Gold in the Net has asked the Hawks Athletic Club to solicit our membership for shooters at their summer goalie camps.

There is no charge to participate as a shooter.  The only thing required would be a firm commitment as the organizers will be counting on the shooters to attend the sessions they sign up for.

This would be a great opportunity for extra ice time for players who want to work on their shooting skills.  It would also qualify as "community service" for school (IB) if participants need community service hours.

Please access this link which will provide you with Gold in the Net's schedule for Castledowns Arena:

Gold in the Net can be reached at 780-418-5566.  Please call them to discuss session preferences.

The Hawks Athletic Club is currently seeking a Bantam and Peewee Director.

A Category Director's role will include:

        -  Coordinating evaluations for their respective category with a
           team of evaluators chosen by the Director.
        -  Placing our players on their respective teams.
        -  Conducting coaching interviews if need be and placing our
           coaches on a team.
        -  Attend team meetings as the Hawks representative.
        -  Directing our coaches and managers on upcoming items to be done
           through the season (i.e., Minor Hockey Week).
        -  Knowing your teams and their issues, and being able to assist
           or intervene if need be.
        -  Being available to discuss issues that the parent liaisons may have.

The Bantam and Peewee Directors will report to myself, VP of Hockey Operations.  Each Category Director will work together as a team to assist each other if need be.  This can be a very rewarding and fun role as you will work closely with our players during evaluations and throughout the season.

If you are interested or have any questions please do not hesitate to call or e-mail.
