Exciting Hockey Action this Weekend at Bud King


Opportunity for Skills training

 

The Saint Mary’s University Coaching staff is announcing a two hour skill session available to all 2000, 2001, and 2002 birth years on January 15th, 2012.  Please see the flyer attached for more information. Our plan is to find a two hour block of ice every two weeks through the beginning of March. Throughout these sessions we will be looking for a number of players to form a AAA level team or teams who will continue to train throughout the spring, summer and fall. I hope to see you on January 15th and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to call or e-mail anytime.

New Concussion Program

The Winona Area Youth Hockey Association (WAYHA) has partnered with Winona Health and the newly formed Winona Youth Sports Safety Committee (WYSSC) to provide a comprehensive concussion management program for our players.  The initial cost of screening each player will be covered by Winona Health, our local health care provider.

Concussions have become a serious problem in contact sports as our kids are bigger, faster, and stronger.  The medical community has just begun to better understand the long-term effects of concussions and that even seemingly minor head injuries can greatly harm young athletes, and put their future and even their lives at risk. 

Minnesota has passed legislation requiring all youth sports programs provide concussion information to parents and players, including formal training for coaches.  The law mandates that a child suffering a concussion receive formal clearance from a health care provider before undergoing a gradual “return-to-play” process.


District 9

The creation of District 9, located in southern Minnesota , will take effect with the 2010-11 season.  This  change will directly effect Winona as we are part of the new District.  The Associations making up District 9 are shown below:

With the recent injuries related to checking from behind, should the penalty be increased?
