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

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

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????
