Ashar Hockey gets a call from Israel

The Israeli Hockey Federation announced today that the Israeli National Junior Ice Hockey has decided to accept the invitation of the Ashar Hockey Team and come to Monsey during thier 2007 North American Tour.

The Israeli National Junior Ice Hockey Team comprising of boys 15-18 are scheduled to arrive in Monsey as guests of the Ashar Hockey Team on October 10th, 2007.

The Ashar Hockey Team will sponsor ice time at Sportorama Ice Rink in Monsey for the Israeli team on the morning of October 10th for a team practice.

The Ashar Program has been in contacted with the Student Activities Directors of many of the major Yeshiva elementary schools, high schools and JCC's in the tri state area in order to coordinate a gala reception for the boys of this Israeli Junior team.

On the evening of October 11th at Sportorama Ice Rinks, the plan is to host an Israeli Team Exhibition Game and a post game party in honor of the Israeli Junior Team with the participation of those yeshiva students, the JCC's members and Jewish community at large.

In addition Ashar Hockey will be coordinating a fund raising drive with a goal of donating $10,000 to the Israeli Hockey Federation for program development.

The Israeli Hockey Federation is currently developing the Israeli's Junior Program in an effort to be the State of Israel's first ever hockey team to qualify for Winter Olympic Games.

Many of these boys will soon be protecting the State of Israel on our behalf as they join the Israeli Military. What better way to show these young men that the American Jewish families appreciate their efforts not only defending Israel but representing it as well on the world stage.

Over the next few month the Ashar Hockey Program will be actively looking for sponsors, participants and volunteers to help make October 11th 2007 evening a very special one for the boys of this Israeli Junior Ice Hockey Team.
