La Crescent Lancer Hockey

I pledge allegiance to the game of hockey, the fastest, hardest, most beautiful game in the world. Hockey is a state of extremes: extreme speed, extreme skill, extreme discipline.

Participation is a privilege extended to the toughest, the smartest, the best. As a member of this elite club, I pledge to uphold its code of honor: I play to win by being the toughest, the smartest, the best.

I play to win by following the rules. I do not play to win by any other means. I take the body to take the puck. I do not hit to hurt. I do not board. I do not cross-check. I do not check from behind. Ever.

When the whistle blows, I stop. When the puck drops, I go. You are right to fear me, because I intend to beat you--not break you. We may wear different jerseys, but we are all on the same team: Jack’s team. We are all hockey players. We all live in the same house.

We are Scorers, Grinders, Stoppers, Playmakers, Superstars. And we are Enforcers--Enforcers of Jack’s Pledge. Play safe. Play smart. Game on.

The hockey association will start collecting Festival Foods and Quillins receipts.  Simply place your receipts in the appropriate box in the lobby at the rink and they will be turned in to earn money for the association.
