This is just a reminder that this
Saturday March 7th is EG Eagles day at the Marlies Game for the Tyke and Novice Division families that bought tickets.
The game is at 3:00pm at the Ricoh Coliseum. Please make sure to wear your EG hockey jersey.
The Tyke players will be on the Bench during the Marlies warm up, and our Novice players will be holding the Canadian Flag during the singing of Oh Canada. There are detailed instructions on both experiences below.
There is also a waver form attached that was sent to you all via email (it is also found below), please print it and bring a signed copy with you – it is required for the kids to participate
I know there may be a family or two coming with one parent with two children (one novice, one tyke) – if you are in that boat, then please let Jen Mackey know ([email protected]) and we can help out making sure getting your child to where they need to be since there are different check in locations for the Tykes and Novices.
