Blue Note Cup Games
If you are working Blue Note Cup games this weekend at Centene (2/26/2021-2/28/2021) you will be required to provide your name to the security guard at the rink door in order to enter the rink. Please plan on leaving 10 to 15 minute earlier than normal just in case you have any issues. If you do have any issues, please have security contact the tournament office. Several other Board members will be present the entire weekend.

Bill McKenna Scholarship Fund
The MIHOA Membership has been a key supporter of The Bill McKenna Memorial Scholarship Foundation. This crazy year (to say the least) has left us without a vehicle to allow MIHOA Members to donate a game fee and “Skate a Game for Bill” - until now. Here is a link that you can use to access a donation page that can easily be filled out to tell us what game fee you would like to donate to the Foundation.
https://www.mckennascholarship.com/donate
The Foundation does plan on having a Golf Tournament this year and hopefully the Tim Peel Camp will also exist to help raise funds. We did award scholarships to 5 individuals and could again use your help to allow us to award funds this season.
I appreciate the heartfelt support MIHOA Members have given in the past to the McKenna Foundation. This program is unique to ice hockey referees and demonstrates a commitment to our young officials that we do care about their futures.
As always, thank you so much for your continued support!
