First off, thank you everyone for being patient with us as we navigate through the unexpected events that have occurred at Wachter, causing us to move everything from that rink.

At this time, we have made several changes to games, practices and other events that were scheduled at all of our rinks.  Please check the calendar for your team and make sure you know what those changes are.  There is a possibility that other changes could occur so keep a close eye on the calendar throughout the week.

We were able to keep the same number of practices for the kids throughout the week, although we did need to utilize every second of ice time available to make this happen.  This means some larger groups on the ice at one time, 6:00 a.m. practices for older groups, some later practices for younger groups, cancelling goalie practice, and some creative thinking to make sure everyone still gets their practices in.

Most games were able to be kept on the schedule but we did need to move the games around a bit.  Please make sure you take note of the changed game times.  Some of our Bismarck versus Bismarck games were cancelled and we will be looking to reschedule those very soon.

As you will notice, the weekend schedule had to change significantly, as we are hosting the Squirt A and Squirt B1 tournament this weekend and those games took precedence over some of our practice and game times.  Unfortunately, the Termites were not able to keep any ice time for this upcoming weekend so we will try to get an extra game in for those kids when time allows for it.

As mentioned in our previous email, we share the ice with many different users in our community so this did not only effect our club but other organizations as well.  With that being said, some of those organizations needed to keep their high school practices and games and their ice times got moved to other rinks, which caused our organization to lose some important ice times.  The ice schedule has been altered significantly and it took a whole crew of us to make changes that would still benefit our hockey players and our organization.  However, that doesn't mean we are free from error.  If you see something that may seem off or notice an error, please let us know right away.

Again, thank you for your patience and understanding during this.  We are hopeful we will get back to our normal ice schedule soon.

Thank you to everyone who came out and participated in the Skate with the Patriots day!  It was a fun-filled events and it is always great to see some of our past BHB players helping out the new BHB players on the ice!

Our hearts are heavy as we learn about a tragic accident that involved one of our former BHB players, whose family has spent many hours at our rinks and donated so much time to help BHB over the years.  We will continue to send well wishes to Jacob and his family and we will pray for his continued recovery.

If you can take a moment to keep this family in your hearts and say some extra prayers, it would be appreciated.

And if you are able to donate to help take a burden off of the family, I know they would appreciate that, too.  A Go Fund Me account has been set up here and they also have an account set up at Kirkwood Bank.

Congratulations to all who have completed our Dirty Dangler Challenge and/or our 10,000 Puck Challenge.  Keep up the hard work!
