Spirit Training Conference & Grizzlies on Ice

September 12th, 2021

Our very first Spirit Training Conference happened on September 12th from 1:00PM to 3:00PM. The event took place at the American Legion Park, which is close-by to the ice rink. Covid waiver form, masks and key club spirit were required by all attendees! Our two spirit coordinators, Habeeb Khan and Peter Nguyen, led the attendees through two icebreaker activities. Members and officers were then divided into groups, featuring our spirit team as leaders in each group, to learn the division’s key club chants in preparation for RTC. The attendees spent roughly an hour learning chants like Big Bank, DIV, D27North, Get Grizzly, and many others! During our water break, members and officers could use this time to go over the chants for the spirit battle that would take place shortly. During the spirit battle, whoever showed the most spirit would win the STC stick made by Stella Torres, our Member Recognition Task Coordinator. The spirit battle was divided into two teams: Habeeb’s and Peter’s. The winner’s team would be determined by how loud and in sync a team was, judged by our LTG, Hailey Phan. Jason Tran, McNair’s Key Club Secretary, won the STC stick and that was determined by our Spirit Coordinators. We had another event to attend after STC ended, which was Grizzlies on Ice. From 3PM to 5PM, Grizzlies on Ice took place at Oak Park Skate Rink. Many members and officers were able to bond and skate!
