And We Begin!
Hello Lightning Families, 

Let the fun begin!! The hockey season is upon us. 

Please ensure that you subscribe to your team(s) calendar, once teams are settled so that you don't miss anything. Until that point, please take a look at the Association Calendar and find your player(s) Division, and follow those times. The Team Finder feature on the website is very helpful, and then choose Team Calendar.

Be sure to check the arena location for each of your ice times. To begin, we are only in Thornbury.
