Tomorrow’s Picture Day

Tomorrow, Sunday, November 1, our Jr. Sentinels and Vikings teams will be taking the ice (and striking a pose!) for organization picture day at Smithfield Municipal Ice Rink!

A few reminders for families:

🏒 Check the schedule below for your team’s assigned photo time.

⏰ Don’t forget Daylight Savings! Turn your clocks BACK one hour tonight!

👕 Check with your coach to confirm which jersey/uniform to wear.

🥅 Players must wear their hockey gear and skates for photos.

📸 Team photos are LIVE group photos! All players must be present at their scheduled time to be included. No composites or adding players afterward!

📩 Parents should have received an email from Little Big Leaguers Photography to begin the photo ordering process. Check your inbox (and spam folder) if you haven’t seen it!

📦 To help save families the cost of individual shipping, all photo orders will be delivered together to NRI and distributed to families.

Please arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled time, dressed and ready to go. We have a lot of teams to get through, so punctuality is key!

We'll have food trucks, Viking Village activities, inflatable axe throwing, family activities, raffles, our exciting Skills Competition, and special opportunities to honor our veterans!

🇺🇸 Most importantly, this weekend is about bringing our hockey community together while showing our appreciation for those who have served.
