Here’s a little something to keep the momentum going. Not that the players will need it, looking at the results so far this year!
Coaches are to submit the name of 1 player they deem to be player of the week, along with a short explanation for the choice. This should be done via email to: socialrichmondravens@gmail.com before 11pm each Sunday (Jan. 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th ) for the month of January.
Each week those names will be entered in a random draw for the following prize package:
1) A gift certificate to the Stanley's for the player.
2) A gift certificate for a Marble Slab cake for the team.
The winning player’s name, team, and reason for nomination will be posted on the website and the prize will be delivered to the player’s manager.
Good luck to all nominees,
The Social Committee.

When the Richmond Ravens Midget C1 team ventured to Langley over the holidays to participate in the Angels-On-Ice hockey tournament, they did so not to promote peace-on-earth and good-will amongst men, they did so to play fast, play fair and play hard.
After dropping their first game 2-0 to a motivated host team, the black birds vanquished 3 consecutive foes by a combined 10-1 score enroute to the final. In the final, the Ravens attacked with an offense reminiscent of the 80's Oilers, defended with a blue-line that made NORAD look like a chorus-line and exhibited Luongo-like goaltending without the big-league salary and minor-league gaffes. The Raven's collective effort in the final resulted in a 6-1 victory over a very game host squad and had the local beat-writers scrambling for superlatives to chronicle the team's performance.
The C1 front-office would like to thank all players and parents for ensuring the team had all-hands-on-deck for all games (the occasional game-ejection notwithstanding:), an admirable achievement given the location of the tournament and the time of year. Full roster participation was a significant factor in the team's success. 2011 was kind to the flock and with comparable effort and participation in 2012 the Raven's are optimistic that further success, however it be measured, is attainable.

On December 23rd, over 30 players, representing the Richmond Ravens Midget AA team and the Devils Alumni, faced off in the 3rd Annual Alumni hockey game in support of the Richmond Food Bank.
This annual well-attended event matches up new players with former Ravens to keep the family tradition going. The high-scoring game featured numerous penalty shots and a call for a stick measurement, much to everyone’s amusement.
Midget AA Ravens Alisha Wong and Hannah Coates delivered the donated food and cash to a grateful Richmond Food Bank on Christmas Eve. The Food bank helps over 530 local households a week meet basic nutritional needs.The Ravens association actively promotes community participation with the aim of developing its players into the leaders of tomorrow.

Richmond Ravens Pee Wee AA Team Wins Prestigious Kamloops Tournament
The Richmond Ravens Pee Wee AA team capped an outstanding weekend by capturing the Kamloops Female Pee Wee AA Tournament Championship trophy with a convincing 8-0 win over the Prince George Cougars. Richmond started the tournament slowly, coming off the bus and onto unfamiliar Olympic Size ice, where they lost a heartbreaking opening game 4-3 to the host Kamloops Mystix Blazers. Kamloops scored off a deflection with 34 seconds left to secure the win. It would be the last goal scored against the Ravens in the tournament.
The Ravens rebounded the next day to defeat Tri Cities Predators 7-0, which set up a must win round robin game against the undefeated Cougars. The Ravens came out on top with a 9-0 victory. The Ravens and Cougars tied for first in the Round Robin, setting up a rematch in the final.
“Our girls kept getting stronger as the tournament progressed,” stated Ravens Co-Head Coach Tony Lindsay. “ The games were 60 minutes and we were absolutely relentless. We flat out wore teams out, outscoring the opposition 16-1 in the third periods. I am very proud that it was a complete team effort. All the girls contributed.”
Goaltenders Jenna Ehling and Lauren Dagenais each posted shutouts in the tournament and were supported by a stout defence of Eliane McJunkin, Lauryn Murray, Hannah Green, Kate Reilly and Meg Randall. The line of Nicole White, Lauren Howlett, and Karina Lannard was the highest scoring line in the tournament. Hannah Shihundu, Nicole Wong, and Sidney Parker contributed with timely goals and great forechecking. The line of Sierra Shikaze, Kyra Kuramoto, and Cameron Sihoe was dominant every shift and Elena Lindsay supported well.
The tournament was a great step as the Ravens continue climbing the mountain in preparation for hosting the Provincial Championships in March. They now return to league play, where the Ravens are currently undefeated.

The Ravens are getting into the spirit of the season by helping out the less fortunate in our communities.
Referee-in-Chief Casey Rodusek will be donating a month’s worth of referee earnings to Hockey For The Homeless, a Canada-wide organization that raises funds through hockey tournaments to find solutions for people living on the streets. The Vancouver tournament takes place November 25th at the UBC Thunderbird Arena and will feature former Vancouver Canucks in the team rosters. You can help Casey reach her goal of $1,000 by donating at this web address.
And the Bantam AA team made a surprise visit to the Richmond Auto Mall recently to help paint dealership windows promoting the Richmond Christmas Fund. The Fund has been operating for over 40 years and supports families in need with toys, gifts and grocery vouchers during the holiday season. If you are interested in supporting the Christmas Fund, click here to see the online brochure.
Once again, our Ravens are showing what it takes to be leaders in the community. Way to go girls!

Cyclone Taylor - Season Skate Sharpening Pass - Fundraiser for the Richmond Ravens
Cyclone Taylor (Richmond Ice Centre) is pleased to announce an exciting fundraising opportunity for the Richmond Ravens. They are offering a Full Seasons Skate Sharpening Pass to our Association for $49.99 plus tax beginning today until March 31st, 2012. This provides you with unlimited skate sharpening at any Cyclone Taylor between those months. The Association will receive $5.00 for every season pass sold to a Richmond Ravens player.
How it Works:
When you purchase your seasons pass, please advise the employee that you are from the Richmond Ravens. They will have a separate SKU set up for our Association so they can determine how many were sold to us. You will be given a sticker at the time of purchase that they will put on the bottom of your skates that determines you have a seasons pass.
A single sharpening at any of the Cyclone Taylor locations is $5.00 per sharpening, so depending on how many times you get your skates sharpened per week, it definitely saves you money down the road. This also saves you from waiting in a line to pay each time as you just show one of the employees the sticker on the bottom of your skates and you are on your way.
