Being the manager of a house league hockey team requires a
lot more than just showing up at the rink and cheering in the stands. For
"Shawn" Mealey, shown in the centre, it also means organizing
fund-raising events to help pay for some of the tournaments the club is
scheduled to enter this year.
On Saturday, December 10, 2005, Shawn spent a great deal of time at the
Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre - not shopping, but supervising players
during a special "Tag Day" at the mall. Pictured with Shawn
were, on the left, Kody Bodson, and on the right, Shawn's son, David
Mealey.
Her team, sponsored by Desjardins' Food Basics, is enjoying a great
year both on and off the ice. They play an average of one game and one
practice per week. With all of the playoff and tournament contests
included, they will play somewhere between 40 and 50 games during the
entire season. Coach of the team is Tom Sbrega.
