April 14, 2007 - Exhibition Game

Thank you Boy Scout Troop 258. The Carolina Fury won their third and final exhibition game of the spring tonight at the Charles B. Aycock gym against Troop 258. The game remained scoreless for most of the first period until Shawn Hessee scored his first of 2 goals. Troop 258 got on the board in the 2nd period but couldn't withstand the onslaught of goals from Fury player Jennifer Howell. Howell scored 4 goals. Final score - Carolina Fury 8 Troop 258 4.

Next game August 11, 2007.

First Exhibition Game - January 13, 2007

Carolina Fury forward Jennifer Howell's friends and family have been doing a lot of talking about beating the Fury in a Hockey game. So, for the Fury's first exhibition game, those friends and family met the Fury at Aycock Gym just to see what would happen.

What happened was one the most exciting exhibition games ever. The away team was first to score and held a one point lead at 4-3 until the last minute of the game. Your Carolina Fury never gave up and scored the tying goal in the last minute of regulation. On to overtime!

The away team never had a chance. With the shift in momentum, the Carolina Fury scored a goal and the win two minutes into overtime. The fans didn't storm the court, but I'm sure they wanted to.

As for Jennifer's friends and family. They're not talking as much for some reason!! Go Fury!! Next game is February 24.

Elon University Wheelchair Basketball Tournament

November 6, 2006 - Elon University Wheelchair Basketball Tournament

Elon University and Josh Cranfill hosted a wheelchair basketball tournament, where the players were able bodied and they used manual chairs. Most of the teams were made of people from Elon Fraternities and Sororities, and even a group of Professors had a team. Each team had to pay $15 and they got t-shirts and a dinner. The event was called Skillz on Wheelz and Josh and his group organized everything. Josh was the main recruiter and went out and got sponsors from the community. In total the event raised $7,000. Jonathan and Josh went to the class before the event and talked about the NCEWHA and the Carolina Fury to let them really see what their money was going to. Jonathan gave a little speech to all the fans and the teams on the night of the event. A special thanks to Josh and his hard work on this project.

Upcoming Game!!

As a reminder, the Carolina Fury will be kicking their exhibition season off January 13, 2007 at 7pm at the gym of Charles B. Aycock High School.

The team will be showing off their medals from the 2006 PowerHockey Cup.

Come out and support your Carolina Fury!!!

Knowing A Hero!

"It’s funny how you will find heroes in the unlikeliest of places. I never thought that working an office job I’d use the word “hero” to describe anyone, but I work with a man who’s only in his mid-20’s, and is one of the most heroic men I’ve ever met. He’d never describe himself that way, but most people who have met him would."

You can find the rest of this article written by Christine Smith here. Mrs. Smith is an Extension Agent in the department of Family & Consumer Sciences with NC Cooperative Extension, NCSU and has known and worked with Jonathan for many years and wrote this article to be presented in the Goldsboro News Argus. Keep an eye out for it.

2007 Exhibition Season Tickets on Sale Now!

We are going to do the exhibition games again this year to go ahead and start raising the money needed to go to the 2008 Powerhockey Cup.

Our first game is in January and all games will be held at Charles B. Aycock High School in Pikeville again. I had thought about moving the games to different locations, but we are going to wait on that until 2008 because I want to sell season tickets this year and Aycock is the only place I can lock in dates that far in advance.

Each ticket book will include tickets to 6 games and will cost $25.00.

That means you are getting one game free!

I realize that many of you want to support our organization, but you cannot attend the games. You can still purchase season tickets and have your tickets donated to local kids who may want to experience our game.

Also, you can purchase tickets in honor or in memory of a loved one. A lot of charities do that. For example, my aunt made a donation to the MDA in my name this year and they sent me a card. We will create a card, but it will be placed on the bleachers of each game. At the end of the season, the card will be mailed to you or your loved one. Just check the appropriate box on the Season Ticket Form located on our website www.powerhockey.com/northcarolina.

New Season Just Around The Corner!!

Hearing the Stanley Cup Champion Carolina Hurricanes held their first scrimmage last night, it made me realize that the hockey season is just around the corner.

The Hurricanes held an intersquad scrimmage at the RBC Center Wednesday night. Admission and parking was free. It was the first glance at some old and some new faces.

Next on the horizon, Carolina Fury hockey.

After a thrilling trip to Calgary, Alberta, Canada in August, the Fury are looking for some new faces to join their team as well.

If you have any interest in learning more about the Carolina Fury and PowerHockey, go to our website at www.powerhockey.com/northcarolina. There you can learn all about the sport and what PowerHockey can do for you. Contact information is also found at our site.

Thanks for reading. We hope to play with or against you one day!
