| The Colorado Cup and President's Day Tournaments n |
We are looking for individuals to be on our Sponsorship Committee. These positions involve going out and meeting with local businesses to sell advertising in our Tournament Programs. The fees that teams pay to play in the tournaments cover most of the cost of the ice and officials however we rely heavily on sponsors for the rest. Sponsors also donate items for the Silent Auctions and Raffles. Keep in mind that the Tournaments CSAHA hosts are a huge fundraiser for Association and go a long way in keeping fees reasonable.
Last year it was a little harder to find sponsors and with the continued economic issues I suspect this year will be more challenging. With that in mind we have made some changes to the sponsorship package. In previous years we only had a few sponsorship package options; this year we have seven different options. These options are very affordable and offer some different perks for the businesses.
We want to get a head start on finding sponsors and the sooner the better. I started talking with individuals yesterday and have already had some success. We will provide you with a packet that includes the sponsorship documents and a Tournament Program so the businesses can see what they are getting. We will also be providing you with a polo type shirt that has one of the Tournament logos and Tournament Committee embroidered on it so that you have a professional look when meeting with potential sponsors.
If you are interested in helping or have any questions please contact me at mdpipkins@msn.com
Thank you,
The Tournament Directors |

| Miners Bantam AAA Update |
We wanted the CSAHA membership to be the first to know!
The Colorado Springs Amateur Hockey Association is proud to announce that the Pikes Peak Miners have been granted permission by CAHA to field a Bantam AAA team during the
2008-2009 season. The Miners staff and members of the CSAHA board will be discussing the best ways to implement this team into the current CSAHA structure over the next few weeks.
The Miners program has fielded a Major Midget team for 15 years and has been highly successful at helping Colorado Spring players move up through the hockey ranks. A Miners U16AAA team was added in 2006 and has quickly established itself among the elite teams in the Rocky Mountain District. The addition of the Bantam AAA team has completed the development of the Miners AAA program.
With the growth of hockey in Colorado, CSAHA has found it necessary to offer these types of opportunities to our membership. For years, we have lost some of our players to other AAA Bantam programs simply because they had no local AAA option. By providing this opportunity, we are planning to keep and develop more CSAHA players within our own systems.
Formal coaching announcements will be made soon. Tryout information and all other information regarding the Miners Bantam AAA team will be available through the Miners main website at www.pikespeakminers.com.
For information on the Miners program, please contact Lucas Trombetta at pikespeaklucas@msn.com or (719) 439-4731.
