Tornados Hockey News: THC - Roger's Update

Q: What sound does a turkey with a limp make?

What am I thankful for?? For another bunch of awesome volunteers to keep the club running!

NEW COMMITTEE ALERT!!!

If you missed it... which certainly a lot of you did, but thanks to the awesome group that did show up to the AGM; then here is the news:

As all the committee and other managing positions received only one nomination per position the club voted unanimously in favour for all nominations and hence we have a new committee.

We would like to take this opportunity again to thank the following for all thier contributions to the club through their time on the committee:

Aditya Trehan
Maxine Chia
Andrew Barnardiston
Alice Hogg &
Charlotte Evans

We are also excited to see a fair amount of the committee members staying on in various roles, hopefully meaning a seamless transition into 2018. Very grateful to the following for their dedication to the Tornados:

Izzy
Phoebe
Lawrence
Ruthie &
Jono

Probably most excitingly we have recruited new talent to the team and look forward to working with them for the year 2018:

Chris Laxton
Brad (returning to the committee)
Susana Matus
Nathan Harwood
Natalia Porporato &
Lauren Windle

Cheers to an excellent team! Looking forward to 2018!

On that note please come on down/up/flat along to the CHRISTMAS PARTY!!! Say hello to your new committee over an overly generous bar tab and chill out in the heat of SG.

It is our last event of the year with training finishing next week until January!!

See you there,
Love Roger

RESULTS

All about INDOOR this week with the ladies having a one day off tournament for their yearly indoor experience.

Last Saturday, 7 ladies tested out their indoor skills in the annual SHF indoor tournament. coming 4th overall following a last minute disallowed goal in the semi-finals vs. Balestier lions to loose 2-1.

We started off surprisingly well considering our indoor skills were so rusty, but sadly went down 0-1 to the eventual winners, SCC. We then got into the groove, drawing the next games vs. Balestier Lions and winning the next 3 games - being the highest scoring team! This took us to the semi-finals where we unfortunately lost.' A good representation from people who had and hadn't played before and a good platform for more indoor in the future.

I've missed a few weekends so I have two write ups for mens indoor from Captain Akhter:

VS Jansenites: Great stuff & solid effort from Tornados to contain top of the league Jansenites at 2-8. Two goals coming in from Dave K & Eric. Some really awesome saves by goalie Leo. Lack of fitness & bench key factors in the loss.

VS Khalsa last weekend: 1-4 loss vs Khalsa. Our scorer Dave K. Good effort but hard luck, missed a few chances & conceded a couple towards tge end.

Ladies finished of LIGA with a lack of players conceding two losses to end their season neck and neck in 7th and 8th position for the second year in a row showing how similar the teams were.
