FIRST ANNUAL SHOREWOOD INVITATIONAL "SQUIRT" HOCKEY TOURNAMENT
Mssrs. Tom Ri Pat Hanily, and Mike D6 di petitioned the Park Commission
fcr permission to hold the First Annual Shorewood Invitational Squirt Hockey
Tournament on Saturday, February 7, 8:00 A.M. - 5:00 P.M., and Sunday, February 8,
Noon to 5:00 P.M., at Badger Park.
The Squirts are non - travelling hockey teams and consist of children in the
nine- and ten -year old age group.
The purpose of the Tournament is non -profit in nature and is not in competition
against Minnetonka Youth Hockey Association. It is formed in the hopes of
reaching Squirts who normally would not have opportunity to participate in
tournaments and thereby can be given recognition in their respective communities.
Due to the cost and time elements, this Tournament is to have a limit of up to
18 teams, drawn from eight communities: namely, Boulder Creek, Cathcart,
Cottagewood, Covington, Deephaven, Scenic Heights, Somerset Knolls, and Tonka Bay.
Each child participating would receive an award or trophy. The cost would be
$15.00 per team.
The Tournament will be financed through sponsors who donate their time and money.
Already there have been donations of bakery goods, pop, hot dogs, newspaper
advertising, and cash from various businesses, as well as volunteers for main-
tenance and clean -up crews. There will be about 50 more merchants contacted
for donations.
Mssrs. Muehlberg, Hanily, and DeLadi wish to use Badger Park because of its
excellent facilities - -ice rink, space for concession stands, parking lot, and
warming house.
The Park Commission generally agreed that the Tournament was a good thing, but
expressed concerns over medical coverage, liability insurance, and fire protection.
