CONGRATULATIONS" to Morris Hockey Association players & parents! The Puck Buck Calendar Raffle was a BIG success! Nearly $9,000 was raised which will in the next months be used toward the new zamboni machine or some potential remodeling/upgrades to our arena. It also helps offset the rising expenses of running the arena--which in turn helps keep our player costs lower than many other hockey associations in our area. The commitment and support of each one of our hockey families makes our program, and the game, possible. Thank you.

Drawings were held at the Met Lounge and winners will be posted on Monday each week so check out the website!

We will be removing the ice from the Arena on Tuesday, March 9 in the afternoon. If every thing goes well we will have it hauled out by approximately 5:00. We could use some help at 5:00 to mop the floor to get all the paint removed so it will be ready for the KMRS KKOK Sping expo this week. They will be setting up for the Expo on Thursday morning.

Thank You

Ron Staples
