Once again Bjorn Kinding will be in Fort McMurray to work with us on Coach Mentoring. This trip will have a bit of a different look and feel to it.
On Wednesday Nov 18, at 7:30 PM in the Multipurpose Room at FLA Bjorn will be presenting "Developing Modern Defencemen".

On Thursday Nov 19, at 7:30 PM in the Mulitpurpose Room at FLA Bjorn will be hosting a "Bull Session/Q&A Session" based on topics, concerns, areas, etc that our coaches would like to see discussed. You can forward these to Bjorn at kinding@telusplanet.net in advance so he can prepare and organize these for a smooth evening.

The on ice portion on Friday night, Saturday and Sunday morning will be a bit different. Bjorn will be doing his "demo" practices like he did the last time, but he will be also working with coaches on helping them prepare practices and carrying them out. He will sit down with the coaches an hour before their practices and discuss what they want to work on, help them design them, have the coaches carry that pratice plan out, and he will be there to oversee and assist in the execution of the designed practice.

I have created some confusion with the new schedule and I do apologize. Please check the updated schedule below. The practice times listed in RED are to be used as regular practice times that coaches will run.

If you have any questions you can forward them to Bjorn at kinding@telusplanet.net or Roland at hockeyops.fmmha@telus.net .

Orders have been submitted to our suppliers and they have started the process. No more orders will be taken for track suits at this time, but if there is a demand for another order we will go ahead and do another order.

With Initation getting off to a late start, our orders were late going into our supplier, and there is limited amounts of suits from CCM. We are sourcing another brand to supplement our order. As we get information we will forward it to you.

If you are interested as an individual or a team in ordering track suits, please send an email to me at hockeyops.fmmha@telus.net and I will keep track of demand and determine if there is enough interest to create another order.

The embroidery will take time obviously as we had a great turn out of 34 teams purchasing track suits! As they are completed they will be shipped to us and we will get them to you ASAP.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact me via email at hockeyops.fmmha@telus.net
