At this time, Tom Mclean and Michele Gordon from HSM have offered me ice in Chester on Sundays at 5:15-6:15pm starting Nov.19th and weekly thereafter. Mary Jean Verrall and Eastern Shore have offered me ice every 2nd Saturday at 11am in Eastern Shore. If any of you require or want more ice at any time contact me so I can arrange something for you with them. It would be great if we could use these ice times and not lose them -we all know how hard it is to get ice!
 
Let me know if there's anything I or RNS can do to help you during the year. Wishing you all the best with your teams/programs.
 
See you in the rinks,
Alan
