Titans Open Board and Committee Positions
THE TITANS NEED YOU!
The Georgetown Titans Youth Ice Hockey organization is founded on inclusion, accessibility, service and a dream of utilizing hockey to incorporate and unite all. We have grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years: we created a board to create an organized structure that will make the program sustainable; we have submitted our 501C3 application; created by laws; developed committees, won two grants to support our Try Hockey for Free program; received our first ever sponsorships; our first official fundraising programs; received recognition by ESPN and other local media for team sportsmanship; have expanded from four to five teams, and more than doubled our ice time. The Titans need volunteers to keep up the momentum. Please click on the attached PDF file for information the open positions, what each position entails, and the yearlong calendar of events for the Titans Board.
2019 MLK SERVICE DAY
TITANS 2019 MLK SERVICE EVENT
Thank you to all the Titans who participated in our MLK Day service event! Despite the freezing cold temperatures and the postponement of our outdoor project with DC Urban greens, dozens of Titans and their families came to Fort Dupont on Jan 21 to assemble one hundred walking food bags for our DC neighbors who are homeless. Big thanks to David Wolf, of Samaritan Ministry of Greater Washington and Martha Wolf, of Miriam’s Kitchen (our benefiting partner organizations) who organized and will distribute the food bags. SPECIAL THANKS to our Founder and Coach Emeritus Willy Meaux who came with his crepes, and his huge Titans spirit. Lines for his crepes were out the door! We also received several donations from Titans families who couldn't make it - you were still part of the day and helped to make this happen. GO TITANS!

Titans Highlights
TITANS V1 PLAYERS ON WUSA 9 NEWS!
The Titans V1 team was playing a game when WUSA9 came to the rink to do a story after Blackhawks fans hurled racial insults at Caps forward Devante Smith-Pelly. Other fans wanted to make up for the hurtful incident, so Smith-Pelly steered them to to Fort Dupont, which took in more than $20,000 in donations. Watch our middle schoolers in action, and Lawrent Chinakhwe being interviewed!
Titans in The Washington Post!
The Georgetown Titans were in trouble. Their goalie was sick, and they had no backup to face the Hagerstown Bulldogs at their Maryland rink. But Leopold Hylton stepped up. He'd never played goalie before. Heck, he'd never even worn the huge pads or held that mighty stick before. But his team needed help, and he would be the one to do it.
Good Reading on Youth Sports
What Sports Parents Can Learn From a Town in Vermont That Produced 11 Olympians
Norwich has sent its kids to the Olympics while largely rejecting the hypercompetitive joy-wringing culture of today’s achievement-oriented parents. In Norwich, kids don’t specialize in a single sport, and they even root for their rivals. Parents encourage their kids to simply enjoy themselves because they recognize that more than any trophy or record, the life skills sports develop and sharpen are the real payoff. The town’s approach runs counter to the widespread belief — propagated by those perpetuating the professionalized youth sports complex — that athletic excellence and a well-balanced childhood cannot coexist."
The Secret to Norway's Olympic Success
Tore Ovrebo, director of elite sports in Norway, says that "in Norway, organized youth sports teams cannot keep score until they are 13. “We want to leave the kids alone,” says Ovrebo. “We want them to play. We want them to develop, and be focused on social skills. They learn a lot from sports. They learn a lot from playing. They learn a lot from not being anxious. They learn a lot from not being counted. They learn a lot from not being judged. And they feel better. And they tend to stay on for longer.”
9-year-old hockey players deliver a lesson in decency
Wondering whether we can still find grace and honor anywhere around Washington? Yes, you can. It was on full display Sunday afternoon at a hockey rink.
