    President’s

    Thoughts By Vicki Silva

    Yes, it’s summer, the NHL began the march towards the Stanley Cup, back on Aug. 1st. Not sure how we did as I write the words. At this point I am still not sure about our season, when and where we will start. But I can’t wait until I am sitting in my seat at the arena, cheering on our boys. I see very positive signs, as we have signed a few new players. I also notice that other teams are lining up their players. I can’t wait until the ice is down. That would make me very happy. I truly hope that you spent the summer free from illness and have gotten ready for the season to start. I can’t wait until we get together for our meetings and or welcoming banquet. I really miss seeing

    you all. Because of the ongoing threat of COVID 19 virus most of the AHL hockey operations have slowed down to a trickle, but as soon as it gets back to normal, I am there

    Let’s Go Pens!!!!

    Trip Report: By Stew Thomas

    As everyone is well

    aware, due to the abrupt

    cancellation of the hockey

    season, the trips to Hershey

    and Hartford were cancelled.

    As the board has been unable

    to meet refunds will be sent

    out as soon as we can. If you

    paid by check or credit card

    and it hasn’t been cashed or

    charged to your account, it

    will not be. If you paid

    Let’s Go Pens!!!!

    Trip Report: By Stew Thomas

    Due to the pandemic, it is

    difficult to determine what this

    season will bring us. Will we

    be watching games from home

    or will we be back in the

    arena? Hopefully, before the

    season is over we will be back

    in full force. Once back, we

    will determine a travel

    schedule, and decide if it is

    possible to fulfill. Let’s hope

    that things will return to

    normal in the near future!

    For those people that paid

    the balance for the cancelled

    convention, I can either return

    your check or void and

    destroy it. I will wait two

    weeks after the newsletter

    comes out. At that point, if I

    have not heard from you , I

    will destroy your checks.

    Let’s Go Pens!!!!

    There seems to

    be no problem

    with social

    distancing at

    the Mohegan

    Sun Arena. We

    sure do miss

    being there and

    seeing all of our

    Hockey

    Buddies. Lets

    hope that in the

    not too distant

    future we will

    be there in our

    seats again????
