TBD	Sat	TBD	2009-10 TRYOUTS at Terry Conners Rink (60 min) Open to all eligible high school players. To avoid undermining the competitiveness of similar programs in other communities, we favor local candidates and others who have no high school team opportunity. Our aim is not to recruit a great team, but to build one. Consistency of commitment: If you play for the Spinnakers, you play only for the Spinnakers. Our season runs from September through March. Subject to game & practice schedules of fall interscholastic teams, candidates should be available for the entire season. Click here for registration form. Register by 3/19/09.
Now! (Or sooner!)			Make early reservations for hockey camp! College coaches who want their camps promoted here are welcome to attend one of our games and personally describe their programs to our players.

In order to join the Spinnakers on the ice for any reason, you must give us a current USA Hockey registration confirmation. Every player registers herself (with parents assisting minors) on-line at www.usahockeyregistration.com for the year beginning September 1. You will need a credit card to pay the registration fee. Forward the confirming e-mail (the one with the bar code) to manager@spinnakers.org. Please register early, so we can complete the process by registering our team and our camp participants before the new season begins. On-line registration for the coming season opens on May 1.

The Spinnakers enjoy financial support from Stamford PAL and donors who prefer no public acknowledgement. The Spinnakers program is also benefited by our friendship with The Stamford Advocate, Stamford Youth Hockey Association, Instant Replay Sporting Goods, and Terry Conners Rink. Thanks to all our sponsors and friends for supporting community-based girls ice hockey.
Parents and friends, we need additional sponsors in order to cover our expenses while making hockey affordable. If you know of any organization that will help us sustain and expand this opportunity for girls, please follow up. We will be happy to provide program information. If you multiply our annual fee by the number of girls on our roster, you can easily see why we need sponsors.
