YALE HOCKEY SPRING 2017 / NEWS
From the Association Dear Alumni and Friends of Yale Hockey, It’s hard to believe another season has come and gone! Thank you to everyone who came back to New Haven this winter for the Men’s and Women’s Alumni Days. It was great to reconnect with fellow teammates, friends, and coaches, and we are hoping to have an even greater turnout next year. The Yale Hockey Association has much to celebrate and to be excited about. However, events are not our only roles and responsibilities. The key goal of the association is to support Yale Hockey and engage with alumni and friends and try to build meaningful relationships with the program. While the most obvious aspect of that goal is fundraising (more on that below) there are a number of other initiatives underway that help to strengthen the program. One of these initiatives is our mentoring committee, aimed at helping current players with job placement, interview and resume skills, and career advice. We also have committees on communications and events, and welcome new members who are interested in being engaged with Yale Hockey. If you have interest in joining a committee or getting involved in any way, please e-mail me at brookscs@gmail.com.
The work of the Yale Hockey Association provides crucial support for Keith, UK, and all of the student-athletes who comprise the excellent programs we have all come to know. The funds raised go to the most critical needs of our teams. Namely, travel for games and scrimmages, team equipment, and recruiting the next generation of All-Ivy and All-American players. We need your help. No gift is too small. Every dollar counts. There are multiple ways to show your support. Write a check payable to Yale University and mail it to Yale Hockey Association, P.O. Box 1844, New Haven, CT 06508-1844. Or, visit http://giving.yale.edu to pay by credit card and be sure to select ‘Athletics’ and ‘Hockey’ from the drop down menus. And remember, all gifts to the YHA count towards your personal and class giving totals for your next reunion! Thank you for your continued support, Chris Brooks ‘06 Yale Hockey Association President
