Hey guys,
This is a potential way to make some money for the team. I have attached all the info about the Challenge cup below so you can see what it’s all about. If you think you might be interested, let us know. Since this is something that everyone on the official roster does (if you have filled in a form that has been submitted to athletics, you are on the official roster), I want to see if it’s worth it for us to do it --> it sounds like athletics will take out 12$ x the number of people on the official roster from our account, so if there aren’t a ton of people interested, we won’t do it.
Let me know if you have any questions…
Btw they also said that the Queen’s vs. Redmen hockey, Carnival Hockey, the Corey Cup and Fill the Stadium are NOT included in the games you would get free access to.
