Fan Mail #6  

January 5th, 2001

Welcome to the Husky Hockey Fan Email! This email will be sent out approximately once a week with news and information about the Husky Hockey team. If you would like to be removed from this list, please rely with “remove” in the subject line.

Welcome Back!
The Huskies start the New Year by hosting the UCLA Bruins on Saturday and Sunday nights at 9:30pm and 6:45pm, January 6th and 7th. These games are especially important in the PAC-8 ranking, with the Huskies currently in 2nd place and UCLA in 3rd place. With two wins against UCLA, the Huskies most likely will see the Bruins again during the PAC-8 championship in Eugene, OR.

Also, please note that Sunday night’s game is dedicated to youth hockey in the Seattle area, honoring SnoKing Ice Hockey. Dropping the ceremonial puck is a representative from the organization. All youth players get in for $3. Welcome SnoKing Hockey!

Rankings!
The Huskies are currently ranked 2nd in the PAC-8 right behind USC. The Huskies are also ranked 10th in the ACHA-West, right behind Oregon, despite beating them twice, 5-3 and 4-1. Oregon is also ahead of UCLA in the rankings, even after losing to the Bruins twice this year.

The Following Weekend!
The Huskies play Stanford on January 12th and 13th at 10pm and 9:30pm. The Dawgs beat the Crimson twice, 8-2 and 9-1, in California and look forward to taking two more wins at home to seal their place in the PAC-8 rankings. These are the second and third to last home games of the season!

Athletic Awards I-5 Cup
The Husky Hockey team is geared up for the inaugural "Athletic Awards I-5 Cup" Championship between the Huskies and the University of Oregon Ducks.

What’s New?!
Husky Hockey is excited to announce the completion of the 2000-2001 game programs! After months of searching  for a print-house to donate their services, Printex Press offered to create the program along with Image East, of Bellevue, Washington. Over 700 copies of the 20-page program were printed and will be available for free at the main gate at home games! Thanks Printex Press and Image East! For all your printing needs, work with Printex Press and tell them Husky Hockey sent you!

Volunteers!
Husky Hockey always needs volunteers. If you would like to donate a couple of hours per week, we would love your help. The main areas we have challenges with are 1. fundraising and 2. recruiting. These jobs can be done from near and far… so don’t let distance stop you! So, if you have the interest, we would love the help. Also, if you enjoy public relations, running the clock, keeping score, working the penalty bench, selling retail, or whatever… we always need the help. Just write to zoeharris@yahoo.com and she will set you up.

Support!
Thanks for all the wonderful people who donating are to Husky Hockey. We appreciate your well-wished and financial support. Without you, Husky Hockey would not be here!

Husky Hockey Activists! You can help us!
Husky Hockey is trying to get their web site linked from the main University of Washington Sports pages called http://www.GoHuskies.com because so many fans and recruits say they have a hard time finding us buried in the Recreational Sports Department listings. The team has been told that only varsity schedules are posted there and we have tried to suggest a small link to our site in the SportsFinder page (http://gohuskies.fansonly.com/wash-s-finder.html) with “non-varsity” listed next to it. Help Husky Hockey by writing to the to Jim Daves, Assistant Athletic Director for Media Relations, at jdaves@u.washington.edu and kindly suggest that you like to see us listed on the SportsFinder page!
