He said he is very pleased with the facilities at the college and the air-conditioned dorms came in handy v, lien it was so hot last week. Players ;re also broken down into three gro ips from there to work on the ice. 1 ne youngest players, from age eight to 11 are in the Advanced class, ages 12-14 are in the Elite Class and 15-18 are in the Midget and Junior College Class, while goaltenders are in a class by them- selves. Each groups has their own set of instructors as well. But there is also a group for professionals and Many professional players have attended Huron Hockey School over the years, both. in learning and teaching capacities. The last week of the school, August 20-25 this year will be reserved for the profes- sionals to come and learn and teach the kids. While Gilmour is not sure yet whic'" professionals will be at- tending if is year but he wants to encourag the public to come out and watc.. the evening scrimmages. Accorc ng to Gilmour the school has helped several professionals over the years, and one of the most notables was Dave "Tiger" Wil- liams. "I remember when Tiger was here. We had him skate one length of the ice and he was always one of the first ones to cross the line, but when we had him skate longer, in an endurance test, for 45 seconds or more at a time he would always be one of the last to finish and as a re- sult he would always take a lot of penalties towards the end of his shift and be a sore spot to his team and we tried to help him stay fresh- er, longer on the ice," said Gilmour: He also thinks it is very impor- tant for Junior players that may be attending professional camps in September to attend the school. In the school's brochure it says the school is "recommended by N.H.L. coaches and G.M.'s, player's agents and over 200 N.H.L. graduates." Gihriour thinks it is an ideal way to get them ready for the N.H.L. camps after a long summer. Some of today's top professional players, including, Ray Bourque, Al MacInnis, Kevin Lowe, Craig Simpson, Sylvain Turgeon, Luc Robitaillie, Bob Carpenter, and Ex- eter's Dave Shaw have all attended the 1 iuron Hockey School but not all have attended in Huron Park. The Huron Hockey School has an impressive list of teachers, most of whom are head coaches at major Ca- nadian and American Universities. Among the .teaching staff are: Univeristy of Western Ontario head coach Barry Martinelli, University of Ottawa's head coach Jim Web- ster, Jack Rosaasen the head coach of the University of Windsor, Mar- lin Muylaert head coach at the Uni- versity of Guelph, Terry Christen- sen, and George Gwozdecky, both assistant coaches at the University of Michigan State, and the program co-ordinator is Ron Mason head coach for the MSU Spartans. Gilmour said many professional graduates try to run schools with their name on it but they are just teaching the same things they learned at Huron Hockey School. "They usually have their name at- tatched to the school's name some how but no matter what they call it, it is all Huron Hockey School. I wish 1 had a patent on what we teach them, I would be a rich man by now," explained Gilmour.
