At the first ice session, the youngsters were put through various skating tests and each boy was timed. They'll go through the same tests at the end of the six-week program so the coaches can see Whot progress each youngster has managed. If the program is successful, Horn who is president of the EMHA said it may be extended next season to include more boys in the system -- particularly the pre-season physical fitness aspect. While the youngsters are also Working to improve their skills, so are the local coaches. Five coaches and managers recently completed the level H program of the CAHA Coaches' Certification program. Attending the course in Sarnia were Peter McFalls, Jack Underwood, Bill Batten, Wayne Pearce and Ron Horn, Ray Brooks, Bob Rowe, Lloyd , Moore and Ron Bogart are registered for the same level II program in London in October. In November, Exeter Minor Hockey Association have booked a level I program for all coaches in the system. "We hope to have all our coaches continue in the program," Horn explained, noting that the recent McMurtry report on violence in hockey suggests that all coaches should have to complete such courses before they can assume their duties, "If that comes, we'll be ahead of the game by having many of our minor coaches and managers well on in the program," the EMHA president explained. Special hockey training for local minors STRETCHING HOCKEY MUSCLES All muscles to be used during the' upcoming hockey season are being exercised during a current hockey clinic sponsored by EMHA. In action are Walter Van Essen, David Underwood, David Shaw, John Osgood and Bill Glover. T-A photo Sessions on, off ice While NHL teams are busily engaged in pre-season training, they have nothing over a group of 36 area youngsters. They are also getting ready for the upcoming hockey season in an experimental program being operated by some members of the Exeter Minor Hockey Association. The boys, aged six to 10, work out in a physical fitness program every Wednesday night at the Exeter arena and then take to the ice at the Huroo Park arena' Saturday morning. Included in the Wednesday night session is a film program on the basics of hockey—skating, passing, shooting, goal tending and checking, Two films are shown nightly to the young enthusiasts, The lopal program was designed by Ron Horn and Bill Batten, after the two found they were both thinking along the same lines last spring in having their atom and novice teams engage in some pre-season workouts for the 1974-75 season. "I was looking at it from a bit of a selfish context as I was sear- ching for an alternative to sen- ding my three sons to hockey school," Batten explained. He had intended to see if other parents were interested in a cheaper alternative (the local program costs each participant only $10) and after mentioning the suggestion to Horn, they decided to poll some of the youngsters who would be playing ,in the atom and novice categories this season, Their original letter drew 33 replies and when the program was initiated this fall, 36 youngsters registered. , They also solicited the support of other coaches in the minor setup and quickly had a group of volunteers to help. They include Bill Gilfillan, Jim O'Toole, Gary Balsdon, Jim Pfaff, Howard Churchill, Bob Whiteford, Wayne Pearce, Jack Underwood, Pete McFalls and Bill VanBergen. Other coaches in the minor system have also volunteered their assistance when required and when the boys are split into groups of 18f or the ice sessions at Huron Park, each coach can work with three or four boys to provide almost individual assistance. Each group is on the ice for an hour and a half. SHDHS physical education head Ron Bogart was asked to assist with the Wednesday night physical fitness program. • "We foimd it almost impossible to believe the program Ron came up with for the boys," Horn remarked after the initial workout. Bogart provided a quantity of physical fitness equipment and gave each of the youngsters a small booklet detailing diagramed exercises and a program they could follow at home between work outs. He showed them how to make weight training equipment and other items that help develop muscles and hockey skills. "This is the age to get boys interested in physical fitness," Bogart explained, adding that if they get interested and en- thusiastic enough at an early age they will continue their programs into later life.
