We want to know our Spartan player's better! Each Wednesday a player will be selected at random to be highlighted on our IGHHA website and our association Facebook page. 

Please fill out the linked questionnaire below and provide as much information as you are comfortable sharing. Each post will include the player's First Name and Team Level - no other identifying information will be posted. If you feel comfortable, please include a photo as well! The photo does not need to show your player's face, an action shot is encouraged. 

Complete the questionnaire and send your photo to recruitment@ighhockey.org.
