Indoor Season 2007:

. . . . . Dates have been set! Since the time was so successful this year, our slot is once again 12-2pm at Windy City Fieldhouse. Please note however that there is a possibility that we'll be bumped up by 1 hour on February 3. Becuase the season is due to start on January 20, signups are due by January 1 (or start your new years resolution early and get the applications in now!). Fees are still slightly variable because it depends on the number of players we have. We are currently estimating around $100 for full members, and $75 for students. Email Kamal (kmlelkhadiri@hotmail.com) ASAP if you'd like to participate. Include your tshirt size in the email so we can order the league shirts. Applications can then be sent to him in the mail (address to be provided when you send your intent to play).



Cinci 2007:

. . . . . Hot off the press! The Centurions Field Hockey Club of Cincinnati is proud to announce the return of the Midwest Indoor Field Hockey Challenge Cup for it’s third consecutive year. As with last year, the tournament will be limited to 8 teams. There is a four game minimum guarantee – after the round-robin stages each team will be placed into a knock-out qualifier until the finalists are sort. The games will be seven-a-side consisting of no more than three men outfield and a goalkeeper of either gender. Those teams that were in attendance for the 2006 tourney will be given priority for registration (everyone else will be on a first come first served basis).

The 2007 competition is scheduled to take place Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th of February.

We have been able to maintain an entrance fee of $350 per team (max. of ten players per team) - each player will receive a commemorative t-shirt. There will be awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place teams, as well as Tourney MVP. Checks are to be made payable to Cincinnati Centurions and must be received by Friday, January 13th, 2007 (address can be found at the bottom of this e-mail). Please confirm via e-mail ASAP whether you are planning to attend or not (and how many teams) – deadline for registration is Friday, January 6th, 2007. Accommodation – we are currently in negotiations with a local hotel to try and give you the best rates possible. We will send all relevant information to you on receipt of confirmation of attendance. Don’t forget the Saturday Night Social! We’re looking into a suitable venue to host this event and will let you know as soon as we have confirmation. Those that have been involved in the past will tell you what an enjoyable occasion this is. As with last year, the Centurions would like to be the perfect hosts and offer you refreshments and a few appetizers for the evening.

. . . . . Please submit your interest to the captains (mens-captain@chicagofhc.com, ladies-captain@chicagofhc.com) ASAP and by January 1 at the latest if you are interested in going! This is one of our social tournaments for the year, so it will be first come, first served and if we have enough interest for two teams they will be split evenly.


NAPL:

. . . . . Men - there is one spot remaining for a team at the NAPL tournament in Downingtown, PA on January 13-14. We need to assess very quickly if there's enough interest to send a team. Please send Kamal a note if you're interested by THIS SATURDAY December 23rd. Thanks!

Word from our ladies about this past weekend was that it was a very competitive tournament with some great teams participating - we ended up in 7th place (see the results below), and as a result we can qualify for the second round if another team decides not to come (which is likely). So, if you would like to go, please send Theresa an email by THIS SUNDAY December 24th. t's great to get CFHC in some of the best tournaments in the country! GREAT job ladies!
