We would also like to share with you an event that the parents on our team
recently put together. On December 13th, the Bantam A team travelled to Camp
Pendleton to bring Christmas cheer to the Blankenship Family. The Blankenships
are a family of 5 children (3 girls ages 6,8,17; and 2 boys ages 11, 14). The
mother, Lisa, is a very strong and personable women who is in charge of keeping
the house and daily activities going while her husband, Cpl Blankenship, serves
our country in Iraq.
Much of what Cpl Blankenship does in Iraq is kept top secret (even from his
wife) until his teams mission is completed. Occasionally, on the base, a bell
will toll notifying families that a comrade and loved has fallen. No details can
be given out until the families can be notified. You can only imagine how
difficult and stressful these times are on the spouses and the children.
With this in mind, we went to the Blankenship family home to let them know that
the Jr Ducks family appreciates the sacrifice they are making to protect our
FREEDOM. We started the visit by presenting each of them a Anaheim Ducks jersey.
We then shared with them gifts that we had purchased to help make their
Christmas a little brighter while they await the return of their husband and
father, Cpl Blankenship.
I truly believe that this experience and the stories that Lisa Blankenship
shared with the young men on our team helped all of us realize how lucky we are
to have men and women willing to make this sacrifice for us.
Finally, The Bantam A team has begun a weekly newsletter that we send to the
troops overseas updating them on our teams progress. The list consists of names
and e-mail addresses from families on our team that have neighbors or family
members serving. Currently we are writing to Ground Troops in Iraq, Doctors in
Afghanistan and US Air Force Air Traffic Controllers off the Coast of Saudi
Arabia. If you or your staff have a loved one serving, we would be happy to add
their name to our list.
In closing, I have attached a few pictures of our visit.
Happy New Year and God Bless America and God Bless our Troops and their
families.

SANTA MARGARITA CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL
JOINS ANAHEIM DUCKS HIGH SCHOOL HOCKEY LEAGUE
ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Anaheim Ducks announced today that Santa Margarita
Catholic High School will join the Anaheim Ducks High School Hockey League for
the 2009-10 season. Santa Margarita joins the JSerra Catholic High School in the
program, which launched in September 2008. Several more schools are expected to
join the league next season. The Anaheim Ducks High School Hockey League is the
first of its kind in Orange County.
“We are very excited to offer Ice Hockey at SMCHS and work with the Anaheim
Ducks in this venture,” said SMCHS Activities Director Bryan Kretzmer. “The
support of the Ducks will allow us to offer yet another activity that our
students can participate in and create a spark of interest in the sport.”
Established in 1987, Santa Margarita Catholic High School is a nationally
recognized award-winning coeducational, college preparatory, diocesan high
school with approximately 1,610 students and more than 6,100 alumni. The school
is located on a beautiful 42-acre campus in Rancho Santa Margarita nestled
against the Saddleback Mountains. For more information on Santa Margarita
Catholic High School, please visit www.smhs.org.
“This is another step in the process of growing High School hockey in Orange
County,” said Art Trottier, General Manager of Anaheim ICE and Director of the
Anaheim Ducks High School Hockey League. “We are very pleased to be able to add
a school with the stature of Santa Margarita.”
The JSerra Ice Lions began play in September 2008 as the charter member. The
league is designed as an extension of the Ducks’ organizational goal of growing
hockey talent close to home, while also working to achieve California
Interscholastic Federation (CIF) status. During the initial year, JSerra plays
an independent high school schedule, skating under the Jr. Ducks banner. The
club is competing against other Southern California Amateur Hockey Association (SCAHA)
teams and participating in three high school hockey tournaments across the
country. As the league grows, the Anaheim Ducks will continue to provide
financial support for each team involved in the program.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing
of Denise Biddle. Denise has been involved with the Junior Ducks, Lady
Ducks and Anaheim ICE for the past ten years. She wore many hats during
the seasons her daughter Kelly played, including Manager, Team Mom and
Yearbook Coordinator. Most notably, though, was the kindness, caring and
support she gave to so many and we are all fortunate to have been able
to call her Friend.
Our deepest sympathies to John, Kelly, Brian and family. Denise will be
truly missed.
