JOE DAVIES “I travelled those same roads as a Humboldt Bronco…”

By: Kelly Martin/ Bay of Quinte Total Sports

Former Trenton Golden Hawk and now a Prince Edward County resident, Joe Davies played for the Humboldt Broncos between 2011 and 1013. On April 16th, he attended a special ceremony in Wellington and talked to Bay of Quinte Total Sports on how the Broncos’ tragedy has affected him and his family. Joe’s mom Cathy also spoke to us as a “hockey mom” with a son and two daughters playing the game.

Q: Welcome Joe. How did you end up playing for the Humboldt Broncos?

A: Having played 2 years in Trenton with the Golden Hawks, I then decided I needed a change when I was traded to Humboldt while they were hosting the Royal Bank Cup. It was an easy choice for me as the coach took me under his wing and had me adjust to their style of play. It is a lot different there than here in Ontario. Many of the players were big strong farm boys out west. The community there was absolutely incredible, a lot like Wellington and Picton, the places where I grew up. That tragic accident has kind of brought me a little bit closer to home. It’s been pretty tough for me but the support everyone has given us has been incredible.

Q: Did you know any of the players or staff of the 201718 Broncos team?

A: The coaching staff, trainers and players have all changed with the exception of a couple of people in the front office.

The fans are still the same - incredible. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t shed some tears lately. My sister works at the hospital in Saskatoon and received a call that members of

the team were being brought in. She tried to call me while I was playing hockey in Germany, I was sleeping due to the time change but when I woke up she informed me of the tragedy. I was devastated to say the least. The bus rides out there are very long. I travelled those same roads as a Humboldt Bronco and that hit very close to home for me.

Q: What message do you have for the kids and the fans here tonight at the Dukes’ game who are grieving and trying to come to grips with this tragedy?

A: Just play with your heart and don’t let this make you afraid to take those chances. You don’t want to hold in emotions and miss opportunities. For the kids, just play and love the game. This tragedy isn’t something that is going to stop hockey at all but something that is just going to bring everyone closer together. It’s an unfortunate accident but with the support shown to date it has brought the entire country together. Humboldt is grieving. The people I have spoken to there are not doing well, but hopefully time will heal.

Q: What is your next career goal?

A: Hopefully to move up. I was playing in a lower-level league in Germany with the Limburg Rockets. I had a lot of fun and did fairly well so I’m really hoping to move up and continue to pursue my dream of playing professional hockey.

Well Joe, thank you for coming here tonight for this special presentation to remember the Humboldt Broncos. We wish you the very best in the future.

WATCHING LIKE A HAWK - WAYNE BARIL “Trenton Golden Hawks’ Greatest Super Fan!” By: Kelly Martin/ Bay of Quinte Total Sports

helping the kids and cheering them on. Getting to know them, helping them out. It is so much fun and rewarding. I have helped out for many years, and I will keep on doing it for our local teams and community until I’m an old guy. For those out there you should do it too. You will meet a lot of good people.

Q: Where else do you volunteer?

A: I sell Nevada tickets at Brighton Speedway for Quinte Access, which is a local not-for-profit transportation service.

Can a volunteer be a celebrity in the community? You bet.

Especially if you are Wayne Baril of Trenton.

Everyone knows the guy with the chicken dangling around his neck as he hangs over the glass at Trenton Golden Hawks’ games. It’s his joyful mission to pump up the home crowd, taunt the opposition and annoy visiting fans to the sound of that pounding drum beat. A fan favourite, to be sure. We caught up with Wayne at the volunteer banquet held by the Trenton Golden Hawks recently at the RCAF Banquet Centre.

Q: How old were you when you first began volunteering in sports?

A: That would be when I volunteered for the Bobcats Metro Junior B Team in 1979/80. I did the 50/50 for them.

Q: How long have you been a volunteer for the Trenton Junior A teams?

A: I’ve been volunteering for Trenton for more than 10 years. I worked for the Trenton Sting, for the late Peter Huff and John Gibbons. I’ve seen the team change hands several times and continued volunteering over the years.

Q: What is your favourite memory?

A: My favourite memory from the “Sting” was when the guys went up to Lindsay and in double overtime won the Buckland Cup. My favourite memory of the Trenton Golden Hawks was two years ago out west when they invited me to tag along. I had never been there before and I loved being there with the guys.

It was one of the best time of my life.

Q: Duncan Armstrong is a huge supporter of you. How do you know Quiinte West Councillor Armstrong?

A: I’ve known Duncan dating back to when he played football; he was an amazing football player. I was a big fan. Duncan got me involved with junior hockey.

Q: What advice do you have for people who are considering volunteering for community sports or community charities?

What will they get out of it that you feel has been rewarding to you?

