchburg. Ice time is 8:30 to 9:45 PM. If you are interested, please contact Bob Coffin or Gary Ruberg.

Mini-Tournament February 6, 2010

We have scheduled a mid-season Mini-Tournament to be played at the LaHaye Ice Center in Lynchburg on Saturday morning, February 6, 2010 from 9:15 AM to 12:45 PM. As in the past, we plan to get 4 teams together and each will play three 30 to 35 minute games. More information and sign-up will follow in a few weeks.

Mini-Tournament and Fifth Annual Outing May 8, 2010

Mark this date on your calendars now!

We will have a season-end Mini-Tournament at LaHaye Ice Center from 9:15 AM to 12:45 PM on May 8, 2010. This will be followed by our 5th Annual Outing at Liberty Lake Park in Bedford, from 1:00 to 5:00 PM. We have reserved the Peaks View Pavilion and upper ball field, as we did last year, and are planning on a catered meal once again.

Jerseys

We have processed the orders for those of you who ordered jerseys. We had most of the jerseys on hand and they were delivered to be lettered and numbered.  Our supplier is an avid bear hunter, has just found his way out of the woods, and we should have them in the next day or two. We have also ordered the additional jerseys needed to fill the current order, plus some extras to allow us to have a few on hand for those who may want to order in the future. We should have them in a couple of weeks.

Holiday Ice Times in Lynchburg

There will be no ice time on Thursdays on either December 24th or December 31st.

We have early ice time Monday, December 21st: 6:30 to 7:45 PM

 “      “       “      “     “         “         December 28th: 6:00 to 7:15 P

Due to repairs being made, there will be no ice on Monday, January 4th

Happy Holidays to All!!!!
