SASA Mission Statement
To provide a fun, safe, competitive environment that allows not only each child to grow and develop into the best hockey player they can be, but the best person they can be. This is to be done by learning teamwork, camarderie, sportsmanship, dedication, and having respect for the game, coaches, officials, and parents who help serve our hockey community.
The first is a benefit hockey game where the SASA Coaches will play the Vermont Law Enforcers at 2:00 on Feb 27th at the complex. $2 donations will be accepted at the door, free for children under 12.
The second is a Dinner / Dance that will be held at the Knights of Columbus that evening. Cocktails at 6:30. Dinner by Bob Santini at 7:30. Music provided by local band, Damage Control. Cost - $25/person. Contact one of the board members to purchase tickets.
Raffle will be open at both the game and dinner.
We are currently looking for three things from you:
1. Volunteers to work the game. We will have admission, raffle, chuck a puck, 50/50, timekeeper, etc..
2. Volunteers to help with all aspects of promoting the games and dinner/dance as well as the running of the dinner/dance.
3. Donations for our raffle which will be held throughout the day at both events. Each of you has contacts that some of us do not even know about and the more donations we get the more money we raise. SASA is a 503C organization so all donations are tax deductible and 50% of the money which we raise from the charity game will be going back to a law enforcement agency (most likely COPS which benefits families of Vermont Officers Killed in the Line of Duty).
Fundraisers like these are what help us keep all of our yearly fee at SASA (which are considerably lower then the rest of the state) down so please volunteer your times and contacts to help us make these events a huge success.
The SASA board of directors is looking to fill some open positions. Board terms are for 1 or 3 years depending on the position. Please consider taking an active role in one of best youth organizations in the area. Without the dedicated volunteers, the many positive experiences that SASA provides would not exist.
Contact (802-527-2938), (802-524-1824), Laura Wilson (802-527-3968) or (802-524-3327) if you are interested in being considered for any of the open positions.
St. Albans, Missisquoi and Milton have joined forces to form the Northern Vermont Cross Ice Mite League. Girls and boys ages 6-8 are playing in two divisions, Mite Minor and Mite Major.
A description of the league is available on the Mite team pages.
SASA has teamed up with JC Image to provide clothing with the SASA logo this year.

On Tuesday, July 27, USA Hockey announced that former SASA and BFA star, John Leclair will be inducted into the USA Hockey Hall of Fame. Details of the official ceremony will be announced in August. John played for SASA in the late '70's and 80's. He graduated from BFA in 1987.

Sending your child with another parent or bringing someone else's child? Use the border crossing permission slip.
On June 1, 2009, the US government will require a passport, passport card, enhanced drivers license or another approved document to cross the border.
Please be prepared for the 2009-2010 season. Adults will need one of these documents to cross the border. Children under 16 will need a birth certificate (copy or original). SASA will continue to schedule games for travel mites, squirts, peewees, bantams and girls teams with our neighbors.
