The Huron Expositor, 1987-10-14, Page 7Hockey school Seaforth's local hockey buffs were on the • ice all last week getting ready for the up-, coming season. They took part in hockey school,,but. it.may be the last season the kids get the, early start. The hockey school may not be around next year. Other clubs are now wanting to start earlier in the season than they did in past years. Before broomball, ringette and other clubs didn't want to start until later in Oc- tober, but now they want.to get'on the ice as soon 'as it is in the arena. "Other groups feel that as soon as the ice goes in they are entitled to their time, and you can't argue with them because the have a point," said Ellie Schoonderwoerd, president of the Seaforth Minor Hockey Association. This year the kids got a week cutoff their hockey school time, but the organizers made the sessions an hour and a half instead of one hour, and made it six days straight. So the kids 'only missed out on an hour of hockey as, compared to •last year. If the hockey school is cut out entirely next year it will likely be missed most -by kids who are trying out for the travel teams. For them, and the other people in the school, the•hockey school is a chance to get in shape and improve their basirskills. Everyone associated with the school thinks it improves minor hockey players who participate. "It is a concentrated effort on the basics of hockey. The coaches who run it concen- trateon skating and not as much on the game aspects of hockey, " • said Mrs. Schoonderwoerd. "It improves good hockey players more because they get a chance to play with kids at their own level. Normally in minor hockey they don't get a chance to play with older kids," says Recreation Director Mar- ty Bedard. may not exist in 1988, THE HURON EXPOSITOR, OCTOBER 14, 1987— 7A HOCKEY SCHOOL - Coach Terry Craig looks on as local minor hockey players trouble with this drill in Seaforth's minor hockey school. Corbett photo. had "The main thing to improve their skills is ice -time and this gets them.extra ice time," remarks Don Hulley, who has children who attend the school.- Mrs. chool.Mrs. Schoonderwoerd doesn't think the school will be missed too much if it is discon- tinued. The bigger kids who are more serious about hockey have been going to hockey school all summer anyway so it doesn't mean as much to them. And the parents of the younger kids aren't as serious about hockey yet. But it will be; missed by minor hockey who have always used the school as a bit of a fund raiser to start off the year.