A: You get so much out of volunteering for any sport, be it football, hockey, soccer, basketball, you name it. It’s about

Q: We know you are a huge Habs’ fan. How did that happen?

A: Oh, I’ve loved the Montreal Canadiens, going back into the 70’s watching the red, white and blue jerseys. I fell in love with Ken Dryden, Guy Lafleur, Jacques Lemaire and Steve Shutt, all those hockey greats. Going back about three years ago, I got to coach the Montreal Alumni Hockey team with Yvon Lambert as my head coach on the bench. I was the assistant coach.

I’ll never forget that - it was a lot of fun. I really thank a lot of people who were behind making that dream come true for me.

Q: How did the Humboldt Broncos’ tragedy affect you?

A: I found out the Friday night that it happened. It broke my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the staff, players, fans and the town. I’ve been on many buses with my hometown hockey teams…Bobcats, the Sting, the Hawks and many peewee rep and house league teams. It’s hard to imagine or even think about this tragedy. It makes you appreciate your life. It makes me want to keep volunteering.

HEALTHY SUMMER HAIR TIPS Submitted by: Aldo Poropat Summer is here, and the sun can really do a number on your hair.

Dull and frizzy is bad news for most women. After all, smooth, silky and healthy hair is not only more beautiful, but it can also boost self-confidence. The sun cannot really burn your hair, but exposure can easily damage its natural protective film.

Humidity affects the hydrogen bonds in your hair and to a lesser extent, the salt bonds. Consider following some tips to stop your hair from drying out.

Here are some suggestions to help protect your hair during summer: Stop using extra heat. The sun’s heat can damage your hair and make it frizzy on its own, so it’s best to stay away from things like hair dryers. If you have to use a blow dryer, use cold-air ones instead of heat dryers. Hot water can also cause damage, so always use lukewarm water to wash your hair in the shower.

Keep it trimmed. Split ends are a common form of hair damage.

But during summer, you’ll likely get more of them, and they’ll come more quickly. Split ends will make your hair look dull and damaged despite how you maintain it. Trimming your hair every 4-6 months can also help prevent split ends. There are also haircuts that keep them less visible. While there are shampoos available to reduce split ends, hair trimming is highly important.

Wear a “lid!” Excessive sun and pollution can be hard on the

locks, so try using a scarf, bandana, or a hat to provide some protective cover.

Don’t wash your hair every day. It’s a myth that washing your hair every day makes it cleaner and healthier. In fact, if you wash it daily, it will make your scalp turn even oilier. Three times a week is the meximum you need, especially during summer.

Drink more water. There is nothing better than water to protect your hair this summer. No one needs reminding about the effects of dehydration on your skin. Drink water every day. When you consume ample amounts of water, your body absorbs it and your scalp retains moisture and strength which protects your hair follicles.

Select your comb carefully. Choose a comb that has wide gaps rather than a fancy hair brush. Using a wide-gapped comb will untangle those stubborn knots without causing any hair fallout, and that helps protect the delicate hair follicles from the heat.

Treat it with oil. Yes, you read that right. Your hair needs that kind of pampering during summers, too. Gently massage your scalp with your favourite kind of oil (olive oil, rosemary oil and coconut oil are all good). Or you can always treat yourself to a relaxing pampering at the salon.

Use conditioner. Apply a good-quality conditioner that suits your hair. If you’re a swimmer, apply “leave-in” conditioner, and wear a cap if possible.

Capelli Salon has all the products you need to protect your hair this summer. Stop in to see us or book an appointment for all your hairstyling needs. Call us today at 613-394-3391.

Look well. Feel well. Be well.

Where style and passion are born.

ROLLER DERBY REVIVAL Belleville’s Bombshells bringin’ it back!

Submitted by: Belleville Bombshells

When most people think of women’s roller derby, they remember those famously intense and aggressive women of fifty years ago, racing around a banked track and fighting each other along the way. While roller derby is still a fullcontact sport, the focus is more on athleticism than theatrics these days. And today, an international comeback is on a roll, and even here in Belleville, women are breathing new life into an amazing sport. .

The Belleville Roller Derby (BRD) league began in the summer of 2013 in Tyendinaga. Forty wanna-be skaters who’d had nothing or very little to do with roller derby (some didn’t even know how to skate!) teamed up with a passionate coach whose mission was to help us learn the game and succeed. We learned the ropes together and supported each other through thick and thin - we really are a team in every sense of the word after five years. It’s a lot of work (as well as play!) to make this thing go. Sure, we come to practices, work hard on skills and drills, play the games, and so on. But skaters are also asked to work on committees that deal with all of the off-ice stuff - scheduling, marketing, sponsorships, and more. We’re not just playing games here.

We’re building a sport. Our team is a grassroots, not-forprofit organization governed by a member-elected board whose directors are also active skaters. It’s different from other sports, whose governing bodies are rarely comprised of players.

held by Wellington Roller Derby, where teams of various skill levels from all over Ontario “duke it out” on the track.

