The Team Spirit Challenges
are back! There are 4 challenges set for this season. Each challenge has a due
date but can be worked on at any time before that date. The winning team of
each challenge will receive an hour of ice time, pizza and refreshments all
donated by generous local sponsors.
The concept behind the Spirit Team is to promote a positive and
energized environment for the children of CDMHA. By encouraging team work and
promoting team spirit, we help our children build strong relationships, give
back to their community and work together to achieve a common goal of making
the arena a fun place to be. The Spirit Committee wishes to instill that hockey
is more than just a “Game”.
The 4 challenges this year are . . .
October - Develop this seasons Cayuga Minor Hockey Motto - Sponsored by Yager Electric
November – Build a decoration for the Cayuga Minor Hockey float for the Cayuga Christmas Parade on Friday Dec 1, 2017, and participate in the parade. – Sponsor Grand River Heating and Cooling

For any questions, concerns or details regarding the challenges please email [email protected] Anyone that wishes to join the committee and help plan events for the children are welcome!
Teams should assign a parent volunteer to help co-ordinate the challenges and act as a liaison for the team. This job is not a difficult one and will help alleviate adding more responsibility on to the coaches.
The Spirit Team is also planning a Breakfast with Santa on Dec 2, 2017 from 8:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. in the McSorley Room of the arena. Santa is due to fly in at 9:00 a.m. Everyone is welcome to attend to enjoy breakfast and let Santa know what is on their wish list! Mark your calendar!
Team spirit is for everyone! Help make a positive and memorable hockey season!
