    Thu 10/15/09 TBA SJSSC PARENTS MEETING IMPORTANT NOTES FOR PRACTICES 1. ALWAYS USE THE ASSIGNED DRESSING ROOMS: It is important for safety reasons to only enter the ice from the doors by the dressing room. We have more than one practice in a row. It is important to check the list as you enter the rink and go to the dressing room assigned to your group. This will prevent the dressing rooms from being over-crowded and if your coach or someone else wants to talk to your group, you will be in the right place. 2. ALWAYS BE ON TIME: It is important to be on time for your practice. If you are late, you miss part of the practice, you may disrupt the practice for other skaters, and you may cause an accident if the coach or other skaters don’t see you coming on the ice. For the Novice Program and the Development Program, you need to be their soon enough before the start of the practice to get all your equipment on. This usually means at least 15 minutes before. For the Competitive Program, you should be starting your warm-up at least 30 minutes before the practice. This means arriving at the rink 40-45 minutes before practice so that you can get all your equipment to the dressing room and be ready to start. 3. DON’T GO ON THE ICE UNTIL A COACH IS ON THE ICE SURFACE AND GIVES THE OKAY. DO NOT GO ON THE ICE WHEN THE ZAMBONI IS ON THE ICE. 4. ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR COACH AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY RULES: See the Safety Practices part of the Handbook for more details. 5. ALWAYS HELP TO PUT OUT THE MATS: The mats are required for the safety of all skaters. We need parents to help put mats on the ice before the practice and to help take them off after the practice. If more than one or two people help, it is much quicker and the skaters lose less ice time. Once the Zamboni is off the ice, the skaters will go on to help put the mats around the rink. It is best if parents do not walk on the ice with street shoes as it puts dirt on the ice. 6. CHECK THE ST JAMES SPEEDSKATING WEBSITE AT http://eteamz.active.com/sjssc/messageboards/FOR PRACTICE SCHEDULES IF YOU ARE WONDERING ABOUT WEATHER CANCELLATIONS. STANDARD SAFETY PRACTICES There is a certain amount of risk involved in any sport. However, these risks can be minimized by adherence to general and specific safety practices. In order to ensure the safest possible environment for skaters, coaches, and volunteers, ST JAMES SPEEDSKATING has established a set of Standard Safety Practices. It is expected that all skaters, coaches, volunteers, and parents will support and adhere to these practices. These practices will be reviewed on a regular basis by the ST JAMES SPEEDSKATING Executive and updated as required. 1. No skater is allowed on the ice during practice or competition without the appropriate safety gear. As dictated by the regulations of the sport, this includes at a minimum an appropriate helmet (hockey helmets, bicycle helmets, roller-blading helmets, or specially designed speed skating helmets are acceptable) worn correctly, a bib-style neckguard of appropriate cut-resistant material (kevlar or ballistic nylon), cut-resistant and water-resistant gloves (no knit or fold-back gloves), knee protection, and soccer-style shin-guards. Additional safety gear that is recommended but not required include eye protection, elbow pads (particularly for young skaters), mouthguard, and cut proof calf protectors. All eyewear must be held on securely with a strap. Long-sleeve clothing must be worn at all times and skin covered. 2. Skaters (children, parents, or assistants) cannot enter the ice surface until the Zamboni is completely off the ice and a coach has given permission to enter the ice surface. In essence, this means that unless a coach is present and on the ice for the Development and Novice Groups, no skater is to enter the ice surface. Skaters are only to enter the ice from through the player's bench doors. 3. No skaters are to skate at elevated speeds on the track unless the appropriate mat protection is in place. Mats are only required to be in place if they are racing. Single board mats extending from the blue line to half way around the end boards. The velcro must be in place. 4. No skating on the track (at any speed) is allowed while mats are being put up or taken down. 5. Parents should not walk on the ice with street shoes as it puts dirt on the track that can jeopardize the safety of the skaters. 6. The Coaches have control of the ice surface and dictate when skaters are allowed on the track or on the ice surface. They may have a skater temporarily or permanently leave the ice surface during a practice if their behaviour is interfering with the practice or jeopardizing the safety of other skaters. This includes rough horse play, dangerous skating on the track, or skating around in center ice when instructed not to. 7. Skater’s are not to lean on the rink boards while other skaters are on the track nor are they to cross the track. In general, water bottles should be kept at center ice to minimize crossing the track. 8. Skaters may not exit the ice surface while skaters are on the track and then only with permission of the coach. In general, leaving and entering the ice surface during practice is not permitted. Skaters must be on time for practice as entering the ice during practice can create situations where skaters may collide. Skaters may only leave the ice with the coach's permission. 9. Coaches are responsible for monitoring the number and speed of skaters on the track. They are responsible for ensuring that the number and range of speed of skaters on the track at any time respects the safety of the skaters. 10. A first aid kit should be available at all times during practices or competitions. In case of emergency, a parent is requested to phone 911 at the direction of a coach on the ice surface. 11. Parents are requested not to leave children under the age of 12 unattended at the rink unless they have notified the coach and/or identified another parent to take responsibility for the skater in case of injury.

