Dear MI5 Atoms teams parents and players, 

I would like to send a few updates this week, some of them are quite admin focused, but please do pay close attention:

COBRAS AND MAGIC TEAMS FULLY FORMED 
Great news that we now have two full Atoms teams registered: Cobras (14 players + goalie) and Magic (14 players + goalie), see Rosters. And both team photos are now on our website.

PRACTICE SCHEDULE CHANGES
My sincere apologies that I have to make a few schedule changes. Please check very carefully the Practice Schedule (please note some times have changed by 15-60 minutes in some cases). I highlighted all the changes in bold red.

I have also made tentative reservations for additional ice times during the later part of April. Please let me know whether you would like to practice during the later part of April. As usual, if we do not have enough interests, we will not run the practice.

If the schedule changes cause any of you inconvenience and you now cannot make, please let me know, I will refund your payments. 

PRACTICE PAYMENTS 
Please see Accounting to check I have got the information correct regarding practice payments. 

VERY IMPORTANT!!! PASSPORT NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH CHECK 
I need to do a name and date of birth check with each of you to ensure I have got the player’s official passport name entered into the registration form. On the day of the tournament, the player must bring his/her passport for ID check. No player will be allowed in without a proper ID matching the name and date of birth entered on the registration form. Please send me an email if your child has a name that is different than listed on the Rosters. (For privacy I've abbreviated all the last names, I think I got your last names...)


SCHOOL NOTE FOR EXCUSED ABSENCE 
Some of you have mentioned you need a school note for excused absence during MI5 tournament. Please send me an email to let me know if you need a note from a coach for your child’s school. I will get the note for you. 

JERSEYS, SOCKS AND GEAR  
Typhoons will provide both the Cobras and Magic jerseys. I have handed out most of the Magic jerseys. Cobras jerseys will be handed out sometime in April before the tournament (as the Cobras team is still playing in the Typhoons final). 

Players will also need to wear the white “CN Link” socks. I will bring them during our Easter practice for those of you who do not have.

Obviously, your child needs to have full gear including sticks for the tournament, if you do not have full gear, please email me to let me know what you need, I will try to secure for you. 

Thank you very much and have a great week.

Dear Cobras Parents and Players,

TEAM PHOTO THIS SUNDAY MARCH 18^th 8:30am

We have an opportunity to put our team photo in the MI5 brochure. We would like to see if we can get as many players as we can to take a photo this coming Sunday March 18th at 8:30am at Dragon Center (the time between the two playoff games when all 4 Typhoon MSQ teams should be present.) If you cannot make, do not worry, it’s ok. 

NO PRACTICE THIS SUNDAY MARCH 18^th

Please note that there will be no practice this coming Sunday (March 18th). The MegaIce 1/3 ice was too small for the size of our team. So it is not a good use of our time and money to practice at only 1/3 ice. For those of you who have paid more than 1 lesson, if you cannot use it up, I will buy your lessons from you. Samuel can use them for later.

Although in speaking with some of the parents, some of us are interested in taking our kids to go and practice and play this coming Sunday. We do have that timeslot (Sunday March 18th 5-6pm), so some of us will be there. You are welcome to join us, but this is entirely optional (all practices are optional) and not really a team practice.

TEAM PRACTICE SCHEDULE
I have now posted the team practice schedule on our website here. Thanks for returning all your spreadsheet of availability. Based on your availability, there are 5 potential dates during Easter holiday to practice at Dragon Center Full Ice ($250/person) and 1 Full Ice practice at MegaIce ($350/person). I have emailed you the signup form to sign up your child for the dates you can make. Please follow the instruction to mail me the signup form (or return to me at the rink) and please return the form with payment. If we meet the minimum number of players, I will book and pay for the rink. As always, all practices are optional, you choose how many practices to attend.

TEAM ROSTER
I have also posted the team roster on our website here as well. Great news that the Cobra team is now FULL. As a matter of fact we now have more interested players than the team can take. Therefore we would like to see if we can form a 2nd team (Magic) so all players interested get to play, we now have 8 players expressed interests for the Magic team. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the tournament, please let me know and recommend them to signup (look under How to Join? section)

Thank you so much  and have a great week! See you Sunday March 18th.

Yvonne
