Mission Arizona Ice has been invited to the Chicago Fury/Team Illinois AAA Mid-West Showcase to be held May 10th-11th!!
|
Nick Pollos, Chicago Fury Midget Major Head Coach, contacted Becky Taylor to personally invite Mission to participate in the U18 division. He told Taylor that "we all discussed it and feel that Mission really impressed us in October." Even though our 18 team had a 0-4 record, he continued with, "your coach Jeremy and your players never gave up and remained competitive throughout the tournament. We would love the opportunity to help your organization". Coach Goltz will select 20 players to travel to Chicago.
Coach reponded in his ever-present enthusiastic tone "we will be competing against top programs in the country. What makes this so special is that at traditional camps kids are placed on different teams and have no idea who they are playing with. This is an unreal exposure opportunity and the guys will be playing with all familiar faces...I cannot say enough how truly lucky we are to get this opportunity..."
Next season, Mission's 18 Tier team has again been invited to the Chicago Fury Fall Tournament and Mission's 16 Tier team is in the mix for Nike Bauer Fall Invitational. Mission is firmly planted on the USA Hockey map.
