Jr. Hurricanes Prepare for 2008-09

           

            The Space Coast Jr. Hurricanes are setting up for their second season in the Continental Hockey Association (CHA).  With the conclusion of the annual meeting and the schedule in place, the Jr. Hurricanes are very excited about the upcoming season.

 

            The Hurricanes look to kick off the season with their very own Labor Day Tournament at the Iceplex in Rockledge, FL.  This will be an eight team round robin tournament with teams from across the southeast.  They will also be hosting a “meet and greet the players gathering” for their fans and members of the booster club sometime in September.  Those details will be available shortly.

 

            The Jr. Hurricanes home opener will be against the Atlanta Knights Jr. B Team on Saturday September 27th at 4:45pm and will return again on Sunday September 28th against the Knights at 11:00am.  “We had a great first year and to make it to the finals of the CHA as a first year team was unbelievable.  We came within one game of making it to the Jr. B National and the boy’s deserve all the credit and I am very proud of them,” say’s GM / Head Coach Shawn Ray.

 

            The 2008-09 schedules will be posted very soon, but in the meantime, the Jr. Hurricanes are still preparing the season with several different spring and summer tournaments.  The next tournament will be the Hub Cup Tournament in Bridgewater, MA when the Hurricanes spring team (JETS) looks to win the Midget Hub Cup, just like they did last year when they won the Bantam Minor.
