Player Meeting & Fitness Test
Hi Warriors,
I hope everyone has had an enjoyable summer and are as excited as I am for the start of another amazing hockey season.
I’m happy to announce this year’s Coaching staff of Myself, Serge Cino, Jeff Drew, Anthony Susi and Joe Gould. Most of you are very familiar with myself and Serge, so I won’t take up your time explaining our credentials. Joe Gould (AJ’s father) will be the team’s trainer. Jeff Drew is a good friend of Serge and has played high level hockey which he continues to play, Jeff will focus most of his attention on the goalies this year...something we have not been privileged to have in year’s past. Anthony Susi has a wealth of hockey knowledge being a Head Coach of various levels of the AAA Hamilton Jr. Bulldogs for 7+ years. The team is very fortunate to have this level of expertise helping to develop our players. I would like to hold a mandatory player meeting/fitness test on Wednesday August 27th, starting promptly at 7:30-9:00pm. The meeting/fitness test will take place at my house: 418 Upper Centennial ParkwayStoney CreekL8J 2V5 Player Meeting Key Points: (30mins)Coaches and Trainer introductionsExpectations – Focus on 100% effort every time they hit the ice.GoalsRules – I like the 3 strike rule with escalating repercussions.

I hope to schedule a follow-up fitness test later in the year to provide feedback on improvement. I’ll take care of providing some refreshments, but please feel free to bring water bottles if you want. The players should also come prepared with a stick, cleats and suitable workout attire. Please let me know as soon as possible if your NOT able to attend. There are also 8 families that have not completed the Respect in Sport of Parents program. Please do so ASAP and e-mail your certificate number to Paul. Your son can’t go on the ice until this is complete. Thanks in advance for your support!
