Everyone,
We are less than 1 month from the start of our 25th Summer of Martian Hockey. We are still working to find a way to include all players on our waiting list. We will not be accepting anymore wait list applications.
We will be contacting the remaining players this week on the status of their position and possible options for this summer.
We still have 3 open slots for the Defensive Specialty Skills on Tuesday nights.
Thanks!
