Health - Fit for Hockey
Do you want to get Fit For Hockey?
Fit For Hockey is a hockey conditioning program which combines both on-ice hockey skills training with off-ice education regarding proper physical training, health and body awareness, and nutrition.
Playing a rigorous sport such as hockey increases the chances of on-ice heart related incidents, so the Fit For Hockey program also gives players the opportunity to be trained in life saving skills such as CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
Be proactive, not reactive...bring Fit For Hockey to your community.

Why Fit For Hockey
* Hockey is a rigorous, fast-paced, start and stop sport with strong reliance on the heart
* On-ice heart related incidents such as heart attacks have been increasing in the adult/oldtimers hockey demographic
* Lack of awareness, knowledge, and education regarding proper fitness conditioning, training, and lifestyle behaviours
* Limited exposure to CPR and AED
* When an on-ice heart related incident occurs hockey participants have not been equipped with the necessary knowledge and training to act to sustain lives
* Large percentage of adult/oldtimer hockey players are not active outside of hockey
* Fear stimulus exists for administering an electric shock without having experience using an AED
Fit For Hockey Program Elements
On-ice session include:
* Proper stretching techniques / hockey stretches / warm-ups
* Progression drills to improve on-ice fitness
* Improved skating stride and efficiency
* Heart rate monitoring and testing while performing rigorous activity
* Recognizing signs of fatigue, distress and the importance of re-hydration
* Smart hockey nutrition – pre and post game
Off-ice sessions include:
* The importance of getting a physical exam and of life style adjustments
* Developing the individual and team emergency action plans
* Off-ice training: aerobic, anaerobic, strength training
* CPR / AED Defibrillator training
* Body composition test

Safety - Facial Protection
Facial Protection
CARHA Hockey promotes safety in hockey and as such encourages all players to wear the proper facial protection while on the ice.
That being said, we are pleased to announce that we have enhanced our Hockey Insurance to reflect greater coverage for dental claims.
* Dental claims for players wearing full facial protection = $2,000 max.
* Dental claims for players wearing a half visor and mouthguard = $1,500 max.
In addition, CARHA Hockey actively engages in educating hockey players on the importance of wearing facial protection and mouth guards. Such endeavours include Mouth Guard Clinics at tournaments, Facial Protection Surveys and awareness campaigns via local media outlets and hockey retailers. Contact CARHA Hockey for more information.

Here's the lowdown on new season.
First games will be Sep 5 same time slots.
Season will consist of 28 games over 30 weeks
Cost will be $375 - this includes insurance.
Spare fee up to $7 for league members, $15 for non.
To ease collection of spare monies: if spare fee not collected before game you don't play.
If one team has been stacked due to better spares - team captains will even teams up by switching up a few players (spare moved first).
AND the SHOCKER
We are reorganizing the teams with a blind lottery (ie. picking names out of hats - there will be a few hats by skill level).
After lottery team captains will make sure teams look even, if not some adjustments may be made.
So odds are 25% you'll be back on black.
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO
Let me know if you intend on playing this season
Let me know if you have been ride sharing with someone - meaning you really HAVE to be on the same team.
Any other comments (positive please)
Craig
ps Brian M : I know you are not back but will keep you informed for whenever you return
Andre : would you mind talking to our goalie to see if he can play - cost for him would be $100

Message From Brian L. - Red Team Captain to the League Committee Members
Follow up message to League Committee Members:
OK< I'm looking at the responses from my players which I told you would happen and I have to support them. As this will probably be our last year for the league, and I base this on converstions at the Prescott tonight with players from the Sunday Afternoon League who play at Tom Brown on Sundays and work for the City. ie: Steve S.; Graig M. etc. They told me our Leagues will be gone next year as the City is giving all the prime times to minor hockey. This League has also been in operation for a long time.
So, my suggestion is to try and balance the Yellow Team with some good players who will show up, run the add as discussed for outside players and maybe a mix from within when we see what level of player apply and finish on a "HAPPY NOTE AND A PARTY March 31 to celebrate a Great League coming to an end.
Based on conversations at the year end party last year I know the White does not want this, the Black and Red do not want it so lets put the idea away and take another route. I'm open for suggestions but upon thinking further on our "draft" this format will not work as one team could end up with all forwards, no defence or vice versa. Not a whole lot of thought was put into this, the only way to go would have been a full draft.
So I'm looking at it from realty, this is the last year so let end with on a Happy Note and celebrate March 31 to our League.
I'm away for the next two weeks so I'll check my e-mails when I return. No final decision on how we will proceed will be made without my vote or approval by Committee Members.

Message From Tom T. - Gold Team Captain
Good Day Gentleman;
Hope everyone is enjoying the summer despite the weather. Saturday hockey will begin on September 5th and the cost will be about $375 per player for 28 games.
At a meeting of the Captains last night the subject of breaking up the teams and starting with new rosters was seriously discussed and I think there will be some form of lottery reorganization take place. Nothing firm has been set at this point. The purpose of this message is to gauge your interest in returning whether or not you are placed on another team.
Please let me know as soon as possible.
Regards,
Tom

Message From Larry M. - White Team Captain
Hi Guys, it's that time in the year when we all start to think about hockey.
The Prescott hockey committee meet on Tues. July 28th to go over the up-coming years fees and other material.
The first think I need to know is if you are coming back to play an other year in the league, need your answer by the middle of August so in the event you are not able to join us we can get a replacement before the year starts {hope you are all in for an other year}
The fee for this year is $375.00 , the fee includes the same insurance package we got last year,{Goalie's get a special rate, I just forget what it is at this time}
Start Date is Sept. 5-2009 ending March 27-2010 Total of 30 weeks
But , we do not play on the Sat Dec. 26 - 2009
Or Feb 13 - 2010 This brings or total games played down to 28
This year the committee has decided to have a lottery to re adjust the teams, this means that all the players returning will be rated A B C or D and their names will go into a hat, the team captains will pick from the hat until the teams are established. It becomes the luck of the draw if I am able to play with any of you this year, but we can still drink at the Prescott after the games.
I hope that you will all view this in a positive manner and that I get to see you on and of the ice
Yours
Larry M.
