Message from Coach Adrienne
Hello everyone:

My name is Coach Adrienne and I am the head coach of Team Birkett.  I will be coaching this team with Coach Colin, Coach Shawn and Trainer/Coach Anthony. I believe it is important the kids have a good foundation of skating while they are learning the game of hockey.

Over the next month we will focus on skating skills: forward/backwards skating, stopping, pivoting and puck handling.

I will break the team up in three groups to practice different skills.  Having the kids in smaller groups will allow less standing around and more one on one attention. We will also be playing some games and having a scrimmage at the end of each practice.

My goal is for your children to continue to learn the game of hockey while having fun!

The convener has asked that when the children are dressed they wait in the dressing room until the other kids are off the ice.  Also due to safety issues NO ONE is allowed on the bench except the coaching staff and children on the team.

If your child is unable to attend a practice or a game I would appreciate if you could let me know.

The league has arranged for all teams to receive some power skating lesson,  our times are posted on the team calendar.  You should sign up for email alerts, they will notify you of events, schedules ect.
