'Getting back to the fundamentals" is
a phrase which has almost become the
motto of minor hockey enthusiasts in the
last few years, as coaches and trainers try
to stress the irriportance of skating,
stick -handling and passing skills in young
players.
For many, professionally -Operated
hockey school are out of range, especially
because of the cost invovled. To provide
the opportunity for area youngsters to
attend an organized hockey school, which
would stress the basics of the game,
several local people have set up the
Seaforth Hockey School;
The school, which runs for ten sessions
from September 26 to October 10, was
given its life by Charles Akey, coach of the
Junior D Centenaires. He was the driving
force behind getting the school on the road
last year fo,r the first time, and it suffered
the usual grewing pains, including the lack
of people to organize and run it. But this
year the school was helped along with aid
from volunteers like Don Morton, Terry '
Craig, Bill Weber. Julie Twynham, Mark
Mcllwain and Brendan- and Rob Lane. A
few others are involved. including
Recreation Director Bryan Peter.
Gar Baker, of Harpurhey, has been
holding the Gar Baker Goalie School in the
. past few years and his' classes drew
prospective goalies from as far away as
Goderich and Zurich. But he always lacked
players on the ice to shoot pucks at the
goalies in net. The answer...amalgamate
with the Seaforth Hockey School. The
goalie school got its shooters, and the
hockey scho ol got • some proper goal -
tenders.
"We're trying to upgrade the level the
basic skills (among young players)" says
Mr. Akey:As well, the school was "started
out of the concern that the hockey schools
were getting out of hand (financially). We
felt that we had the talent here."
The school teaches strong•skating, good
stick control of the puck and proper passing
skills. A good deal of emPhasis is placed on
skating because "it's basic to the game.
We teach the fundamentals here, so that
when the players go back to their teams,"
explains Mr. Akey, "the coaches cen
emphasize technique. They don't have to
spent time teaching the basics."

And if you think it's just a little early
to start talking about hockey, you are
obviously not involved in the sport to any
great extent. Most team's- are, already well
into pre -season practices, and the Natiohal
Hockey League is underway with exhibi
tion matches.
I would rather not think about it, but fall
is here, which means that the snow is only
a month Or • so away. The Junior
Centenaires know it.. and as of last
Monday, they have started practising for
the upcoming season.
The 1980/81 season should prove to be
interesting for the Centenaires, who will be
faced with a major team rebuilding since
ten of last year's players aren't coming
back. Five were lost to the over age player
hile, and five for a variety of other reasons,
including college and university.
Dennis Neilsen. who played both Junior
D and Midget two years ago, and was a
leader on defence for the Centenai res last
season, was accepted in tryouts for the
Junior B team in St. Marys. He'll be
putting in his ice time for them this time
instead of for the local squad.
• Coach Akey is optimistic about the new
season, but he realizes that it will be tough,
Icing a top team with only six or seven
returning players. With 26 showing up to
Monday's tryout the coach hopes that some
new talent, perhaps from the midget level,
will appear to form the Centenaires.
THE BOSS—Charles Akey, coach of the
Seaforth Centenaires, ' held the first team
practise for the season Monday, and explained
the.strategy he plans to use this year. He also
made it known that he is the boss. — (Photo by
