FH EQUIPMENT MANAGER

In today's busy world, how do some people find time to volunteer? Well, Fort Henry has long relied on volunteers for organizational management. For example, Tracy has been Fort Henry’s equipment manager for nearly four years. As the equipment manager she maintains an accurate record of the leagues capital equipment, updates our equipment, and disposes non-serviceable assets in accordance with our policies. Its a busy job but someone has to dot it! Thank you to all our volunteers for a great start of the season!

PEEWEE PLAYER ASSESSMENT

Today the Peewees skated and played hard through a series of conditioning drills while Coach Jean-Marc and Coach Mickey evaluated the players. Each player worked hard to showcase their skills. The ultimate goal is to match the Flames and Wings in strength.




Repetition is often used to develop players to be the best they can be. Assistant-Coach Mike and Assistant-Coach Brian discuss work techniques and take every opportunity to teach and demonstrate teamwork and sportsmanship.

ATOM PLAYER ASSESSMENTS

Atom players were assessed for the second weekend in hopes to find equilibrium amongst both Fort Henry Atom teams. Parents often wonder how coaches assess the talent and potential of hockey players. In essence players are evaluated on three major components; technical ability, athletic ability, and tactical awareness.




Coach Dave is getting ready to drop the puck for a confirmation exercise between the Wings and Flames. Coaches are trying their best to balance the teams before starting the season.

Shawn's keeping a watchful eye on the puck while two defence players are protecting the zone. In essence the idea for defence is to stay between the offense and the goal. A picture is worth a thousand words. Well done!

SKILLS CAMP DAY 2

After a good night's sleep the Peewee and Bantam players arrived bright-eyed and eager for another day of skills camp. The activities started at 08:00 with Bantam doing skating drills at the arena while the Peewees played soccer-baseball outdoors.



After a delicious and healthy meal at the Mess Hall, Bantam players showed off their newly-acquired skills by playing a friendly game of hockey.




Coach Darryl keeps a watchful eye on his team. Two full days of coaching and it looks like he's ready for more. Let's hope he gets his voice back before next weekend!



The Peewees sharpened their marksmanship skills in a game of bowling. Truth-be- told it's not as easy as it looks but the players managed to refine and develop a wide range of bowling styles. Move over happy Gilmore here comes the Peewees!




New and old friendships having fun while enjoying a slush Puppy. There's nothing like a sugar rush before going back on the ice.



Back at Constantine the Peewees play a final game of hockey. Here, Sam steels another goal while doing Patrick Roy's trademark move - The Butterfly.



Participants gave maximum effort during two full days of fun-filled activities. Congratulations on your hard work, dedication, and sportsmanship. Wishing you all the best for the upcoming hockey season and hope to see you next year.



Thanks to all our volunteers for a job well-done. Again this year you did a terrific job by providing a positive, safe, and fun experience for the kids over one weekend.



To coach Darryl, Chris, Dave, Geoff, Pierre, and Keith, our counsellors, Meghan, Brock, Evan, and Charlie, the goalie assistants Gavin, William, Ryan, and Geoff, and the dry-land staff Tracey and Kelly A BIG THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME , COMMITMENT, AND A GREAT WEEKEND.
Let's not forget a special thank you to Gary for organizing the Skills Camp.

SKILLS CAMP DAY 1

Fort Henry`s hockey skills camp focuses on the development of fundamental skating, puck control, shooting, and an abundance of high energy games such as volleyball, basketball, swimming, and weather permitting outdoor activities.



This exciting program challenges individual and team play tactics where players fine tune motor skills. Team skills are critical for the sport. Team success is when you accomplish something much bigger than you would as a group of the same individuals playing on their own. You have a strong synergy of individual contributions, which makes it more challenging, but rewarding in the end.



Today Pierre practices the basic goalie drill-sets goaltenders need to feel confident protecting the net. After a painful session of t-pushes and shuffle drills he gives last-minute advice to the goalie before players start their shooting exercise.



After a hard-days work the players answer hockey trivia questions in order to win prizes. Gary, the founder of the skills camp, seems to enjoy playing the role of Santa but I wonder if Miss Claus is waiting for him at the North Pole! Oops, its suppertime!
