Seaforth minor hockey launches website
Aaron J a c k l i n
The Seaforth ' Minor Hockey
Association has launched a website.
"We started in June and I've been
working away all summer," says
web -administrator Lisa Campbell.
"It's very new."
She says more and more boards
are launching websites, giving the
Western Ontario Athletic
Association and Ontario Minor
Hockey Association as examples.
"A significant number of teams
are starting to develop their web-
sites," she says. "We've basically hit
a day and age where very few peo-
ple don't, have some sort of access to
the Internet, even if it's just
through the kids at school. It's a
communication tool that's just
invaluable to us."
Campbell says that while some
local associations have a site, others
don't.
"There's certainly some that don't,
have websites as comprehensive as
we are trying to develop ours to be,"
she says. "There's a significant
number that are not at that point
yet."
Campbell says they're setting
their site up so that each coach - or
a representative from each team -
will be able to make changes and
that each team will have a page of
their own.
"We are expecting them to go in
and update their score after their
games and any highlig s of their
games," she says, notin the site
will have game schedules, coach
biographies and information about
the board.
"We're posting our minutes from
our board meetings on there so that
- once they're approved, of coirse -
everybody can know exactly what's
going on at the board level, be
aware of the decisions we're making
and how we're getting to them,"
says Campbell.
She says that now the board has
started appointing coaches, she's
going to start entering the names of
the coaches they have.
There are four coaching positions
they're looking to fill: midget local,
bantam local, peewee local and
midget girls.
"We are still accepting applica-
tions - I have a couple in that have
not been approved - for juvenile as
coaches to train
their players and
parents to check
their e-mail and
the website
before going to a
game to check for
cancellations.
"That way we
don't have someone driving to
Mount Forest only to find out
there's a game cancelled," she says,
noting it's the coach's responsibility
to call the ones who don't have e-
mail or Internet.

Lisa Campbell, web administrator for the
hockey webpage, takes a look at the site o
well," she says.
Once they have all their coaches,
Campbell will hold a training ses-
sion to teach them how to update
their team pages.
"We're really going to strongly
encourage all the coaches to do this
because it's just a tool that saves
everybody some time and keeps the
community informed," she says, not-
ing they hope people use it to find
out when the games are and then
come out to enjoy them.
"There'll be information changing
on there daily," says Campbell.
"Scores are going to come in, any-
thing -exciting that's going on, any
news, any changes in the schedule.
Snowed out, cancelled, postponed;
all of that will be posted by either
myself or someone else as soon as
we have that information. So we
expect that to be current to the sec-
ond. That's our hope."
She says schedules will be posted
on a monthly basis and that the
practice schedule is already online.
Changes will go up as they're made.
Campbell is setting up e-mail lists
for the teams so that once any can-
cellations are posted online, an e-
mail will go out to everyone on the
team letting them know.
She says they're encouraging the
