Virginia Wild Hockey club,

        Due to the inclement weather the Ashburn Ice House as well as other clubs around the area have decided to remain closed through Monday 2-9-2010.  Due to these closures all Virginia Wild hockey club events will be cancelled as well.   AIH is supposed to re-open on Monday at 4pm in time for AIH house hockey.  Please check the AIH website( www.ashburnice.com)  for up to date information.  Your patience through this is appreciated. We will be sending out  communications through each Wild teams leadership in the coming days in relation to the rest of the season schedule as soon as possible.  

        Also. the Prince William hockey club suffered a devastating blow to their home rink this morning as the roof caved in due to the weight of the snow resulting in the indefinite closure of the Dale City rink.  Thank goodness there were no injuries.  Of course we send our best wishes and thanks that no one was hurt to all of those affected and will do what we can to help them through their time of need. 

Thank you all and please be safe.

UPDATE! Tyler's Wild Peewee Team will be participating in the International Silver Stick Championships next week.  Due to this scheduling conflict, Tyler has decided his commitment to and the needs of his team far out weigh the potential individual glory he would recieve at the Capital's Shootout.  Therefore he has decided NOT to participate in the Capital's Shootout next week, but rather traveling to Canada to take a run at the International Silver Sticks Championships.  What a selfless and mature decision!  Tyler again congratulations on advancing to the Capital's Shootout Finals, but more importantly GOOD LUCK at Silver Sticks!


Congratulations to Tyler Lohmeyer, Left Winger for the PeeWee Wild team, who recently advanced to the Finals of the Washington Capitals Shoot Out Competition as the Virginia State Champion.  The competition for Tyler started on September 12th at the Ashburn Ice House, where he went up against 11 other PeeWee shooters.  The initial competition was a 2 round elimination format against 9 different goalies that narrowed the field down to 4 shooters and 2 goalies.  Tyler ended up in 2nd place overall after the initial round behind only Trey Aiello of the Ashburn Extreme ('97).  Joining them were Chris O'Brien (also of the Ashburn Extreme '97) and Jordan Graves of the Washington Little Caps (U12) as the other 2 shooters.

The Semifinals were held on September 20th at the Kettler Capitals IcePlex in Arlington, where all the remaining shooters and goalies from Virginia and Maryland were battling it out to see who would represent their state in the Finals at a future Capital's home game.  Trey Aiello came out of the gates strong and led after the first round, but Tyler and Jordan came back to tie him in the second round to force an overtime.  They then had 1 shot on each of the 2 remaining goalies.  Tyler and Trey tied with 1 goal each to force a 2nd overtime.  Tyler scored 1 more time with an incredible deke on his 2nd attempt to earn his spot in the finals as the best PeeWee shooter from Virginia.

On Thursday January 7th during one of the intermission of the Caps vs. Senators game, Tyler will be playing alongside Charlottesville goalie Zach Hale against the champions from Maryland to determine the overall Capital's Shout Out Champion.  Come out and cheer on the Wild's own Tyler Lohmeyer and the Capitals.
