Nationals Update (From Saxon Hooper) Here are the FINAL session times for nationals. Please pass on to your members so they can arrange flights etc.. These are locked in and there is no scope for change. There is a massive shortage of ice time in Sydney and Im lucky to get this much time (cancelled hockey games, public & school sessions and ice dancing sessions for me).
Thursday 28th 6:00am -> 12:00pm
Thursday 28th 3:00pm -> Midnight (maybe more if we need, hopefully not)
Friday 29th 6:00am -> 7:30pm
Saturday 30th 5:00pm -> Midnight (maybe more if we need, hopefully not)
Sunday 1st May 7:30am - 10:30am (Finals)
Which means a lunch time presentation starting at 11.30am I guess (kick on at Panthers after for those hanging around).
So far confirmed teams as follows:
NSW - 1 Mens Elite, 2 Mens Intermediate, 2 Womens
SA - 1 Mens Elite, 1 Mens Intermediate, 1 Womens
ACT - 1 Mens Elite, 1 Womens, Working on 1 Mens Intermediate
QLD - 1 Womens, 1 Mens Elite or Mens Intermediate (working on both)
