Welcome to the Annual Essex Youth Hockey Thanksgiving Yamboree. Our tournament committee welcomes all players, coaches, referees and spectators with a special welcome. We sincerely appreciate the participation of ALL teams that travel to attend our Cross Ice Mite Yamboree.

We truly hope that all the players, coaches and parents will have an enjoyable time at the event and when the Yamboree is over, everyone will travel safely home, with memories that will be treasured forever. Hopefully, new friendships will be made, and previous ones renewed.
We will again have a full snack bar throughout the tournament. We will also have gift baskets for families to raffle-bid on and T-shirts for the kids to purchase and much more.  We could not hold this tournament without your programs attending. We can’t thank you enough for attending and making this one of the biggest Cross Ice mite tournaments in the Northeast region.  

I would personally like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to all of our tournament volunteers. Through consistent hard work, level of commitment and perseverance, each and every one of you have made this year’s Yamboree a significant life-enhancing element of our personal lives and provided a wonderful and strong sense of social cohesion in our own community. I know for a fact the players, coaches and families that attend will see the passion and the hard work that is being spent on this year’s Yamboree.   
 

A special thank you is once again extended to the Mount Mansfield  and Essex High School Varsity Hockey Programs whose mission is to provide assistance for a variety of tasks throughout the tournament. They often score games, help with bumpers and run the score clock when needed. We truly depend on former EYHA players and local high school athletes to help and I could not be more proud of the help they provide year after year.
 

We also appreciate the continued support of ALL our community sponsors. I am real proud to live in and be a part of such a great community.
 

Good Luck to everyone, have a great Yamboree, and most of all have fun with the kids and I will see you all at the rink!
