Hello NCHLer's. Great start to the season so far. Lots of positive feedback from our development games. Great use of our spare list getting new players on the ice. Some nice, fresh looking jerseys are making their appearance at games. November is upon us and we'd like to kick things off with a bang. As most of you know, November is a time to raise awareness for Men's Health. Our very own treasurer has taken it upon himself and a few Bros to get involved and lead the way with the NCHL's "BROVEMBER CHALLENGE" Here's a few words from our very own Phil " The Thrill" Birrer
The time is coming for this year's BROVEMBER Campaign!
First, I wanted to say thank you for the support over the years, and the positive support for this year!
Last year we raised $4,103 for the Nanaimo and District Hospital Foundation (NDHF) and over $1,900 through Movember (over $6k total raised).
This year I would love to set a goal of $20,000 for the NDHF.
How it works - #MoGoals4MoBros Have players pledge to donate for every team goal raised (#MoGoals4MoBros). For example, players and family from the Thundercocks pledged $5 per goal scored. We scored 21 goals so players donated $105 per player.
Individuals can donate/pledge as much or as little as they choose as this is for charity. Last year Joel the tendy from the Renegades pledged on Goals against...
If we went off last year's numbers of the league scoring 299 goals, at $5/team goal, we would have raised $23,920 just from scoring goals!
