Dangerous beauty A message from the Canadian Red Cross It takes a special eye to appreciate the beauty of winter But once youve experienced Canadas won winter landscapes the impression lasts forever But there Is danger in that beauty Tor the unwary The Canadian Red Cross Society cautions winter fun seekers to be practical and cautious Gleaming and Inviting ex panics of ice can be decep tive To support just one person the ice needs to be four inches or ten thick How can you telP Make a hole close to check it out When are outdoors theres a constant battle between the low surrounding temperature and your body as it struggles to maintain its degrees Your body will cut off lion to your extremities to maintain heat In vital organs When that happens its the first sign that the surrounding cold is winning the fight This is hypothermia the Towering of interna body temperature Death usually results when that internal temperature drops to below degrees Celsius The Canadian Red Cross Scolety urges you to prepare yourself for this battle with the cold Never fish ski or snowmobile on ice less than four inches or ten centimetres thick or near obstacles such as rocks stumps and wharves which weaken ice Falling through weakened ice can result in immersion in bitterly cold water In such a situation hypothermia sets in quickly Investigate the windchlll factor the temperature and the weather forecast before going outdoors then dress accordingly Mittens are wanner than gloves and wool is still the best material of all because when wet It Rives warmth One third of all tody heat is lost in the neck and head area so cover up Wear clothing designed for the sport particularly when Fight frostbite by avoiding excessive use of alcohol to bacco and drugs a Canadian winter the

Coaches Corner By Bill Richmond Instructor In answer to a recent question on how to conduct a virile for minor players have written down some of my I are essential to procedure COMMON SENSE TO A HOCKEY PRACTICE I personally think that the hockey practice is the most important time for you to consider working with your hockey players This is the lime when you can correct mistakes easily without anyone being dis appointed because a goal was scored against you in a game If something Is done wrong a person isnt made look silly You can correct mis takes and the player will not feel bad about having made errors He 11 try that much harder He be encouraged to do things in front of his peers that possibly he wouldn I do In a game This Is the time for the coach also try different things He should be in- He can do things in a practice that possibly will work in a game giving the boys some ex to the new idea so when game time rolls around they know what happen ing numerous tips Id like to offer about conducting practice I II go over a few I feel are most important The first teach only what the boys can handle For example when a coach is try ing to explain a shot to a youngster a wrist shot or a slap shot he often goes into too much detail initially when he should be teaching only that shot Let Ihe boy practice it don t gel into Involved tech nical dala The boy will not be able lo comprehend It all He will in fact be turned off more than turned on lo that type of teaching practice Teach only what boy can handle not all that you know Another tip is that too often we go out and practice for an hour or half an hour on one thing But the method of integral teaching is usually That is teach for one short period of time over many practices in a row rather than taking the full hour and teaching the skill tor that length of lime For in stance every day you do five minutes of stick handling five minutes of passing five minutes of sweep checks five minutes of of shooting and so forth So every day youre doing a little bit of everything Conditioning drills should be done near the end of practice or even during practice In other words take some time out for doing 15 minutes of skill work and skate the fellows for five min utes In this way the con ditioning could take place directly during the practice Or It you prefer save the 10 minutes for the end of practice This Is when the boy knows he Is going to get a rest and hes more likely to put out all he has When he Is given drills at the beginning he is more apt to dog it because he knows he has another minutes to skate Praise good performance as often as you criticize major errors If somebody is doing well in practice en courage him Positive rein forcement is ihe best way of convincing players that they re doing something right and motivating them to con Without it I think all us would have very Utile shoot for In our jobs we like to find out If we are doing is worthy is successful or not Every boy has the same feeling So if hes skating hard if he made a nice play nice pass nice check he should be told You should be encoura ging him all the time Some points might be of inlerst the ban tarn practices Before we go on the ice for any practice if there something thats going lo be new I go over it on the blackboard for about minutes We It talk about a new forechecking or system or what we did wrong in the game The team also gets a list of the drill we are going to be doing that day with some comments about how lo perform the drills what look for what they should be concentrating on in the drills All the Tel lows read this before they go on the ice so when we gel out there we re ready to go USELESS CHATTER I don t spend unnecessary time standing around on the ice lecturing I save that for before proa ice or put it down on a piece of paper It saves time We only have minutes on the Ice a day It s too valuable to waste giving lectures I can use classrooms or dressing rooms to do that We but we don scrimmage without a purpose I think this is some thing more people should con sidcr Scrimmaging without a purpose only creates mis takes We think what were trying to accomplish when we scrimmage and generally we make sure it good disciplined type of scrimmage For example we II say that only one man will forecheck Maybe well The Wood Misers Our Stoves are to be- Wood Miser Our

IIOCKLY An of Great concentrating on our def system and on the practice paper before we go out 1 II mention this This way everybody is thinking about it and were more apt lo per form as a cam rather Hum as individuals at scrimmage time Another point is lo teach new things at the beginning rather than at the end of practice It is very aging lo someone trying learn a new drill when the are completely fatigued or near fatigue A tot of coaches go out and the their boys hard for or minulcs and then expect Ihem to learn a new drill or a new skill Us virtually Impossible In many cases You are not function ing at your level best men tally or physically When it comes stick handling after a tough work out like skating drills you re blood Ian t flowing through jour body properly give
