MiniMites win Lasker cup!

message from NyICECATS vice president and coach Jamie Lassner

Wow! What a great day Coach Kuci and I had yesterday.  We are so proud of what you accomplished yesterday.  You really were awesome!

Getting up at 515AM (the old 415AM) to come to the rink was really tough.  Guys – if I could have memorable days like yesterday everyday by getting up early – I would get up at 515AM everyday.   Thanks to each one of you, every aspect of yesterday on and off the ice made me and all who know you very proud.  The excitement that you had for a teammate when he shattered a scoring record ( Solomon Freilich of the Mites scored 4 straight goals in less than 53 seconds -it was amazing to witness!) also showed what a great crew you are and the great appreciation you have for the coolest sport in the world! Winning the Mini-Mite Tournament and coming in 3rd in the Mite Tournament were great accomplishments but seeing the heart, sweat and camaraderie of the Team was the highlight.  

I look forward to these wonderful accomplishments being the foundation of many more great accomplishments for each of you on and off the ice.
