COACHES' WELCOME MESSAGE 2011-12

Hello!  We, Tom McCabe, JP Piltzmaker, Mark Simon and Curtis Dracz are the coaches of the Imperial Guard Ice Hockey Club.  Joining the Imperial Guard family is something that we take very seriously.  It means that both players and parents are making a commitment to always working hard (on and off the ice), being a good teammate, participating in all Imperial Guard team activities and having fun! 

We would like to outline some of the important things to remember this year:

1)       Throughout the season, we will have two regular practices every week, both at the Hokay rink (Tyke has one at Long De).  Skating is the most important part of being a good hockey player so all practices will include a lot of this component.  Other individual skills as well as team play, positioning and attitude will also be worked on.
