Mite Jamboree
Hello Everyone,
Well as you all should know by now the Jamboree is almost upon us. This Sunday will be one of the most fun of days for our children and I am doing my best to make sure that day will run as smooth as possible. So here is a few things that I need everyone to check out,
First I still have a few hours that need to be taken for the day, so if you either need hours or don’t please come talk to me tonight at practice. Attached to this e-mail is the Sign up sheet, if you are already signed up for hours please double check the hours and be sure that you will be able to work those hours.
Second, To all the coaches I need names and what teams you will be coaching for that day. If you could let me know either tonight at practice or in a e-mail by Friday that would be great.
And finally, just a reminder that this is open to the public and we encourage everyone to bring family and friends as this is a very fun and exciting day for all the children. We will have many things going on to keep everyone of all ages busy. Please do tell them though that there is a small admissions fee when they come but it is $3.00 for adults and $2.00 for children.
I would like to thank everyone that has helped me along the way and apologize if it has taken me longer to get back to some of you. I will be at practice tonight for both teams so all parents and coaches can come find me, (hint i will be by the tables for most of the night trying to remain sane). Looking forward to seeing everyone!!
Below is the schedule of this weekend:

Pancake Breakfast
Dear Tornado Youth Hockey Family:
I would like to thank you in advance for supporting our 3rd Annual Pancake Breakfast on Sunday, February 21st, from 7:00am to 11:00am at the OmniCenter. I have no doubt that this event will prove to be a success for our fundraising efforts this year.
Every family will receive 10 (numbered) tickets to purchase or sell. We do understand that some teams may be out of town this weekend however, tickets can still be sold to family and friends. Also, if you would like to sell more tickets there will be more available just let me know.
The price for a ticket to breakfast is only $4.50 but will be $5.50 at the door the day of event. Children under 5 are free. Breakfast includes, all you can eat pancakes, sausage, fruit, milk, juice and coffee.
You may turn in money for tickets to your Team Managers at practices through Feb 15th. You many also drop off the money from selling your tickets anytime in the TYH Locked Mailbox at the Omni Center. Please be sure to use a sealed envelope with both “Pancake Breakfast” and your family name written on the outside of the envelope.
Past years have allowed TYH families to enjoy a great breakfast, and spend time getting to know each other better. Our skaters appreciate your help in making this a HUGE success!
If you have any questions, please contact me at 783-5831 or email stephdabrowski@tornadoyouthhockey.org
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!

TYH Cookbook Recipe Entries
LAST CALL FOR RECIPES!
We still need your family’s favorite recipes for the First Edition TYH Cookbook. FINAL DEADLINE for recipe submission is extended to January 31, 2010.
Since we did not collect the 300 to 400 recipes needed to publish a TYH cookbook in the Fall 2009, we are continuing the project for the 2010-11 hockey season. Our plan is to publish the cookbook in late Summer of 2010 and have the books available for sale and distribution in the Fall.
THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HAVE SUBMITTED RECIPES TO DATE. If you have already submitted five recipes, please do not add any more recipes at this time. We are hoping to have most of the TYH families represented in the cookbook.

Sponsors Needed
It is that time of year again to look for sponsors to support our young sons and daughters in a game they love, HOCKEY. If you own a business or work for someone you think would be interested in sponsoring a hockey team, tournament or just supporting us by placing an ad, please give us a call. Below I have outlined a variety of sponsorship options. Please contact Shelly LaPlount if you have any questions.
Team Sponsor – the business name will be printed on each player’s jersey. A display ad will appear in our official tournament program. This program is provided to everyone who attends our home tournaments. You will also receive a photo of the team you sponsor. A two-year team sponsorship is $1000.
Tournament Sponsor – businesses will receive an ad in our official tournament program. The sponsor will be announced during every game during the tournament requesting patronage to show our appreciation for their support of youth sports in our community. A tournament sponsorship is $350.
Ad – you can get a ½ page or full page in our official tournament program. A ½ page is $75, full page ads are $100.
Internet ad – a banner ad for your company with a hyperlink to your website will appear on the Tornado Youth Hockey web site. $100/season
During the season we host 8 weekends of invitational tournaments, bringing in teams and fans from nearby communities as well as from the upper Midwest and Canada. These teams stay at area hotels, eat at local restaurants and gas up their vehicles at our gas stations and so on. We estimate that our tournaments bring in approximately $ 500,000 to the local economy each season.
