We are pleased to share that Enis Evlat (Director of Silent View Windows and Thame Builders) will join the board of Directors for the Oxford Rising Stars!

Enis said:
“I am excited to announce my interest in joining the Oxford Rising Stars Ice Hockey Team as a director. With my personal involvement in the sport, including playing recreational hockey and supporting my children in their training and development, I have witnessed firsthand the positive impact this team has on young athletes. As my children progress, they may even have the opportunity to play alongside the Rising Stars. Therefore, it is in my best interest to ensure the team moves in the right direction.”

“The current directors have done a fantastic job, providing young adults and youths with the chance to experience league sports and learn valuable skills from experienced players. However, there is much more to the team than just playing on the ice. Behind the scenes, there are numerous tasks and responsibilities that contribute to the team’s growth and success. To ensure the Rising Stars continue to thrive in this manner, I am eager to contribute my skills and expertise as a director. Together, we can ensure the team’s continued growth and success both on and off the ice.”

Director Paul Lynch said:
“After several discussions with Russ we came to the conclusion that to take the club to the next level we needed to strengthen our board of Directors.

“I sat down with Enis after he called me showing interest in getting involved with our club and it was an easy decision to get him on board as a Director. He is very passionate and has some fantastic ideas and we feel he will be an asset and great addition to the club ”

“Enis has two children playing in the Oxford Junior Stars so its great for him to be involved with the Rising Stars as hopefully both his children will be using this pathway to senior ice hockey.”
