I heard from Becky this morning.  She is willing to lead our poly hockey team. I deeply thank her for her support.  Parents if there are others that are willing to help please let me know. For insurance purposes we need you to sign up for at least unified member. Thanks all for reading my emails.

Big shout to Cakah family for being the first to spend me photos of their rocks

Got it Julie

Excellent thanks Julie

1. To our athletes, volunteers, coaches, families and friends of Special Olympics Minnesota: After careful discussion and review of new developments regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19), we have made the difficult decision to cancel all Special Olympics Minnesota area and regional competitions for the spring/summer sports season (swimming, basketball, track & field and gymnastics). While cancelling events is disappointing for athletes who have trained and practiced to compete, we know that our love of sport does not compare to the importance of protecting the health of our athletes and the entire Special Olympics Minnesota community. Along with the decision to cancel area and regional competitions, all practices and other Special Olympics Minnesota gatherings are suspended until April 15, 2020 at which time we will reevaluate and send an update via email. It is still our hope to host Summer Games in June and therefore we want to allow practices to resume as soon as it is safe. If we are able to safely host Summer Games, participation in an area or regional competition will not be required in order to compete at the state level. Summer Games registration requirements are still to be determined and we will update you as soon as we know more. If we are able to host Summer Games this year, we know it will be a joyful and triumphant return for our community. During this time, all updates will be posted on somn.org/covid19. Thank you for your patience and understanding. This is uncharted territory and we appreciate your support as we work to make the best decisions for our athletes and everyone in our community. 1.

Hi All, Our athletes really worked hard today in our games between the St. Paul Magic and the Stanford hypes. I am proud to say that they stuck with to work together to try hard for a win. Tomorrow is a new day and from what it look like we could be playing two games tomorrow (on sunday). Please do what you can to prepare you member for both teams. Our first game is at 9:55 am. Please arrive 30 minutes before game so they have time to warm up . I would like to see everyone on the court at 9:25 am. Please be prepared that we will play both team tomorrow. The St. Paul Magic seems to be a easier team for us to play against but we can't ever be overly confident. If they change something tomorrow we could easily lose the game. Then there is Stanford Hypes . We are aware of concerns with the goalie and we are working with SOMN to work that out. Please take note that our athletes are well matched in ability to this team and that is why the team is feeling stressed as they have to work much harder for a win. This is a much harder team to win against and I understand how stressful this is for everyone including parents. The coaches need parents not to come over to the bench to help their anthele and please let the coaches do what they need to do. Allow the coaches to take over coaching. Please cheer on you member as much as you can . The bench can get very crowded with too many present. We find when famlies coach from the sidelines they are listening to the parent and not what the coaches. Please refrain as much as you can. I know this is hard. Please allow the athletes to focus on the coaches and the game. Please let me know if you have more questions. I also have several lunch tickets for tomorrow so please ask me for one for your athlete. Bonnie Pautsch-Dyakin GO Tigers Head of Delegation

Hi all I'm down at lunch area of of poly hockey in middle if the room . Meet me here or at 1:30 I'm going down to field 6 where we play

Got it

Got it !! Anthony may be the only other person from our team

No worries... seams like this year they have it during Spring brake and everyone is gone

We are still on for the scrimmage today. But wanted to give everyone a heads up. I had to take my son to work this morning and roads are ice covered . You may want to allow extra time to get to our build. I take a short track to hyvee on Dodd and you can't drive faster then 40 mph. County road 46 is better. I expect with the crazy wind that he had last night that no chemicals are going to work until it warms up a bit.

I have registered Anthony. Who else will come??

I update the above roster. Thanks. If you haven't responded please do so soon

I have a men's large in our bag that was our demo shirt for the goalie. Yes you are correct jerseys are wider for the purpose of going over pads. The shirt are fairly close to size except a little wider

Got it
