Dear Coaches,
I wanted to quickly introduce myself and inform everyone about the upcoming 2012 AAA Presidents Day Tournament. My name is Brendan Buckley and I am joining the EHF for the upcoming hockey season. My primary role will be as tournament director for both the Elite and AAA tournaments. As many of you know the EHF has now established itself as one of, if not the best youth hockey leagues in North America. We believe having tournaments under the EHF name is a great way to market and expanded on an already great name. It is also a great opportunity for our teams/kids to play against the very best competition from not only around this area but throughout North America without having to pick up large travel expenses. Ultimately, the mission of the EHF Tournament is to provide fun, competitive hockey for all.
Without help from the coaches having a successful tournament is nearly impossible. I would like to put together a tournament committee made up of a few coaches from each age group along with the manager of each rink that will be hosting. The goal of this committee is to identify teams at each division that would be a good fit and competitive for our tournament. I believe that no one knows the teams better than the coaches and having your input is essential. The list right now consists of the winning coaches from last year. I would like at least two coaches helping out in each age group so if you could email me the runners up from last year or another coach from your division that you know will be competitive I would appreciated it. After gathering the information (list of teams you would like to see) from the coaches I can go out and recruit the very best teams available. It’s a group effort and a little help from a lot of people can go a long way.
