This year’s tournament drew eight teams: two squads from the Raleigh-based Trailblazers – North Carolina’s decade-old women’s hockey program – as well as the host Charlotte Ice Cats, the Greensboro-based Triad Thunder, the Richmond (Va.) Raptors, the Atlanta (Ga.) Lady Thrashers and two teams from South Carolina: the Hot Flash and the Charleston Lady Rays.
Hello everyone, I am hockey cat’s newest correspondent. I hope to keep you all well informed about local hockey events. For my first assignment, I ventured out to the Raleigh Reczone where I was to observe a Carolina Hurricane’s practice.
We need to replace our dasher boards when we close for annual maintenance next April/May. This project will cost $100,000. We have received $25,000 grants from two area foundations, The George Preston Marshall Fund and the Philip L. Graham Fund. However, we must match these grants by raising an additional $50,000 from individual and corporate donors.
Please help by making a tax deductible donation.
