Intro:
My name is Pat Conlin and it's my pleasure to be leading our group of volunteers in developing our kids' hockey and skating skills and teamwork skills, while most importantly having fun! We're very fortunate to have 18 different parents involved as volunteers for our IDP2 Group. This year's four head coaches, assistants and IDP2 trainer are:
Team Blue: Bill Simpson, Assistants: Sam Hossack, Jeff Elliot, Pat Conlin
Team Gold: Brad Fletcher, Assistants: Darryl Twynstra, Dave Wall, Matt Thompson
Team Red: Steve King, Assistants: Shawn McCallum, Blair Keating, Bill Hewerdine
Team White: Chris Cook, Assistants: Corey Balir, Matt Telford, Jeff Keene, Andrew McCallum
IDP 2 Trainer/Manager: Lisa Loft
2018-21019 Structure:
Throughout the year we'll be developing the kids' fundamental skills using Hockey Canada's Initiation Skills as a guideline. From now until January, Saturdays will be small area fun and skill building days and Sundays will be team drills and Game Day.
Post-Christmas we’ll be scheduling games with 4 or 5 local teams based on best fit with our group. Please continue to check in to IDP2 website for further updates.
London Knights Intermission Skate Sun. Dec. 16, 2 pm - Budweiser Gardens
Our IDP2 Jets have the opportunity to participate in the London Knights/Tim Hortons Intermission Skate between the 1st and 2nd periods on Sun., Dec. 16th at 2 pm against the Erie Otters. As part of this promotion, Tim Hortons covers the cost of 30 tickets which we'll divy up for our IDP2 skaters. In order to participate, our group must also commit to an additional 45 tickets (75 in total). We are welcome to exceed the 75 ticket goal, but the Knights advise the sooner tickets are committed to, the better, to guarantee our seats. Seats will be in a block in the upper sections at a cost of $19 each, including tax. In years' past, groups have been as high as 200, so please book your tickets early.
Our trainer/manager Lisa Loft is the contact person for tickets. Please email her your numbers and funds via email money transfer to confirm your spots by November 20, 2018. Lisa's contact info: [email protected], cell: 519 871 7270. I'll post another reminder closer to the date.
On behalf of our Coaches, Assistants and Volunteers, we’re looking forward to a great year – see you at the rink!
Pat
