My name is Craig Potvin and I truly appreciate the opportunity to Coach the Major Midget AA team this upcoming season. This will be my 11^th year coaching with the Cumberland Minor Hockey Association.  I have also been a Jr Grads Convenor for the past 3 years and have taken on the roll of Coach Mentor this upcoming season.
 
This year we merge 2002 and 2003 age groups to build our team. All players from both age groups will have an equal opportunity during evaluation to compete for a spot on this hockey team. We will expect dedication, sportsmanship and good work ethic from all players. Although we are nearing the end of minor hockey and the players will all have busy schedules with both school and part time jobs we fully expect that all players will commit to attending all practices and games. I look forward to creating a competitive and fun environment for the players this year and also hope to continue to see them develop as hockey players on the ice and good young adults off the ice.
 
We will be attending the following tournaments:
 
Toronto – Humberview  Oct 10-13
Pittsburgh – Nov 14-17
Kingston – Dec 5-8
Kanata – Jan 3-5
 
This years tryouts are expected to start around the second week of September and will be posted on the website shortly. If anybody has any questions regarding the upcoming season do not hesitate to contact me. craig@sandersonroofing.com
 
Enjoy the remainder of the summer and I will see you at the rink in September.
