AOTHA Members,

Thank you for sticking with us throughout the season of unknowns, we hope that you were able to enjoy what we were able to schedule and play! To say that scheduling ice times was difficult this year is an understatement. I assure you that we did the best we could with all of the worlds unknowns and what was available.

To answer a couple questions that have arisen;

1. Each regular skater will have a balance of $175, and goalies will have a balance of about $60 left from the season as we only played half of the regular scheduled games. We will carry this amount over for next season with $50 to be applied to the yearly registration fees and the remainder to go towards next seasons fees which we anticipate to stay the same unless hourly ice fees increase.
2. Teams carrying over into next season. Interesting idea and we will discuss it at our end of season board meeting in the near future.

As we end this ‘season’ we will soon begin to prepare for the next and we all hope that it is one of normalcy. Again, we thank you all for sticking with us and being understanding as we navigated a myriad of obstacles and unknows throughout the season. We hope everyone has a great summer and look forward to seeing everyone this September.

Brett White

AOTHA Board President

There will be league drop-in on Thursday, April 8th from 6:30p – 8:30p.

With no games scheduled for this week, there will be drop-in from 8:00-10:00pm on Sunday, February 28th.

Welcome back AOTHA!

The schedule is completed and is currently being added to the website. While it is our desire to have the schedule set in stone, please understand that in the age of COVID, this schedule is subject to change quickly. In January, there will most likely be some changes as the college hockey seasons get under way.

Captains will do their best to make you aware of changes as they occur.

The total schedule will be on the website by the end of this weekend, so check back soon for dates and times.

AOTHA Members,

First and most importantly, we hope that everyone has been able to make the best of the last six months of 2020 and that everyone and their families have been well.

We are hopeful for and making plans for an October 4th, 2020 start to the 2020/21 AOTHA season. We do this with the realization that because of various restrictions attributed to the ‘covid pandemic’, there are circumstances out of our control as well as Adrian College’s control, that play major factors in their ability to fully open the rink and our ability to access it.

As we look at all of our options, we see that there are multiple ways that this could all play out. In a perfect scenario, we start our season on the hopeful 10/4/20 start date and play a full season which we are optimistically preparing for. We are also prepared to make adjustments to facilitate any changes that may occur along the way that could affect our season such as; starting earlier, starting later, having a shortened season, playing later into next year, bench and locker room cleaning/sanitizing requirements, etc. etc.

The fact remains that we as well as A/C’s A.I.A. are at the ‘mercy’ of our governor and other governing bodies directly related to a college facility.

As we do look at a hopeful start date of 10/4/20, we have extended the season fee’s due date to September 7th, 2020 at 8:00 a.m. We anticipate conducting the draft soon after that date. In the event that our season game total, as compared to previous years, is shortened all members will be given a pro-rated refund of season dues.

Thank you all for the patience and understanding during this so far and please, let me assure you that we are doing everything with the best interest of the league and its members in mind. We all want to be back on the ice as quickly and safely as possible. As more, definitive information is known it will be passed along through last year’s team captains.

We genuinely look forward to seeing everyone at the rink, hopefully sooner than later!

Brett White, AOTHA BOARD PRESIDENT

Hello AOTHA!

Here are the details for the end of season party:

• WHEN: February 29, 2020 – 8:00pm – 12:30am
• WHERE: Sauk Valley :: 10750 Prospect Hill Hwy., Brooklyn , MI 49230

All AOTHA players plus a date are invited. Music by the Mark Arshak Band will begin at 8:30. Beer, Wine and finger foods will be provided – donations will be accepted.

Neon, Orange, and Gold each won their second game and locked up a spot in the semi-finals.  With one remaining spot, five teams enter the final weekend of games with a chance at securing that last spot.  Reminder, whether your team gets into the semi-finals or is eliminated, stay tuned for a schedule that includes all teams for one more week!  After two weeks of playoffs, here are the standings:

Place	Team	Points	Seed
1	Neon	4	2
2	Orange	4	4
3	Gold	4	6
4	Silver	2	7
5	Teal	2	8
6	Green	2	9
7	Purple	2	10
8	Red	0	1
9	Black	0	3
10	Yellow	0	5

Neon, Orange, and Gold locked up a spot, but their matchups are yet to be determined.  Each and every game coming up has a potential implication, but I will talk about them out of order, in the order of controlling their destiny towards securing that final spot.

In the third game, on 2/9 at 7:30 PM, Silver will face Orange.  Orange can finish anywhere from 1^st to 3^rd, but a Silver win locks them in the 4^th spot.  A tie will mean that a Teal, Green, or Purple victory bumps them out, and losses or ties by those teams leave them in.  Orange leads the season series with a win and a tie.

In the first game, on 2/2 at 8:30 PM, Black will face Teal.  If Teal takes a point more than Silver, they will claim the 4^th spot.  Black swept the regular season series with two wins, but will not be able to reach the semi-finals with the clean sweep.

In the fourth game, on 2/9 at 8:30 PM, Green will face Neon.  Neon can finish anywhere form 1^st to 3^rd, but Green will need a point more than Silver and Teal to claim the 4^th spot.  Neon and Green split the regular season series, each claiming one victory.

In the second game, on 2/2 at 9:30 PM, Red will face Purple.  If Silver, Teal, and Green lose, Red can still get in with a win, owning the tie breaker with everyone.  Purple can get in as well, by getting more points than Silver, Gold, Teal, and Green as well.  Red swept the regular season series with two wins.

The final game of the round is on 2/9, at 9:30 PM, between Yellow and Gold.  Gold can finish anywhere from 1^st to 3^rd, and Yellow will not be able to make these semi-finals.  Gold leads the season series with a win and a tie.
