Dear CHA Parents and Skaters:
Hard to believe that we're less than a month out from the end of our season. Even harder to believe that for Chelmsford Hockey Assn. Travel Teams we begin again in about three and a half months.
News from your Board of Directors:
New Members:
We are proud to welcome the following two people to our Board of Directors:
Scott Millin and Jim Connelly
Departing Members:
We say a very appreciative good bye to the following CHA Board Members whose terms have drawn to a close and for whose service to the Board we are very grateful:
Chris Hill, Scott Calnan and David Omobono
New League Affiliation:
As you will note from earlier emails and web postings from me, effective with the new season we will now be exclusively members of the Valley League. Following our departure from Dual State we have been joined in this move by Woburn, Salem (NH) and Burlington. More information will be coming on this.
Team Selections for 2008-2009 Travel Teams:
Your Board of Directors met on May 5, 2008 and voted to approve the placements for the 2008-2009 hockey season travel teams. We will post them on the web-site on May 12, 2008 or soon thereafter. Listings will be by team and then by try-out jersey color (black or red) and number. When the listings come out (and not before, please) if you don't remember your child's try-out jersey color and number you can email (only) CHA Vice President - Operations,
for this information.
If you have a dues balance left over from the 2007-2008 season and you have not already contacted CHA Treasurer Pam Anastasi to work out a payment plan you must do so before we post these. Per CHA policy we can't place players on teams whose parents are carrying a balance unless that parent has worked out a payment plan with the Treasurer.
That's it for now.
Peter Lawlor, President

2008-2009 CHELMSFORD HOCKEY ASSOCIATION
LEAGUE AFFILIATION
Dear Parents and Hockey Players:
I am proud to announce to you all that the Chelmsford Hockey Association Board of Directors has voted to change our league affiliation for the 2008-2009 season beginning in September, 2008 from Dual State to the Valley League.
Why the change? While CHA has a history with Dual State we have increasingly found that too often our teams were travelling to Saugus, too often our teams were having late weeknight games and too often we were playing against the same opponent over and over.
Our new affiliation with Valley will guarantee more games to be played at the Forum and a richer and more varied breadth of competition. We looked long and hard at this and trust that you will find that it will be a good move for the entire Association.
Our travel teams will still be playing the same number of games as they did this season.
If you have questions please feel free to let any of the Board know and we can get you the answers you need.
See you at the Annual Meeting on April 14, 2008 at 7:00 PM at the Chelmsford Country Club.

Peter V. Lawlor, President

Dear CHA Families:
Hi there. We’re in the last full month of the ‘07-‘08 hockey season and it has been very good year for our hockey players and teams. This year we’ve seen several of our teams distinguish themselves by not only receiving invitation to play in District, States and (soon) Regionals but also doing very well there. Additionally, we’ve seen great interest (meaning strong numbers) in our feeder programs, Learn to Skate, Peter Puck and In-House. All signs of a very healthy program. Although it's getting harder to find teams each year, the President's Cup finished with one Chelmsford champion and 2 other finalists
With this season’s near end, the focus of the CHA Board of Directors has turned to the 2008-2009 hockey season. Which brings about two topics that I would appreciate your giving your attention to:
A. 2008-2009 Travel Team Dues:
The Board of Directors voted at its March 4, 2008 meeting to set the dues for travel teams (all teams other than Learn to Skate, Peter Puck, In-House and our Midget Programs) for the upcoming season. We held our price increases to just slightly over 4% - a number that we feel will be reflective of increase ice costs which in turn tend to be impacted by energy costs.
Our dues for next season, therefor look like this:
1. Boys Travel Teams: $1750 per player
2. Girls Travel Team $1375 per player
Hopefully, you will agree that this increase is modest and is in keeping with the bare-bones operation of your all-volunteer Board of Directors.
B. Board of Directors Openings:
Annually, some portion of our Board of Directors stand for election. This year we know that through resignation or retirement that there will be a few open seats on the Board. It is part of my job, as the CHA President, to try to fill those Board seats with hockey mothers or fathers who are willing to join us to help keep this organization vibrant and refreshed with new ideas.
I am asking that you please consider running for a seat on the Board at this year’s April Annual Meeting (date to be announced). It’s fun. It’s interesting. You can make a difference.
If you value what your son or daughter is getting out of the Chelmsford Hockey Association then please consider stepping up and becoming a part of this group. Questions about what being on the Board is like and what it entails? Please ask
or Vice President of Operations,
.
All for now.
See you at the rink.
Peter Lawlor
President, Chelmsford Hockey Association
