Holy God guys. I just heard the greatest news this team has ever gotten. I've talked with the guy who organizes a HUGE tournament in England for college teams. Its their championship tourny essentially. He thought our idea of going over was great. He's offered free transportation while in england via University of Portsmouth busses, AND free lodging in players houses. I've worked a tenative deal with Delta that gets cheaper as more people come. If 10 go we get 380 dollar round trip tix. Basically I'm offering anyone who wants to play a week in England filled with hockey and lodging on a college campus full of women who like Americans for roughly 380 and whatever money you need for food and things. This is something that will never come around again for any of us unless you play pro, so I suggest you take advantage. Whatever money we raise or get from the Rec will help defreay cost as well. This trip might even end up being free. Right now I have 6 guys who have told me they want to go. I'll go with 6, hell I'll take one line only. To those guys who are up for it and have already told me, hell yes this is getting better by the day. Anyone who has not already told me they want to come better do so now. They will get this thing up on any day he says, so we can go spring break, winter break, or whenever. For the love of God tell me you all want to go...
Some quotes from the director's email...
it would be one of the biggest events in our
collegiate hockey history if you guys made the trip...
I can also organise your stay and
transportation within Britain free of charge... which would be a great
help as I'll just send our university bus to pick you guys up from the
airport, drive you to the venues... bit of sight-seeing if you guys
want... anything and everything can be arranged. Free lodgings...
Yeah so get back to me on that and forgive my excitement.
