Lisa Francioli Scholarship 

Lisa Francioli - June 8, 1967 - March 23, 2011
In the early hours of Wednesday March 23, 2011, Lisa Francioli passed away. Lisa was an amazing person, Mother, Wife, Friend, Volunteer, Governor and President who will be sorely missed.  Lisa was our Peewee Senior Governor last season and continued to help and support us with the new 1660 Hockey League.  On February 2^nd, 2011 she informed us that she had to step down as her illness had returned.  In true Lisa form, she was more concerned with letting us down and the other people around her, than she was about herself.  A true inspiration to those she came into contact with!  In one of her final emails to the league she stated to us:
“please take a lesson from me - there are more important things than hockey and as long as you have your priorities right you'll have no regrets”
Today, we are sure that there are no regrets, and maybe we all could learn from this great "life" advice.  Her contributions to this league and keeping this league together years ago will have an impact on us forever and never be forgotten!
Our thoughts and prayers remain with her family today and always!

At the 2011 annual general meeting the 1660 hockey league passed a motion to create the Lisa Francioli sportsmanship scholarship.

Hello Teams and Governors,

Could you please ensure that ALL games and entered in to the website.  There are still a number of games that have not been entered and therefore we do not know who won some of the series. The 1660 league uses this information to compile the season statistics for all 38 associations at the AGM.

Please ensure that this is done ASAP so that we don't have to start calling to get this done.  If you have any questions you may email viceschedule@1660.ab.ca.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Even though you think it may not be necessary, please remember to have ALL  GAME SHEETS entered in the website and faxed to your Governor ASAP.  All stats get summarized for the AGM!

We just want to thank all coaches, volunteers, and association representatives for another great season.  Congratulations to all the division winners to all the teams that competed to the best of their ability.  As we all should know by now, the success of any minor hockey season should NEVER be measured by the win/loss column alone.

In addition, a special thanks to all the league volunteers (Governors, Senior Governors, Discipline Coordinator, and Executive) for their many, many hours of volunteer time.  Without these people we could not be a league, and simply would not be successful.  We all owe these great individuals our sincere appreciation. Please take the time to let them know how much we ALL appreciated their time and commitment.  Maybe, just maybe, they will return to HELP again next year!!

Have a great summer and see you all in the Fall!

Hello League,

This is a simple reminder that Daylight Savings Time begins this Sunday March 11th.  Therefore, remember to spring your clocks ahead on Saturday night in order to make sure that no one misses the first couple of periods of their playoff game.  Of course many parents do not get these league emails so be sure to remind your team.

Good Luck to all teams this weekend.

Thanks,

1660 Hockey League

Hello Everyone,

As some of you already know, we are STILL waiting for game sheets to be entered in to the website.  We emphasised this at the start of playoff and it is now affecting teams ability to schedule the next round.  We expect both the scores and the gamesheet to be entered for each playoff game and governors should not have to chase these down.

PLEASE get this done without delay.  We are recieving the negative calls and it is simply is not fair to the rest.

Thank you for your cooperation!
