Lake Erie Panthers Hockey

Hello, Hockey Families -

Thank you and congratulations again to our players, coaches and families on a successful season! The Pepsi Hockey Invitational Tournament in Buffalo this past weekend was a well run event and rewarding experience with great competition. Congratulations to all our teams, who played exceptional all weekend. Our Squirts and Pee Wees made it to the Finals in their respective divisions before coming up short in the championship games. A huge congratulations to our Bantam players, coaches and families who are the 2016 Pepsi Hockey Invitational Bantam Atlantic Champions with a 6-0 drubbing of the Manvers, Ontario Mustangs in the Final. We are extremely proud of the Bantams accomplishments at the event and all season. Great finish to your season with three tournament wins in total. 

On behalf of all board members, please know all of us learned a lot this season, are proud of our program and intend to make our hockey club stronger than ever.

On that note, I want to let you know the board's proposed initiative to update our program's name and brand to the Lake Erie Panthers Hockey Club overwhelmingly passed 51 (for) to 16 (against). Thank you to all those who took the time to vote.

While many are excited about our club's future, we recognize others feel differently. Please know the board plans to discuss a couple of ideas brought to our attention to recognize and keep our Euclid heritage strong, and more details will follow. We also plan to refine and finalize the club logo and colors soon.

Finally, Rick Kish and Mark Garner are finalizing tryout dates for next month, and we will update you soon. Until then, we hope all of the kids have a good spring break, and we will see you soon.

Thank you,
Chuck Langal
