Hopkins Hustle (Sat-Sun at Maple Plain)

The Hopkins Hustle is coming this weekend. This tournament is sponsored by our club and serves as a fundraiser for the organization. All three teams participate without charge, and they will be involved in helping with the event -- preparing fields, clean up, hosting, etc.

Here are a few things about the tournament:
* 20 open teams and 7 girls teams are participating. They will each play 6-7 games.
* The captains meeting is at 8 a.m. Sat and game play starts at 9 a.m. both days.
* All games will be at the Twin Cities Polo Grounds in Maple Plain
(Directions: Take Highway 12 west through Maple Plain to County Road 90.
Turn left (South) on County Road 90. Go 1 mile. Turn right (West) on Turner Road. Go 1/2 mile. The Polo Club is on the south side of the road.

* There will be a showcase game between Sub Zero and Minnesota's Grey Ducks on Sunday at 12:20.
* The Championship rounds are scheduled to start at 2 p.m. Sunday. Game play should be finished by 3:30 to 4 p.m.
* Traveling teams (6 teams from Winnipeg, Nashville and Madison) along with all the Hopkins players are invited to a potluck supper at West Junior High Saturday night between 5-7 p.m.

Tournament Director Peter Ilten will be contacting many people who offered to volunteer to provide more details about your roles. Thanks to all the families providing food for the potluck too!
