Other Important Dates

SHAW Banquet, Sunday, March 25. Description and details to follow.

Cairns Show Case –March 29-April 1^st. The Cairns Family trust sponsors ice time for all SHAW teams as a way to memorialize Paul Cairns, a SHAW high school player who died in an accident. Devos will have an hour to show off new skills and to receive individual trophies.  It is usually on Saturday morning.

For other teams, SHAW has chosen to mark the end of the season with intra-squad games of newly constituted mixed teams comprised of A, B and C team players. There is also an Alumni game.

Devos skate @ Admirals on Sunday, April 15th.

Lost: RBK Glove

Did anyone find a black Rbk(Reebok) left handed glove with white writing .  I think it was lost about 2 weeks ago?  On the side, it says HG3K 8″.

We need to get the paperwork squared away on Saturday.

Eventually, coaches will be told to pull skaters off the ice who haven’t paid their ice fees and or skaters may be prohibited from participating in the Cairns Showcase. Please don’t let it come to that.

Let me know if you have any questions.

(b) A major penalty plus game misconduct penalty shall be assessed to any player who injures an opponent as a result of checking from behind or who body checks or pushes an opponent form behind causing them to go head first into the boards or goal frame.

(c) A match penalty for attempt to injure or deliberate injury to an opponent may also be assessed for checking from behind.

Hockey Canada assesses a minor penalty and game misconduct or if player is injured a major penalty and game misconduct or a match penalty.

Any time you check from behind, you risk paralyzing another player.  Don’t ever check from behind.

Jack Jablonski, a 16 year old Minnesota high school player was paralyzed as the result of a check from behind.

The same week, a second MN hockey player named Jenna Privette dedicated a game to Jack. She was drilled from behind into the boards in a no-check girls game. She lay face down on the ice, unable to move. Jenna sustained serious injuries and has no feeling in her legs. She is 18.

The check didn’t look any different from other checks from behind. Watch the video — http://www.startribune.com/sports/preps/136885053.html

Checking-from-behind is a reckless, dangerous play than happens again and again in youth hockey. Sometimes no one gets injured. Sometimes the injury is minor. Rarely and yet too often, the result is catastrophic.

Parents – tell your hockey player never to check from behind. Never. Ever. Tell them why.

Coaches – tell your players never to check from behind. Tell them why. Tell them that there will be team disciplinary action if they ever check another player from behind.

Referees – take your whistles out of your pockets and open your eyes. Enforce the rules. Call all checking from behind penalties. Never give a player a pass by calling it boarding or roughing or some other infraction.

Players – promise never to check anyone from behind.

We need to change the culture of youth hockey right now. Pledge to do you part to stop checking from behind.
