My Introductory Email to Parents

Once I received my team roster from the league, along with parents email addresses, it was suggested that the Head Coach introduce himself/herself to the parents.  It was a little strange emailing all these parents knowing I had never met them. 

If it helps you, please feel free to borrow/steal any or all of this email.  See below.

Hi everyone,

I'd like to introduce myself as the Head Coach for your child's IP team for this season.  For those new to SMHA, and those returning, Welcome!

I am very excited to see/meet all of you this coming weekend. There will be ice time on both Saturday (8am @ JLA) and Sunday (10am @ GRC).  Also you will see our team roster.  Both of which I just received last night and have attached. 

At the moment I am currently looking for volunteers for the following positions - starting this weekend (no experience required):

1. On Ice Helpers (3-5) - these volunteers will help drive the on-ice sessions

2. Trainer - every team needs 1 for sure at every practice.  Our team last year had two, just in case someone couldn't make it.  This is sort of a First Aid person, SMHA will offer a 1 day training session.

3. Manager - will manage money for things like end of year banquet & trophy

If you are interested in helping for any of these, please email me back as I will be happy to have your help starting this weekend.

Please stay tuned for more information coming soon and I look forward to seeing everyone this weekend. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call or email.

BTW - our team name is Blazers, but this can (and probably should) change.  I think it will be a fun activity for everyone.  So feel free to 'spit-ball' some ideas with your kids, then we can put it to a vote.  Our team jersey's are white with black and gold trim.  Similar to Pittsburgh Penguins.  My son has already had 3 team name ideas and is having fun thinking of new ones:

1) Lightning Penguins

2) Lightning Sharks

3) Hockey Zombies (don't ask)

Thanks!