Later in the season, despite being four players short, we took home the championship at the first annual Twice as DRRD’y Tournament (B Division), held by Durham Regional Roller Derby.

We also participate in community events such as the Christmas and Pride Parades in Belleville, the Cancer Society Relay for Life, and the Foam Fun Run. We also have many internal social events like potluck bonfires, and most recently gathered at the 555 Brewing Company in Picton for a night of delicious pizza and drinks. We’re also having fun creating a 2019 Belleville Bombshells calendar (styled by Mrs. Rees of Mrs. Rees’ Vintage Beauty Parlor and photographed by JayBird Digital Arts). Wait for it! Roller derby is full of fun and fulfilling experiences both on and off the track. We make it a priority to organize and promote opportunities and events that bring us and our communities closer together. We always have a lot on the go.

Each year our team, the Belleville Bombshells, plays five or six games and occasionally participates in tournaments with other derby leagues in Ontario. Last May, we made it to the quarter-finals in the Winter Wipeout Tournament

We’re getting “amped” up for our new season. The Bombshells will be playing five games and defending our title at the tournament in Durham. This season, all our home games will be at the Duncan McDonald Memorial Arena in Trenton. Tickets are $10 (children 12 and under free). Season’s passes are 25$. You can buy tickets at Mrs. Rees’ Vintage Beauty Parlour, 69b Dundas St. East, Belleville, or at the door on game day.

We are also currently recruiting new skaters for our team.

in the Quinte Area, we have an annual introductory roller derby camp for anybody interested in joining. Training camp will be running this year on Mondays and Wednesdays from May through July. You start by learning the basics of roller skating and safety before moving on to derby skills, rules, strategies, and how to make and take safe hits. If skating’s not for you, then how about volunteering? We need game volunteers, or NSOs (non-skating officials) to keep track of the score, penalties, and so on. If you’re interested in volunteering or joining our training camp this summer, please contact us at bellevillerollerderby@gmail.com or by messaging us at our Belleville Roller Derby Facebook page.

GOLDEN HAWKS ALUMNUS NICK BODDY - Turning hockey success into a life plan Story by: Brock Ormond

the military,” Boddy explained.

He chose RMC for a number of other reasons, including the military’s close ties with the City of Quinte West.

“It is an elite school with an excellent engineering program, I will become an officer in the military and I get to play varsity hockey,” Boddy explained. “Our class sizes are small which creates a great learning environment and it really keeps things personal. We have a really great dynamic at the school and a camaraderie that you won’t get to experience in a larger university,” he added.

Throughout his junior career, the Richmond Hill, Ont. native was heralded for his “lead by example” attitude and his willingness to sacrifice for his team, traits which he says will suit him well at the next level.

“Since this is my first year, I am still learning lots about RMC and the military but eventually, and through my leadership training, I want to be a leader and role model to everyone joining after me. I want to be someone others can look up to both in school and in sports. I want to be able to provide the same leadership and guidance that I am receiving now from the senior students.” On the ice, the 21-year-old brings important championship experience to Kingston which he believes will be a big boost in the dressing room and maybe one day on the battlefield. “That experience became more about being part of a bigger team working towards a common goal, trusting each other and becoming like family,” Boddy explained. “That is what we have at RMC, both in sports and in school… and it will strengthen as we grow and move forward together as a group.”

The adjustment to university hockey - and military life - has largely been a smooth one for Nick Boddy.

The former Trenton Golden Hawks’ defenceman capped off a four-year Jr. A hockey career by winning his second straight Dudley Hewitt Cup Ontario championship in 2017.

Now, he’s off to start the next chapter of his life an hour east on the 401 in Kingston with the Royal Military College (RMC) Paladins. The Paladins have a long-standing tradition of combining elite-level sports with military duties and is one of the oldest university hockey programs in Canada, originating in the late 1800’s. When he visited, Boddy fell in love with the setup at RMC instantly.

“The facilities at RMC are beautiful. Some of the buildings are very old and historic. The grounds are scenic and overlook the water in downtown Kingston, which is within walking distance. We have residence buildings for all the students and we stay in dorm rooms like any other school setting. We eat in the cadet mess, we have a CANEX store on site and access to all the recreational facilities available to

10

Boddy credits his time in Trenton as well with developing who he is on and off the ice. “Moving to Trenton when I was 17 forced me to become independent and self-sufficient, which made my transition into RMC much easier and less overwhelming.” Jerome Dupont, Boddy’s coach for his three years in Trenton, had a lot to do with his development. “He taught me a lot about what it takes to be a good leader, and all of those experiences I had in Trenton will certainly help me moving forward at RMC.” RMC bench boss Richard Lim has been a similar kind of leader and coach at the university level, giving Boddy a chance to thrive in what can be a difficult situation for a first-year D-man.

