Mission Statement:
The Spirit Committee promotes a positive and energized environment for the children of Cayuga Minor Hockey. 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 wants to instill that hockey is more than just a “Game”. Promoting team spirit encourages teams and parents to work together to build positive influential experiences that will inspire and energize generations to come
What is the Hockey Spirit Committee?
It is a group of parents and players that want to assist and help build team spirit for Cayuga Minor Hockey. Thru donations, sponsors and fundraising the Spirit Committee will enhance both Local League and Rep League team’s hockey experience.
What types of things will be done to promote Team Spirit?
Below is a list and brief description of planned events for the 2014/2015 season:
Monthly Challenges: Each month from October to March a different challenge will be presented to all the teams. Those that choose to take part and complete the challenge will post their completed challenge for family, friends and game spectators to vote on the best completed challenge. The winner will receive 1 hour of full ice practice sponsored by a local business or individual. An article will be sent to the local paper showing the team’s success and team spirit!
October: Cayuga Minor Hockey Motto & design a team ballot box
November: A fun team picture
December: Teams that participate in the Cayuga Santa Parade, representing Cayuga Minor Hockey and are the best festive dressed team. Take a picture.

Hockey already takes up a lot of my time. Do I need to commit myself to a certain amount of time or jobs?
Help when you can! You can help by sharing ideas, taking pictures, spreading the word about an event or helping at an event. We all possess different talents. Some of which we don’t even realize! Parent and children involvement is always needed during events. It is a wonderful way for enthusiastic students to get volunteer hours and for parents to get involved in hockey without a huge commitment. By pooling our resources we can do this together!
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much! Helen Keller
Let’s give our kids many happy memories full of fun events that ensure they enjoy their time playing hockey, on and off the ice! We as parents will in turn, enjoy it too!
