Fundraising Programs for 2009 - 2010
by posted 06/09/2009
 
Dear JEB members,

Now that tryouts are behind us, I would like welcome you to the 2009-2010 Junior Everblades.  With the incredible turnout we had, this promises to be an exciting season.  As I mentioned in the team meetings during tryouts, I am chairing the Fundraising Committee this year.  We will be setting up sub-committees for various fundraisers.  We will be doing a golf tournament in November.  We will need several people to help coordinate this event. 

Other ideas we will be entertaining this year are:  Honeybaked Ham fundraiser, Silent auctions on-line, 50/50 raffles, JEB night out (restaurant kicks back portion of proceeds), working concessions at the Everblades games, sell JEB parifinalia, poker tournaments, casino nights, candy sales, pizza kit sales.  Please reply to this email if you are interested in participating or have other ideas.  We will need all the help we can get.  
 
I also wanted to take the this opportunity to review the 3 programs we are running through the summer and some ideas that we will be entertaining in the coming year. 
 
The first program is the free oil change certificate for a $10 donation.  These certificates can be purchased from JEB for
$5 and sold for $10.  You pocket the difference and it is up to you to apply it your JEB dues.  The oil changes are from Firestone Master Care and are good nationwide as long as there is a Corporately owned Firestone Master care.  Below is the response from the fundraising representative when asked about the selling the certificates in other states.

Hi Alain, 
Our contract in Florida is with the stores from Citrus County to Lee County along the West Coast of Florida and Central Florida.  We also have contracts in Alabama, GA and TX and they are aware of this specific card as a fundraiser
 
However, since they bear the firestone logo they should be accepted at all the locations listed on www.firestonecompleteautocare.com as those are corporate stores.  My concern is that they would not have seen them and been aware of them
 
So, I would not really sell them to people that were in other areas, but they are generally accepted at any store listed on their website. 
 
I know that’s a bit ambiguous, but I hope it helps. 

 
The second program is the Enjoy the City coupon books.  The books can be can be bought for $6 from JEB and sold for $20.  The books include one free oil change from any local Firestone Master Care, 2 $10 oil changes, $25 in free groceries from Albertson’s (Coupons also accepted by Publix), (4) buy one entree and get one free from Beef O’Brady’s, golf discount coupons and much more.  These have been received very well.  I was able to negotiate the first 300 books at $6 per book.  Once these run out the price may go up to $10 per book to purchase from JEB.  They would still be sold for $20. 
 
Update 6/16/2009 - The Third Program has been cancelled due to delay problems with the vendor.

The third program is from Customer Loyalty International.  It is similar to a manufacturers cash rebate program.  For a donation in varying increments of $10, $20, $25, or $30 they will receive $100 to $600 in free gas and groceries.  You can click on the link below for details.  40% to 50%  of the donations you collect will be put against your JEB dues.  This program will be done on consignment only.  You can pick up the brochures and the order form from JEB.  The program will run in 2 week increments.  I will be at Germain arena for one hour every other Sunday starting June 13th.  I will collect all envelopes and send them into the fundraising company.  The fundraising company will then send a certificate back that will need to be registered on line by your buyer.   The web site will have detailed instructions on how to register the certificate and how to receive the gift cards.  All your customer has to do is collect gas and grocery receipts and mail them in each month.  They will then receive a $25 Visa credit card for the next 4 to 12 months (depending on the donation amount) to use wherever Visa is accepted. 
 
 
For any of these programs, you can email me at or call me at 825-9207 to make arrangements to pick the fundraising materials.
 
Good luck to all. 
Alain Filiault

Training to Win in the Off Season
by Steve Serdachny posted 03/10/2009
 
Training to win in the off season is a very important part of any athlete’s success. There are several important considerations that are age specific when considering athlete development. First and foremost what works for one athlete may not be the perfect scenario for the next athlete. Choosing a positive and meaningful program is the key.

Developing Athletes not just Hockey Players

Hockey is the best sport in the world, however it is very important for players to play other sports and engage in other activities. You want to try to build a better athlete not just a better player. This means there are many physical elements in other sports that can benefit an athlete’s motor skill proficiency. Playing baseball, Golf, Lacrosse, soccer or any other sport for that matter is an excellent option for physical motor development. It allows the body to develop skills that will only train and develop new and proficient neuromuscular patterns but help develop better hand eye coordination, agility, and balance all in a non hockey environment. I strongly encourage the participation in numerous and a big variety of other sports in the off season.

Spring and Summer Hockey

A very popular choice for players and parents is to play spring/summer hockey. There is a really strong feeling that they will not be able to compete or keep up to the others if they do not participate in a summer hockey. Parents may feel the level of play is superior or that coaching will be better. This is not always the norm. Summer All star hockey in fact is very much like a winter league with a different mix of players. There are literally hundreds of organizations and teams for anyone who wants to play. The level of play and skill level is very mixed and quite often at an elite level. It is available for most players with the means to play regardless of elite ability. However, Spring and summer hockey can be a positive experience if you are looking to play some games and travel. It will definitely not hamper your development if you do not play.

The Truth

The truth is players who dedicate themselves to becoming better athletes and people will develop just as fast if not quicker than most. Choosing a wide variety of sports and mixing in a few high end power skating and skills camps to refine and develop your ability is truly the superior choice. They will give you the technical instruction and expertise you need to take it to the next level.

If you actually timed the amount of development including exact ice time during the games you might be surprised at the amount of ice time or rather lack of it when you choose game development. If you wanted to take it a step further you could actually time the amount of interaction with the puck and the actual play. You might be really surprised how limited that time really is. This is a prime example of how a mixed sport off season can feature equivalent ice time and a great mix of other sports in the summer.

Enjoy the summer

Have fun; enjoy yourself in the off season. Participate in a wide range of activities and sports in the summer. You will be a better player and hungry for the upcoming hockey season. Have a great off season.