    Sat 6/13/09 TBA - Sun 6/14/09 WINNIPEG SSC REQUEST SUPPORT FOR MS BIKE TOUR I will be participating in the MS Bike Tour on June 13th-14th, the ride is 180km from Airdrie to Olds and back. The reason why this event is so important to me is because one of my good friends/training partners, Crystal Phillips, has been suffering from MS for the past four years. Her ability to return to skating after her first bout with the disease has been incredible to watch...she is doing really well this season and is hoping to improve even more next year. This ride means alot to her, it is her way to give back to the MS community and it is an opportunityfor me to show her how much I support her. Therefore, I was hoping that some of you could help me to support her by donating to the MS society of Canada. I gave step by step instructions on how to donate online...ifyou are uneasy about giving your credit card online then just let me know and we can figure out another to do it. Here is the step by step process on how to donate... 1. go to www.msbiketours.com <http://www.msbiketours.com/> 2. on the left hand side of your screen there is a button you can click on which says 'Ways to Donate'....click on it 3. The screen will come up with the words 'Ways to Donate, Support a friend or family taking part in the event' underneath that please click on the button that says 'Find your online friend and make a pledge' 4. Please type in my name in the search box 5. When it comes up Andrea Johnson - Team Tazza, please click on the button beside it saying 'Pledge Me' 6. And then you can click on the button on the right hand side that says 'Pledge Me online' Thank you for your support!! Andrea Johnson - Coach of Winnipeg SSC and the MS Society!

    Fri 2/27/09 5pm - 10pm MSSA BUD SPUD & STEAK Hello, I picked up the tickets this morning and they are ready for distribution at this time I have 2 clubs confirmed to participate in the fundraiser. Special Guest is Susan Auch. As you know the MSSA was looking into a group fundraiser. The MSSA has booked Cowboys at the Windsor Park Canad Inns for Friday, February 27th for a Bud, Spud and Steak Fundraiser. This event will coincide with the 90thAnniversary of the School Races on February 25th at the MTS Centre. The tickets for the Bud Spud and Steak are $20.00 each this includes Steak or chicken, baked potato or fries, garlic toast, Caesar salad, fried mushrooms, vegetables and either a cold beer or 1 oz shot or a non alcoholic beverage. The cost of the supper is $10 per person so the club makes $10 per ticket. The club would order their tickets through MSSA and all monies collected and unsold tickets must be returned to MSSA prior to the event. Upon completion of the event MSSA will issue cheques to each of the clubs for their share of the tickets they sold. (If you sold 10 tickets you would receive $100.00). There will also be a silent auction at the event and each club is asked to supply at least 2 gift packages with a minimum value of $50.00 each. The clubs who take part in the silent auction those funds will be divided among them after the completion of the event. This fundraiser is a chance for the clubs to make extra money and have fun in the process!! Please let me know how many tickets your club would like to have and you can order more as needed. As well I will need to know if your club will be participating in the silent auction. Thank you Nicolle Moskven Executive Director COWBOYS CANAD INN AT WINDSOR PARK
