SMHA Parents, Players and Prospectives -
SMHA家长，球员和准球员：

I’m sure that those that were able to participate in the Greater Shanghai Open Hockey sessions we conducted with our Feiyang partners last weekend would agree that they provided a glimpse of both the possibilities at hand, as well as some of the challenges that will need to be overcome as we work together to implement a grander vision of minor hockey in Shanghai.
我相信如果您上周末参加了我们与合作伙伴，飞扬，共同举办的上海冰球公开课，您一定已体验到是次活动已为我们在共同推动上海少年冰球运动上，提供了触手可及的机会。同时我们也看到更多的挑战需要克服。

Overall the weekend was a success by many measures, but especially in the most important measure - smiles. Smiles as old friendships were rekindled following a long summer break, smiles as summer hockey camp experiences and equipment purchases were excitedly shared, smiles as we welcomed new players and families to our hockey fraternity, and smiles as former rivals lined up on the same side of the red line for the first time!
上周末的活动在各个层面都很成功，特别是最重要的一个层面——笑容。长久的友谊在漫长暑假后被重新点燃时的笑容；与人欣喜分享参加冰球夏令营及新购设备的笑容；欢迎新加入的球员及家庭时的笑容以及与昔日对手首次站并肩作赛的笑容。

At this point we would like to provide some additional information –
基于此，我们在此向您提供以下信息：

Dear Members,

While I’m sure we’re all wondering ‘where did the summer go!?’, we can take solace in knowing that very shortly we
will be back at the rink together.

The STMHA Executive have been busy working with our new Fei Yang partners and as we approach the beginning of
the 2013 season we want to bring you up to speed on the planning completed thus far on personnel, schedule, registration fees and next steps.
