You had mentioned before about possibly extending the tournament an extra day to include a golf tournament day/event? Also, if numbers are a problem this year is it too late to postpone until 2010 and spend the year organizing to expand the tournament? Just a thought. All the best for the holidays and 2009.

Tammy   From: MDA Email: tclelland@mdausa.org   Tournament Committee Tuesday, 10/9/07, 2:45 PM   The committee is throwing around the idea of having a tournament within a tournament to crown the best "A" Division Team. We need to field 8 "A" teams and run that division as a double elimination. We would still guarantee 4 games but the winner would take home the title. To make this work we need 8 "A" teams. Right now we have 5 committed. FDNY, NYPD, Boston Fire, Winnipeg Fire "Smokies" and our defending 2007 Champs The Winnipeg Fire "Young Guns". This is in the infant stages but we know we can make it work if we have 8 teams in the "A" so if you know any teams please pass the word. Thanks, Lorne   LOrne Spence Sunday, 10/7/07, 10:44 AM   The tournament is going great, We have 3 spots in the "A" and 1 in the "B" left. I am holding a few spots in the lower divisions for teams that have expressed or shown interest by participating in the past or contact me to hold a spot but have not paid. If you are still interested please email me as soon as possible. I have been fielding calls all week about our tournament and available spots.. But I feel obligated to hold spots for teams that have supported our tournament. So please email or call me if interested and get that payment in the mail. As you know bills need to be paid. Also, if you have paid your deposit your payment in full is due. I also have players that have no teams, if you need players get with me and I will get you there contact. If you want to travel and your team can't make it, get with me and I will get you on a team.   Email: Orlando Hockey Team Department  321 689-7554   Tournament Committee Saturday, 10/6/07, 4:33 PM   We are still holding some spots for teams that contacted us early on.
