I went to pick them up from the airport and brought them back to my place to stay the next few nights . When we arrived we began talking about Ushuaia and the Argentine Federation . It sounds like i will be going to play for the host team when i go to Argentina in July to play in their tournament ! The one thing that really stuck out for me was when they were explaining their rink and what they need to maintain it ... i want to help these guys as much as i can .
Javier & Anita told me they have to shovel snow off the rink which is the only Olympic sized rink in South America , and that their scoreboard was a small tv screen they have . Immediately i started to think that it would be great if someone would donate a zamboni and a scoreboard for their outdoor rink ... unfortunately i can't think of anyone that has any of these to donate off hand .... but how awesome would it be if i could help them find someone who could help them ????
The only way i can see myself helping my friends from Argentina would be to get them on TV or some form of press ( newspaper or online interview ) and then maybe someone out there would see this and see how much they love the sport of Ice Hockey and help them out .... today i am writing this and then i will send some emails out to some tv stations to see if there is any interest in helping these guys and gals :)
If anyone reading this has any connection to anyone that can help me help them it would be greatly appreciated , we should help our brothers and sisters that love the game as much as we do !!! We are all one big international family when it comes to the game we all love . Please leave a comment below if you know someone in the media or someone with a spare zamboni kicking around and hopefully we can help our friends in Ushuaia make their ice rink more complete .
I sent you an email about this. Have a look.
