= action required | = note the date


Weekday Training:

. . . . . Tuesday morning (July 4) starting at 10 am at Northwestern University, so if we'll hopefully bypass your holiday BBQ plans. Because of the holiday, this is a little less formal and more of a hit-around -- Shahid and Shayan will definitely be there, so join them if you can!


Weekend Practice:

. . . . . Will be held at Concordia on Saturday (July 8) from 4-6pm this week - unfortunately the turf at Northwestern is completely booked for the weekend before our tournment. Even though the field at Concordia is different, it's important we try to get out there to prepare ourselves for Chicago Cup. Remember, Moe's having a party afterwards!


 

MSU tournament:

. . . . . Great job to the team who traveled to MSU this weekend for the Spartan Summer Classic. We were undefeated through Saturday's round robin games, and found ourselves in the championship match against the Mavericks on Sunday afternoon. We lost the game 2-1, causing us to finish second place in the tournament. Although the happenings in that final game are controversial at best, the CFHC team played superbly throughout the tournament and showed a lot of competitive spirit and class on and off the field - we have a lot to be proud of! The full story is coming soon, thanks to our reporting duo of Tina and Betsy.


Chicago Cup:

. . . . . It's less than two weeks away! There are many things you can do to make our tournament a success this year. Please go here to view the tasks where help is still needed and to sign up. We'll be sending out further updates this week, so keep an eye out. Also, this letter can be printed and given to anyone that you think might be interested in an ad or 'shout out' in the brochure.

. . . . . Teams are now posted. We are happy to be putting forward two great Chicago teams!! The board met at the beginning of the year and decided to make some tournaments "social" (e.g. MSU) where we take players on a first come first serve basis, and others as "competitive" where we set our sights on winning and pick the strongest available squad. We have agreed to make Chicago Cup our first "competitive" tournament of the year. Simon Allen will be captaining the Chicago A and Nadeem Khan will be captaining the Chicago B.

. . . . . Tournament fees must be given to Shayan or Theresa before July 8 (either at practice, MSU, or via mail to Shayan's address). The cost is $35 and includes food at the social.


World Cup Final Game:

. . . . . We have the cure for Moe’s post party hangover! Join the rest of your teammates in Nevins for the World Cup final. We are all planning to get together to enjoy the biggest sporting event on the planet, it only happens once every four years. The game kicks off at 1 pm, so we are going to start gathering in Nevins around 12 pm to enjoy the build up and then the game itself. Pick your team and bring your colors!!


 

Team Uniforms:

. . . . . Have arrived!!! We must get the shield printed on the front before you'll receive them, so we'll keep you posted. You must pay before you can get your order. If you didn't order, there are extra shirts (email me with your size, and realize that all the numbers are pre-printed at this stage), but we only ordered bottoms for those who requested them. If you would still like to get a bottom to go with the uniform, please take care of ordering your own at Field Hockey World. The women's skort is the TK Pisa in Navy, and the men's shorts are the TK San Remo in Navy (you will need to scroll on each page to see them). Please enter something about Chicago FHC in the delivery options section of the order form, so they know what orders are coming from us. There is no immediate discount, but it will give us more leverage in the future with them if they know when our team members are making purchases.
