New players, new staff, new outlook for 2009 Sailors
The Goderich Junior 'C' Sailors main camp
will be getting underway Saturday, August 8,
at 1 p.m. at the Maitland Recreation Centre -
Sifto Arena There will be two skates on Sat-
urday 1-2:30 and 4-6 p.m. The 1 p.m. skate
is an open skate to all who are interested in
competing for a spot on the team.
Although this is the start of main camp the
Junior `C' Sailors coaching staff and execu-
tive have been very active this summer host-
ing Monday night skates and Thursday night
workouts. These both have been very well
attended and have demonstrated to everyone
that Goderich has changed its approach in de-
veloping a successful hockey organization.
We are very pleased with the appointment
of Head Coach Todd Goetz. Goetz has al-
ready spent countless hours at the MRC and
on his phone talking to potential players.
Any player with aspirations to see how far
their hockey potential will take them will ap-
preciate Goetz as their Head coach. I do not
know of any other coach, at any level who
is willing to go out of their way to see that
a player has every opportunity to develop to
their highest potential if they are prepared to
put in the time and effort. Goetz is a student
of the game as he attends regularly the most
prominent coaching clinics to stay current
on hockey trends and developing successful
teams. He just recently returned from a clinic
featuring head coaches Bruce . Boudreau
from the Washington Capitals and Peter De-
boer from the Florida Panthers of the NHL.
Goetz has also surrounded himself with top
notch assistants.

We are pleased that Brandon Dykxhoorn,
a skilled and dominant physical force on the
