TNC
Hockey ready to start its new season!
<TNC hockey will
start it's new season with 8 teams in 2 divisions. We know that everyone is
gearing up for the fall season so here's what's up with TNC Hockey:
Our
first session will be Sat. night Sept. 11 at Forest Hill 7-10 p.m. We
will use the ice for skill sessions (run by Eddie) and jersey sizing.
There will also be a few players there who are trying out for the final few
spots in the league. Please note that if you know of any interested players,
they need to contact us first. There are currently 2 spots open in peewee
and 5 open in bantam. Please get the word out! Coaches will be on hand
to meet players, and to help with jersey sizing. We will break the skills
into 4 - 45 minute sessions as follows:
On September
18 we will be doing much the same, but teams will be on the ice for an hour
each. Please note that it is Yom Kippur, so we are expecting a lower than
usual turnout.
Coaches
should be contacting their players via e-mail this week. Please note that
there will likely still be some trading/balancing going on. It's important
that everyone keep this in mind, so no one is disappointed in the end. As
much as we are about being competitive, we do want this to be a positive experience
for all of the players.
Thanks,
and see you at the rink next Saturday!

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.
