Ontario Enters Team in HPBAC Hockey Tournament at EXPO

The Ontario Chapter entered a team named the Ontario Hearthaholics in the 2008 Floor Hockey Tournament at the HPBAC Reception in Atlanta. Although the team didn't make it to the semi-finals, losing their first game to the EnviroMentals and tying the Vermont Castings Vipers, they definitely had the brightest jerseys.

Thank you to all participants on the team for your spirit and enthusiasm.

Ontario Chapter Board Looking for 2009 Summit Site
The Ontario Chapter Board is on the look-out for a site for the 2009 Summit and is hopeful of finding a suitable venue in the Ottawa area. We are looking for a site with similar atmosphere and convenience to last year's location in Huntsville. We should have a final decision by mid-May and will announce the location as soon as possible. Keep your calendar open in June of 2009!
