As most of you know, Ralston Arena closed one sheet of ice our very first week for repairs and logo changes. Now, in our second full week of hockey, Motto has closed down for repairs. ope that s enough of that for a season! We have added a new page to web site that you might want to check out. We now have a preferred vendor providing Omaha ockey Club and Junior Lancer logo d clothing at fairly reasonable pricing. What s more, this vendor is kicking back a nice royalty to OC for every garment purchased through the web page. If you place an order before December 15 th, this provider is giving OC $3 for every purchase! Your Board of Directors has ordered that all these royalties be allocated to the OC ardship Fund; a fund to help defray the hockey cost of families of OC in need. ope you can help; Think Christmas present.
