Senior Banquet 2009 (5 images)
In 2009, Senior Recognition Day was held on Saturday, February 14th. We had a very large group of graduating seniors: Steven Kannenberg, Alex Hohertz, Nate Seashore, Ryan Colvin, Matt Kallas, Tom Plotkin, R.J. Kakach, Joe Brumfield, Matt Rowley, Johnnie Hicks, Darnell Booker and Greta Peterson. With such a large group, we made a couple of changes. We switched from a supper to a pre-game brunch at 11:30am. Our games that day were against Armstrong at 1pm and 3pm. We planned the brunch so that JV players were able to join and still make it to their game at 1pm. The on-ice ceremony was held immediately following the 1pm JV game (before the varsity warm-up). Our invite and schedule were as follows: The purpose of the luncheon is to honor our senior players and their parents. All JV and Varsity players and their families are expected to join in the celebration! The meal will be simple: juice, coffee, muffins, baked egg dishes, fruit, etc. In the past, senior parents make a poster to hang on the wall upstairs featuring photos of their hockey player through the years. Please arrive by 11:30am for the luncheon and by 3rd period of JV game for the on-ice ceremony which begins immediately following the end of the JV game. Each introduction will take one minute or less. With our 12 seniors and their families, we are going to have to hustle! We've got to get our team on the ice, focused and ready to win against Armstrong! Photos: Each player/manager will have their photo taken with family/friends on the ice once they've been introduced. A group photo of all seniors and families is also taken following all the introductions. Again, we will need to move quickly in order to keep the team to their schedule. If you want a great visual of the day, please be sure to review the photos from last year's Senior Recognition Day at John Kallas' website. He did a great job of recording the day, from the on-ice ceremonies to the luncheon upstairs. You can also find photos at Michelle Groom's site.
