Commissioner Cup Champions
Congratulations to Chinook Ice 97 Connell and Kleier for your appearance together in the State Cup Final,
The Commissioners cup Girls U11 tournament began with 37 teams, Both Kleier and Connell teams won their respective
brackets to advance to the elimination round of the top 16 in the tournament and landing in a position where they
wouldn't have to eliminate each other prior to the final. After each team battled their way through three more very
good teams they found themselves in a very unusual situation of facing each other for the cup.
In a hard fought final match the ball bounced in favor of the Connell team with a 1-0 victory, earning them the club's first State Cup Trophy.
A tremendenous amount of volunteer work and support has made both teams the success they are today, thank you all for a great season.

About Chinook
In January 2007 the soccer clubs Eisenhower, Battle Ground and Prairie agreed to join together for the purposes of forming advanced level teams. With the help of Tri-Mountain the Chinook Soccer Alliance was able to form a select committee with delegates from each club. The committee has created operating procedures as well as identified teams, coaches and tryout dates for the upcoming 2007 soccer season.
The reason for this collaborative effort is due largely in part to the decreasing number of advanced level teams each of our clubs has been able to create. In 2006 Eisenhower had twelve ALC teams, Prairie had nine and Battle Ground only two, of those there were only pockets of success. By merging together we are able to create a much larger pool of coaches and kids allowing the formation of teams that otherwise wouldn't have the numbers to form. Another benefit of the alliance is that each recreational clubs board will now delegate their advanced level competition responsibilities to the select committee freeing them to focus on the larger pool of recreational players.
Chinook would like you to remember that soccer is a team sport in which we ask the players to work together to achieve a goal. As coaches and parents we should set the example by working as a team off the field to make soccer as accessible and enjoyable for all players of all levels.
