Shoot2Score hockey camp
being offered in Seaforth
Jennifer Hubbard
MEMENEEND
It's been four years since Seaforth's. popular
Dave McLlwain Hockey School ended, but one
of the school's former instructors is hoping to
rekindle the local tradition.
Working together with his fellow Seaforth
Minor Hockey alumni, Dan Wildfong — who is
currently playing professional hockey with
the Shreveport Mudbugs — plans to host a
Shoot2Score hockey camp in town this sum-
mer.
"We just want to give back as much as we
can to our community and we hope that
today's young hockey players can learn some-
thing from our experiences," explained
Wildfong, who has been playing with the
Louisiana team in the Central Hockey League
for eight years.
"I had a really good time at the McLlwain
camps and we're trying to keep that tradition
going."
Brian Melady is working alongside
Wildfong to make the camp a reality.
Set for Aug. 20-24 at the Seaforth arena,
the Shoot2Score camp will feature 12.5 hours
of ice time, team -building exercises and a
variety of sports.
"Basically we want to encourage kids to
think about their team first and not just indi-
vidual scoring," he commented.
"These days I believe the mental aspect of
hockey is just as important as the physical. If
you're not mentally strong, it's harder to
excel."
Open to hockey players ages four_ through
18, the five-day camp will run from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m.
Melady said he is hoping for a minimum of
65 to 70 participants.
"We have room for even more," he added.
The camp's instructor list features local
hockey celebrities Derek Nesbitt, Ryan
O'Reilly, Mike McLaughlin and Cal O'Reilly.
Nesbitt is playing his second year with the
Idaho Steel Heads and Ryan O'Reilly is a top
prospect for the upcoming Ontario Hockey
League draft.
Playing with the St. Marys Lincolns in the
Jr. `B' Western Ontario Hockey League,
McLaughlin has accepted a full hockey schol-
arship to Northeastern University in Boston.
A fifth round pick for the Nashville Predators
in the 2005 NHL draft, Cal O'Reilly is playing
his first year with the Milwaukee Admirals.
Local coach Brian O'Reilly, will be offering
his expertise in off -ice conditioning and team
building and two of Wildfong's Mudbugs
teammates will also be instructing.
"It's a really good mixture of guys,"
Wildfong added.
The camp will wrap up with a celebrity
hockey game, featuring the instructors and
other Seaforth hockey stars.
Organizers are hoping the community will
support the game as a fundraiser for the local
minor hockey league.
"The No. 1 priority for me is to offer another
event that creates good publicity for the town
of Seaforth and its minor hockey system,"
Melady said.
"It's important for today's young people to
know about Seaforth's hockey success. But it's
not just about success in hockey... these peo-
ple are professionals that contribute to their
communities and great role models."
Registration forms for the camp will be
available during Seaforth Minor Hockey's
annual registration on Saturday, March 24
from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., online at
www.shoot2scorecamps.com and on Aug. 19
at the arena.
In order to accommodate the camp, the
Seaforth arena will be putting its ice in two
weeks early.
Melady is hoping the camp will serve as a
kick-off for the Seaforth Minor Hockey sea-
son, which begins in September.
County can do more to help farmers,
says Huron County's warden
During his monthly warden's report, Deb
Shewfelt said a recent visit to see an agricul-
ture -inspired display at the Huron County
Museum made him realize that there is likely
more the county can do to help its farmers.
"We basically are an agricultural communi-
ty and sometimes we veer off and forget about
that," he said.
He added that point was hammered home
when he attended the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture -sponsored MP/MPP
luncheon at the Betty Cardno Centre in
Clinton on March 3.
Shewfelt urged farm groups to come for-
ward to the county with their concerns since
the county likely can "help push some of the
issues forward."
Shewfelt also noted he attend-
ed a number of events in the past
month, including a meeting with
Huron -Bruce MPP Carol Mitchell
and Health Minster George
Smitherman at the Bluewater
Nursing Home, alongside Bluewater
Mayor Bill Dowson.
Shewfelt said it was somewhat
comforting to hear the provincial
representatives say they realize
there isn't a one -size -fits -all solution
to managing such facilities.
