Open welcome


June 10, 2013

 

Hello to the USA Maccabiah Open Ice Hockey Team!  In exactly 30 days from today you will be departing for Tel Aviv, Israel and the World Maccabiah Games.  Hope you're prepared for an incredible experience.  Trust me, you will never play hockey in a more unique place than Metula, Israel.  After captaining the 1997 USA Maccabiah Team, I am excited to be a part of the Games again.  I have so many great cool memories from my '97 experience and I hope you feel the same way after these Games. 

 

Remember, the Team is scheduled to get together in Long Island, NY July 9-10 for two ice sessions.  We will have a team dinner on July 9 after practice and it will be a fun night to meet and catch up with everybody.  Please don't wait until the last minute to ask any questions.  Devra Schorr is the best person to direct team related inquiries to. 

 

In the meantime, I hope everybody is well and you have all been able to train/skate.  Once the competition gets going there will be a lot of hockey in a short period of time.  It is also going to be Israel in July and that means HEAT!  If you aren't in shape you won't feel well. 

 

We'll be in touch soon with more details.  Looking forward to it!
