AUGUST RENEWAL EMAIL

Paul,

 

About this time we like to send out feedback about our members. Sam has done really well this training season. He’s used the program exactly how you are supposed to use it; working out a lot and skating a good amount. The reason he moved up, was because he did everything we asked of him. Always listening and playing the game the right way. His hockey IQ is off the charts. He sees plays all over the ice. I personally think if he keeps up the fine tuning of skills and just as important working out he has the potential to do some great things in hockey starting in HS and beyond. Thanks again for allowing Sam to work with us and can’t wait to see him play this year.

 

Lastly, I wanted to let you know that our early registration is now open for the 2020 MAP season.  If you register in the month of August the price is $2995 for returning members.  Also, if you register now you are able to set up a 12 monthly payment plan with the amount being $249.58; otherwise you can pay in full and save an additional $100. 

 

However, if you would like to register but don’t want to pay it all now or want to start your payments at a later date we do offer a registration which will only take an initial deposit of $450.  This will lock you in at the lower rate and allow you to start payment at a later date (Dec/Jan/Feb). Simply let me know this is what you want to do and I will email you the registration link.

 

I highly encourage you to register as early as possible so you can reserve a spot and your savings can reach over $500 by January.  We would love the chance to work with Sam again next off-season.

I know that there are a lot of emails that come through during this time so we wanted to make sure to look out for our Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal. Year 2 at Plymouth is shaping up to be a good one as we already have more talent committed and more applications rolling through.

EMAIL TO PARENT AFTER WATCHING HIS KID

Paul,

 

It was nice meeting you last night. And it was fun to watch all the OMGHA boys play. I thought Joey played very well last night. His line of Westphal and Moses worked really well together. Hard on pucks, using good angles and working together to create turnover. Joey did a great job of being good support for his linemates in the middle and distributing the puck. Another thing I loved was his crashing the net. For me it’s fun to train the players but to see them do the little things in games is even better. I hope we will have the opportunity to work with Joey again this next off-season. I look forward to watching another game later this season.

 

Thanks,

 

Garrett
