New style

Remember past years when our hockey school was fortunate to have two instructors on the ice at any time? or, you actually saw the instructors teaching skills, or taking slower lads aside for some individual teaching?

Well, it’s different this year under the direction of co- ordinator Jake De Jong and his assistant Cliff Sharples.

They have a crew of young men under Detroit’s Jeff Sharples who are more than ear- ning their money with our Minor Hockey kids.

To give you an idea on how keen these Junior ‘A’ instructors are, just go and see a session where fooling around is not allowed. See how hard they work the youngsters to attain a degree of improvement.

“They made up. the drills themselves,’’ De Jong told us.

“They all contacted their Junior coaches or general managers, sought information on how best to run a hockey -school, then had a lengthy

meeting to set up an agenda.”

One of the first decisions was to cut out dry-land training.

‘‘Don Adams of the Detroit ‘organization gave us a lot of

‘good advice, including no dry- land training. He said it just saps the kids’ strength, cutting their

ability to learn and enjoy while

‘on the ice.”

“The two-and-a-half hours -ice time daily is more than -enough for any age.”’ - “Rod Philpott, who compiled

“the drills into a day-by-day in-

‘struction manual, set it up for four age groups. They take to ‘the ice for one hour and -1$-minute sessions, Then they break for a session, but stay at the rink because they’re back on the ice right after the next group. This means they're only at the rink for half a day, thus’ getting -(gpate time to go for a swim or go downtown for the rest of the ~ sday. ‘It’s. also good for the parents in delivery and pickup of “the youngster. They don’t have

nailed down for 1500. free and second for 400 1.M. |

Another Holland family member is eight-year-old Christina, and she’s third in 100 I.M., plus seventh in'400 free. _ Seven-year-old Clint .Shep-., pard has the eight-place posi- tions for 100 I.M. and 200 free.

Jennifer Henderson, the only nine-year-old, is listed at sixth for the 200 I.M. and seventh for the 800 free. Aimee Peacock, another 10-year-old, holds seventh in the 1500 free and sixth in the 400 I.M.

These rankings are made up

out of 276 girls and 248 boys

from 40 swim clubs across Canada.

of hockey

to hang around the rink all day.

‘Those instructors are not out there shooting pucks while the kids are listening to another guy at the opposite end,” Jake said. ‘*They tried the old style of in-

struction on the first morning, |

but Sharples told them ‘no way’ — work or get off the ice. They’re doing their job.”’

And if you don’t believe us, . ask the kids. .

“You can also ask the parents’ opinion next month because we want to find out all the pros and cons of our system,”’ he said. ‘‘The parents will be asked to complete a ques- tionnaire. They more or less mark us on how we did, instead of us grading the kids.”

Sharples to go on tour

Terrace’s Jeff Sharples takes on another job when he finishes with the Terrace sum- mer hockey school on the 27th. — Before he hits Detroit's NHL training camp in early September, he’ll be doing some public relations work for the | team. Jeff flies out of here on the 28th for Detroit, where he'll join Red Wings’ assistant coach Dave Lewis, director of public relations Bill Jamieson, and two teammates — John Chabot and Adam Oates. Wings’ broadcaster Dave Strader pads out this crew a3 they board a 40-foot motorhome and hit the road on a ‘‘meet-the-team"’ press junket. From Aug. 30 to Sept. 2. they make stops at London, Ontario, and four Michigan — locations — Flint, Lansing, Traverse City and Grand Rapids, They'll attend public gatherings at each location for interviews, pictures and autograph sessions. It’s all part of Detroit's good-guys image with the public, =
