Face-Off Against Cancer

Posted by coach Published in Hockey, Misc., Newz, Tweets

Dear fellow (fella) hockey players, family and fans,

Our good friend Shane Chipp, a hockey player, hockey coach, and hockey dad was recently diagnosed with a rare and difficult to treat cancer. I’ve taken it upon myself and have organized a fundraising benefit hockey game and developed a website where we can show our support financially.

Black vs. White Game

We need up to eighteen player volunteers, each paying $20.00, to fill two teams for the Face-Off for Cancer Black vs. White game. Player families, fans and guests would be asked to pay a minimum ten dollar admission. Our hope is to raise several thousand dollars to help the family.

Game Date: Saturday April 16th
Game Time: 6:45 PM
Location: NoCo Ice Center

Game Player Registration

1.) Register via the website: http://shanechipp.com
2.) Contact Sara (NoCo) in person or via email: sarah@ncyh.org

Shane is currently living in California with his sister, which is close by a special facility that can provide laser treatments. Back here in Fort Collins, Shane’s wife Robin is working, tackling the usual daily chores involved with raising kids (Jason age 18 & Jessica age 4) and maintaining the family household. Robin gives great credit to her son Jason for the help he has been able to provide, especially with his sister Jessica. Jessica just started Cub Hockey, pretty cute.

Shane and his family could use a little help with day to day items such as food, bills and gas for the car. I”m asking that you make a reasonable donation as you are able and help out in the Chipp family’s time of need.

How to Donate

1.) Use the website: http://shanechipp.com
2.) Get a hold of Flash: (970) 690-1356
3.) Directly to the Chipps:

The Shane Chipp Family
4208 Mesa View Ct.
Fort Collins, CO 80526

Many hockey players, families and fans may know Shane from his involvement in coaching NCYH recreational teams, the Rocky Mountain High JV hockey teams, or from his own playing in the adult leagues at NoCo Ice Center as well as the Fort Collins Adult Hockey Association out of the EPIC facility.

Additionally, Shane spent most weekends involved with the Fort Collins Raptor program.

TIA
(Thanks In Advance – for you non techies)

Timur is the go-to player when TV station KSBY needed an interview. Upon the upgrading of Santa Rosa Park’s roller hockey rink in San Luis Obispo, CA, the local TV station came out and reported on the re-furbished rink and weekend celebratory tournament. Timur Mertogul got the call to do the on camera interview:

Fort Collins Lambkins Hockey :: 2010 HPL Champs

Posted by coach Published in High School Hockey, Misc., Newz, Tweets

After a politically rocky start to the high school hockey season, this talented team of individuals came together under the supervision of coaches, Jon, Jen and Clayton to be the powerhouse team of the High Plain Hockey League. The Lambkins, or ‘Baby Sheep’ bested all comers and finished the season in the number one position.

Other teams were shaking in their hockey boots as the end of season tournament loomed. The Baby Sheep knocked off the Cheery Creek team and set their sights on the eventual winners of the Grandview Wolves vs. North Central Hawks. At the end of the day it was the Grandview Hawks who had earned there way into the championship game.

These two teams had seen each other twice before. The first meeting ended in a score of 5-0 in favor of Fort Collins. The second meeting was not so fortunate for the Lambkins as they were defeated with a score of 1-2 on April 11th, 2010. Close to one month later these two hockey powerhouses would be able to finally settle up and determine who has the best club.
