Hey U13 Parents and Players,
As we continue to prepare for the upcoming hockey season, it's crucial to stress the importance of accountability in achieving our goal of competing in the "A" division. Attending our team workouts and participating in the puck shot challenges are essential for the development of our players, providing a strong foundation for their on-ice performance.
Thanks to Kyle's generous support, we have access to the facilities at Lambton College at no cost. Typically, such facilities like the fitness studio, weight room, all of the equipment and use of the gyms, come at a high price, making this a unique and incredible opportunity. Kyle's commitment and expertise are invaluable, and the players are already showing noticeable improvements each week.
Our weekly workouts enhance fitness levels and foster team bonding, while creating a positive and fun environment for the players. If your daughter can’t attend a workout, please continue to keep sending Kyle or Kev a quick heads-up at least 24 hours in advance, if possible, so we can adjust workout plans if necessary.
Also, we’ve noticed some players are not logging their shots or possibly losing interest in the puck shot challenge. To make this more manageable, we are reducing the daily shot requirement from 100 pucks to 50 pucks. These weekly challenges will of course continue, focusing on specific skills and we encourage players to try and submit short videos to us for positive feedback on their technique.
NEW!! - To try and help motivate the players, we’re introducing anew challenge which will begin our Week #7 - Monday, July 15th - Sunday, July 21st that will combine the weekly workouts with the puck shot challenge. Any player who completes the two workouts and 350 pucks a week (50 pucks per day) will be entered into a draw to win a $10 Starbucks gift card. If workouts can’t be attended, we will assign a home workout to complete for the week, and a short video (10-15 seconds) of the home workout should be sent to Kyle for feedback and will count towards the challenge. At the end of the week, players names who have completed the weekly challenge will be placed in an online randomizer, and one player will be chosen to win the gift card. The winner will be posted on all our communication platforms every Monday of each week. This initiative aims to keep the players engaged and motivated while recognizing their hard work. All workouts must be completed and all shots must be logged each week in order to win.
We understand that summer schedules are busy and conflicts may arise. However, we urge you to prioritize these activities whenever possible. Every effort counts as we strive for a spot in the "A" division.
We truly and sincerely thank all of you for your support and dedication. Let’s continue to make the most of these opportunities and give our players the best chance to succeed!
“Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can do what others can’t!”
Kyle and Kev
Let's Go Sting!!!
