2. Team managers are filling in a spreadsheet of player and team player opportuntities for roles at the Womens Worlds.  There's room for everyone to have a role.  
We would like to have that list in good shape by Dec. 28.  We have roles: flag bearers, ice clean up crew, Player of the Game presenters. Something for all kids age U9-U18, reach out to your manager. 
We need whole teams to be paired up with the U18 Worlds teams as "team buddies". Tell your manager you want to be involved.  They have the link to the spreadsheet of roles.
