Self-defence class raises $5K for charity Horizon Taekwon-Do recently hosted a women's self-defence class that also raised $5,000 for charity. Approximately 40 women attended the class, which required participants to make donations to The Ride to Conquer Cancer. The Ride To Conquer Cancer is an annual cycling event that benefits Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. This year's event is scheduled for June 7-8. Last year's ride raised $19.1 million.

He played for the Comets Sunday in a 5-4 overtime loss at Rockford, returned to Oakville for a few days at home and will rejoin Utica Friday for a visit to the Rochester Americans. Jim said he plans to attend the game in Rochester, and a larger clan of Kellan's family and friends will likely be at Ricoh Coliseum Sunday when the Comets take on the Toronto Marlies. "It's always good when you have people in the stands, family and friends watching," said Kellan. "It will be fun on Sunday in Toronto when a lot more people will be able to come (than to the Canucks/ Leafs game). It's always a bit more meaningful." Kellan has one goal -- scored on his first NHL shot, Jan. 21 in Edmonton -- in eight games with the Canucks. He is uncertain whether Vancouver will recall him from Utica when the NHL season resumes. 25 | Thursday, February 13, 2014 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Sheridan College women's volleyball coach to step down at end of season Sheridan College women's volleyball head coach Patrick Krychowski will step down from his position at the end of the season. Krychowski made the announcement last week, citing a desire to concentrate more on his business career. "It's just time to step away. I need to focus more on other parts of my life," Krychowski said. "I've had a good run here, and I'm in no way done with volleyball. I'm just moving on from this chapter." Krychowski took over the Sheridan program in 2006 and the team's win total increased in each of his first five seasons. The Bruins have struggled this year, however, going 1-8 in the first semester, and will miss the Ontario College Athletic Associations playoffs for the first time in five years. "I am very understanding of Patrick's decision, just as I am appreciative of his efforts over the past few years," athletic director Jim Flack said. "To be a head coach in this league is no easy task. It is a high-stress environment that requires a lot of time in recruiting, preparation, practice, travel and games. People often forget that it's a part-time job with full-time demands." NOW OPEN OaKvillE TRafalGaR CO-ED Club Only No Money Down $9.75 No Enrolment* (on a 1 year membership) Limited time offer.
