| 2008-2009 CLUB ANNOUNCEMENTS.......... |
|
|
|
On behalf of the LA Jr. Kings' Board of Directors I would like to thank all of the parents, players and coaches for another great season. Many of the accomplishments this past year were due in part to the level of commitment and dedication demonstrated by all. The board is very appreciative to all of our Jr. Kings' families of the past five years, that have assisted the club in developing its players, coaches and administrators. This year will mark our second year of partnering with Positive Coaching Alliance (www.positivecoaching.org) in Honoring the Game of hockey and our youth. Once again, the club will be hosting three mandatory seminars (one for coaches, parents, and players new) for the upcoming 2008-2009 season. Details regarding the seminars will be distributed once the season begins.
The Jr. Kings Board of directors are pleased to announce its joint effort with the Toyota Sports Center's in-house Mini-Mite and Squirt B program. The Jr. Kings will be fielding Tournament Select teams from these two in-house programs that will participate in Thanksgiving and Presidents' day Tournaments. Tryouts for these teams will be conducted in October 2008. Details regarding tryouts and tournament locations will be posted on the Jr. Kings web site in September 2008.
Due to the recognition and success of our Tier I program, the Jr. Kings are excited to announce the expansion of its Tier I program. This year the club will be fielding a Peewee Tier I and Bantam Tier I team.

 The Los Angeles Jr. Kings would like to congratulate Jr. Kings Midget Major player Shane McColgan on being selected by the Kelowna Rockets of the WHL. The Rockets selected Shane with their first round draft pick, 13th overall in the 2008 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft. Shane was the only US born player to be selected in the first round.
Rockets President/General Manager Bruce Hamilton had this to say about Shane, “We are really excited to draft Shane, as he is one of the top US born players. We look forward to Shane playing with the Kelowna Rockets in the near future as our scouting staff had him rated as one of the top three players in the draft. Needless to say we are really pleased to have Shane join the Rockets organization.” |

|
|
|
 On behalf of the LA Jr. Kings' Board of directors I would like to congratulate the Mite A team for winning the SCAHA Championships. In true competitive fashion they took control of the Championship game away from their formidable opponent. All season long they battled to get to this game and it is with great pride and admiration that I say thank you to all of the players, coaches and parents for believing in the Jr. Kings philosophy of growing our own talent from within. We believe in taking small steps, one at a time in developing our young athletes into true champions. Congratulations on a great season! We look forward to seeing the team next season as first year Squirts.

| LAJK SQUIRT A1 TEAMS WINS SCAHA CHAMPIONSHIP........ |
|
|
|
 On behalf of the LA Jr. Kings' Board of Directors I would like to congratulate the Squirt A1 team for winning the SCAHA Championships! It has been a remarkable season and journey. This core of young athletes have been on this journey since their days in the Toyota Sports Center in-house Mite program where Coach Tomas Kapusta nurtured their growth to the remarkable young athletes they have become. They fought off adversity, controversy and fatigue to reach their goal as the 2008 SCAHA Squirt A Champions. A special thank you to the parents for believing in their players, their coach and the LA Jr. Kings program where the development of fine athletes is second only to the development of fine citizens.
We are so proud of every single one of you! Best of luck in the CAHA states. Win or lose you are already Champions.
Sincerely,
Rosemary Voulelikas

On behalf of the LA Jr. Kings Board of Directors I would like to thank
all of the volunteers, the Toyota Sports Center staff and management and
the Pacific District Directors who helped out at the tournament. Once

Good luck to all the California teams at nationals!
I also want to thank all of the SCAHA teams (players, coaches and
parents), the Jr. Kings' board members, and the SCAHA directors for a
great SCAHA Championship weekend. Although it was a very busy weekend,
with Toyota Sports Center hosting the SCAHA Championships in conjunction
with the Pacific District Championships, it proved to be a very
successful weekend for all divisons. Good luck to all the SCAHA teams at
states!
Congratulations to the Jr. Kings Mite A and Squirt A1 teams for winning
the SCAHA Championships. We wish you all the best in the CAHA State
championships in Escondido, CA, April 4-6th, 2008.
And finally, to all the teams (players and coaches) at Districts or the

competitive grit and sportsmanship. We thank you for honoring the game
of hockey and our youth!
