As many of you know, our hockey community recently lost one of its biggest supporters and best friends when Bob McGregor died of a heart attack on Sunday, August 10. Bob was well known through his extensive volunteering as a youth inline and ice hockey coach in both Virginia and Maryland. ob left behind his wife, Sandra, and three children, Charles, Robert, and Jamie. All five of them were avid hockey players.
In Bob's honor and memory, Slapshotz and the Sabres are hosting a Bob McGregor Memorial Tournament this Labor Day weekend (August 29-31). Slapshotz will donate the rink time, and referees will volunteer their time as well. All proceeds will go toward the Trust Fund that has been established at Virginia Heartland Bank for Bob's three children.
In addition to youth divisions, the tournament will include several adult divisions (20U, men's, women's, coed, and maybe even an over 40 if there is sufficient interest). The tournament will use block scheduling by division and use fairly short games (e.g., 2-12 minute periods, with a three game minimum), thus allowing the smaller teams. The registration fee will be a donation of $250 to the trust fund.
Additional information can be obtained from Suzanne Smith, at Slapshotz, 540-785-4625, Mark Zinger, at mlzinger@earthlink.net, or Bill Elder, at theelders@comcast.net. You can register your teams directly through Slapshotz, or through Mark or Bill. Please register by August 25, 2003. Checks can be brought to the event and should be made payable to "Sandra L. McGregor in Trust for Robert McGregor".
To volunteer your services as a referee, please contact Joe Rudmann at Toebridge@aol.com.
Feel free to pass this information to others.
