Camp Manitou

This is the last week of hockey! It has been a great season and the students have learned and improved so much! If your child would like to show appreciation for their coaches, this is a great time to write letters and cards, or draw pictures that they can give to their coaches this Thursday.

To celebrate the great season, there will be a fun day next Tuesday at Camp Manitou. Please send your child in clothes appropriate for the weather. Wear layers! Please also wear sunscreen. Please also send a water bottle.

Another wonderful treat is that each WJHA student has been awarded a free week of camp at Camp Manitou this summer. July 9th - 13th is our week. Pick up and drop off will be at Stevenson-Britannia every day. A form was sent home last Thursday. Please return it as soon as possible. More information will come to you closer to the week of camp this summer.

Important Notes

There are a couple of important changes to be aware of this week:

Due to a Ringette Tournament at the Bell Mts Iceplex, there will be No Hockey for the Grade 4/5s this Thursday.

The Grade 2/3s will be moved to Allard arena (80 Allard Avenue). There is not room for both groups, so the grade 2/3s will continue with their session and the grade 4/5s will have a break.

Also this week, the grade 4/5s will have a Floorball Tournament on Friday at Keith Bodley Arena (165 Sansome Avenue) from 9:00 - 1:00. We will leave first thing Friday morning so please be sure to be on time. Students are asked to please being clean indoor shoes and a water bottle. Snacks and lunch will be provided.

Weeks 4 and 5

We are so lucky to have such generous people helping us at hockey! There are police officers, cadets and many other volunteers including Mrs. MacDonell that used to work at our school, but because she loves the program so much and loves the students at Stevenson, she comes every week to help out! We also have Ms. Husein, a mother of 3 at home, but a mother of 25 as she helps the grade 2/3s get dressed and with anything while they are on the ice!

Our volunteers are helping tie skates, tying hair back, untwist the jerseys from the rest of our equipment, tightening hockey shorts that are sometimes become loose and fall down to our ankles! 

We also have some of the greatest coaches also! They are so patient and so encouraging and lead us through so many fun and challenging drills! They also go out of their way to help out any way they can, and will literally take the shirt off their back to make sure everyone has everything they need.

Thank you!!

Week 3

I spy with my little eye some pretty great hockey players! The grade 2/3 students continued to work on their skating skills. There were drills skating around cones and diving under sticks. There was even some really great determination practicing crossovers! Way to go 2/3s!

The grade 4/5s were challenged skating backwards, working on agility and scrimmaging!

It has been wonderful having all of the families coming to watch during practices. If you are thinking that you might like to come watch a practice, our ice times are from 12:40 - 1:40 pm.

Please remember to send your child with a change of clothes. There have been a lot of sweaty hockey players lately! They have been working hard!
