The Ashar Hockey Team boarded the luxury bus today after dismissal heading into Manhattan as the special guests of the Disney Company and ESPN.

After a quick dinner the team was greeted by management and welcomed at New York's ESPNzone. Each one of Ashar Hockey's 30 team members from this season and last were given a $120.00 game card courtesy of the Disney Company and various gifts from our ESPN Sponsors.

For the next 2 and a half hours the ASHAR team did its best to have one of our team members listed as "high scorer" on all the arcade games on ESPNzone's 20,000 square foot gaming floor.

We have many gifted athletes on our team obviously. Virtual baseball, boxing, tennis, soccer, football, basketball, horse racing even fishing and skeet shooting. All no match for our kids. ESPNzone staff had a hard time keeping up with the drinks needed to keep the boys hydrated.

What a great time we had. Another highlight to another memorable season of the ASHAR Hockey Program.

After all the sports, Ashar Hockey's end of season awards ceremony.

This season's most valuable player trophies awarded to
..... every member of the team. And, they all deserved it.

Along with the individual MVP trophies given to each player, some other assorted gifts from our ESPN sponsor.

Special thanks to all who supported Ashar Hockey this season. Both on the playing surface and in our charitable efforts.

A really big debt of gratitude to all our sponsors and to the parents who helped make this memorable Playoff Championship and charitable season possible.

Of course thanks to David Katznelson who once again handled all the really hard stuff ........ and left us nothing but fun.

Please visit our mid season video page here for a listing of our 2007 sponsors.

Pictures from our ESPNzone experience and our end of season video will be posted to the site in a few days.
