FIRST GAMES OF THE 2011-2012 SEASON
The TNC
Hockey season started with a blast at Nottawasaga on the weekend of
Sep 17/18 where all the teams in all the Divisions played exhibition
games and final trades were made to balance them. Coaches, trainers,
managers and parents had their first meetings and the weekend ended
with BIG SUCCESS.
The first games of the season for every team concluded on Tuesday Oct
4 and were all very exciting to watch and most were very close dispite
their scores.
We are almost
finished creating the schedule and will publish it post-Nottawasaga - many
thanks to Jacque Friedland and Doug Mander for the countless hours of work
they have put into it. We know many of you are trying to plan your schedules
so here are the broadstrokes:
Game nights
are Tuesdays, Fridays (7-10pm at Phil White Arena) or Saturdays
(7-10 pm Forest Hill Arena) as follows:
- Tuesday
and Friday 7-8pm games are always Peewee
- Tuesday and Friday 8-9pm games are always Bantam
- Tuesday and Friday 9-10pm games are always Midget
- Saturday 7-8:30pm game is the extra Peewee game we need each week (because
there are 5 Peewee teams)
- Saturday 8:30-10pm game is rotated between the Bantam and Midget teams
so that there is an occasional extra game during the week
We have no
ice on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Practice/skills
times include Saturday mornings 8-noon (Phil White or UCC), and Sundays
11:15-3:15 pm (Etobicoke Canlans)
- Saturday
8-10 am Phil White is always a Peewee practice and then skills with Eddie
- Saturday 10-noon Phil White is always a Bantam skills (45 minutes with Eddie)
then practice
- Saturday 10-noon UCC is always a Midget practice then skills (as soon as
Eddie can get there from Phil White)
- all teams rotate through practice and skills on Sunday depending on their
Saturday night game schedule and if they have practice on Tuesday night or
Thursday night
Other skills/practice
times: Thursdays 5:20-7pm (Chris Tonks) for two teams, which means you
will only be going there every 6 weeks or so. Saturday 5:30-6:30 pm (Forest Hill - always PeeWee practice) Tuesday 9-10 pm (Forest Hill - always Midget practice)
Our ice allocation was finalized and, we have secured enough ice for the 2011-12 season,
including City and private. The
arenas we will be using include:
PHIL WHITE
CHRIS TONKS
UCC
FOREST HILL
and CANLAN
A full schedule will be ready in late September just before the season starts.

TNC HOCKEY PLANS ARE UNDERWAY FOR 2011-2012 SEASON
The Toronto
Non-Contact Hockey League (TNC Hockey) completed another successful set
of tryouts this week and is now almost at capacity for the 2011-12 season.
With over ninety-five percent of existing players returning and significant
new interest in the league TNC Hockey will be expanding again this year
adding five teams and an additional division for a total of 5 Peewee, 4
Bantam and 4 Midget teams.
TNC Hockey
is looking forward to another exciting season of skilled hockey without
bodychecking. While we are almost at capacity, there are a limited number
of spots still available in each division. If you are interested in
joining, please click here to
contact us as we will finalize the teams in the next few weeks through
a series of spring skates and interested players can get a tryout opportunity.
TNC Hockey
is also very pleased to hear that the OHF
is banning body checking in Select hockey (click here for more info)-
it demonstrates that the core values that led us to create TNC Hockey are
gaining wider acceptance in the hockey community. However, it does not address
the issue for kids who want the option of playing no-body checking hockey
at the A, AA and AAA levels, many of whom we have attracted to the league.
TNC Hockey continues to be the only no-body checking hockey option for players
of this calibre in the Toronto area.

Bodychecking a leading cause of injury in youth hockey: study (2009)
"We reviewed nine studies from Canada, nine from the U.S. and two from Finland, and the findings from all but one support recommendations that children should play in non-contact hockey leagues until they are at least at the bantam level", said Alison Macpherson, a professor in the School of Kinesiology and Health Science at York.
