Local League Closing Remarks 2021-22
Closing Remarks 2021-22

We made it! Although the season was not ideal with a mid-season shutdown, and the many changing rules and protocols, we can all agree that our kids finally got to play hockey! I saw and heard from many happy parents and players who were just thankful to be back at the rink and enjoying hockey again with friends. We are so thankful for your flexibility this season with the ever changing rules and protocols, as everyone did their part and the season was a success!  


The players once again were able to participate in league games, championships, tournaments, stay in hotels and have team dinners together. It felt almost normal again! Overall, it was a great season of Local League hockey in Lambeth! Thank you for being a part of it this season! 

Before we move on to our Spring/Summer activities I would like to take a minute to share a few highlights with you about each of our six Local League teams. Our teams reported having tons of fun, making new friends, developing their skills, and working together as a team through exciting victories and tough losses. Many of our teams attended tournaments this season with some exciting accomplishments to share. Congratulations to all!

Volunteers

Please make sure you take the time to thank your Coaches and other bench staff, as all the great things highlighted above would not have happened without our volunteers.  I would like to thank all Coaches and volunteers for your dedication and support of the Lambeth Local League Program.


Congratulations to all our Lambeth Lancers! Have a wonderful Spring and Summer, and I hope to see everyone in the Fall!