“Coach Lim and the coaching staff at RMC have been amazing and I am continuously learning from them. I want them to be able to trust me as a player and know that I am reliable, responsible and will always be loyal to my team.”

GOLDEN HAWKS VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION DINNER BOQ Total Sports was there!

Boddy says he’d recommend RMC to any young hockey player who aspires to a career in the military. “It is challenging in different ways than other universities, but if you come prepared, know you have to work hard and accept challenges outside your comfort zone, then you will learn and grow and be successful.”

So how does an ex-junior hockey star turn a stellar career into a future full of promise? Just ask Nick Boddy.

Drifting - Don’t Miss Canada Day Long Weekend “Boonies Bash” BOONIES BASH CANADA DAY LONG WEEKEND

WELCOME TO THE 2018 SEASON

Shannonville has been home to many drift events over the last 10 years. Most drivers come from all over the country and even as far away as Texas to drive the Fabi/ Nelson circuit at Shannonville Motorsport Park.

For the last 6 years Shannonville has partnered with Toppdrift to host monthly events (April to October), open to both amateurs and professional drivers. Hosting open grassroots events brings the drifting community together into one circle.

Owner Jean Gauthier (Shannonville Motorsports Park) and Blake Trickey (Toppdrift) have set the goal of making their events the most affordable and fun in Ontario.

The annual event on the Canada Day long weekend known as “Boonies Bash” is the biggest event of the season, usually bringing more than 150 drivers together.

12

BOQTotalsportsmagazine.ca

If you’re interested in drifting you don’t want to miss this event. Drifting is a motorsport in which the driver uses the throttle, brakes, clutch, and steering input to keep the car in over steer while maneuvering from corner to corner. Drifters control the car by coordinating the amount of counter-steer (or opposite lock) with the simultaneous working of the throttle and brakes to shift the weight balance of the car back and forth through the turns. They do this while trying to stay close to “clipping points” (if drifting in competition) and maintaining extreme angles. What matters most in drifting is having fun, whether it’s competition or just practice.

But that has not stopped him from making it to most Wellington Dukes games, both home and away. He’s getting more confident every game as the volume of his cheering increases with every contest! Damon is following in the footsteps of his late grandmother Lula Miller, who has a seat reserved in her memory. Damon got a big kick out of watching the boys enjoy all but the ultimate success at the RBC Cup championship.

More than one humdred fans gathered for a BBQ at the ESSROC Arena in Wellington to sign a banner that would be sent with the Wellington Dukes to the RBC Cup Final.

The Dukes lost out in the final championship game but their Dukes Fans were still “Hometown Proud” ... what a season!

SPORTS MOM OF THE MONTH Sponsored by “FIT 4 HER” located at THE GYM - Trenton, ON

Meet Brenda ...

Brenda GreenEdwards, some would say, is the “Ultimate Sports Mom of Tyendinaga M o h a w k Territory”. She has inspired many young athletes on the reserve to become involved in lacrosse with the Tyendinaga Thunderbirds.

Brenda has supported her daughter Sakari in lacrosse by attending every game and practice. Sakari’s friend Haley is also very much like a daughter to Brenda, and she has given her the very same support as her own daughter. Brenda’s grandson Ryder is six-yearsold and has also developed a passion for the game. Ryder gets lots of guidance from his “Tota”

(grandmother), who not only only teaches rules and techniques, but also the ever-so-important history of Canada’s national game. Add to that her heavy involvement in fundraising for the organization, and her participation in the free clinics at the Quinte Mohawk School every Wednesday. Whether it’s teaching skills to kids, or talking to parents, lacrosse in Tyendinaga has no better friend than Brenda Green-Edwards.

This year Brenda is on Tyendinega’s lacrosse committee, which oversees teams from paperweight (the small ones) to midget (the big ones). She wears many hats for the organization… secretary, fundraiser, manager, and she even helps the team trainer. No wonder her husband Scott nominated her as our “Sports Mom of the Month!”

And in her spare time (!)…Brenda is an advocate for aboriginal men and women, and ran for Chief recently. She lost to Chief Donald Maracle, but, being the persistent sort that she is, she intends to run again.

Congratulations Brenda! You will enjoy a FREE Membership at “FIT 4 HER” in appreciation of all you do for kids in sports!

FIT 4 HER - Why Women Only?

BY: Terry Boyd - The GYM Trenton

Back in the early 1990’s my wife managed a number of women-specific circuit training gyms.

I’m not going to lie.

There was more than one time that I parked a bit down the street and tried to peek in to see what this new women’s-only gym was about. Admittedly, I was caught more than once trying to get close enough to at least hear what was going on.

There was upbeat music and laughter from the women who were training inside. I was a little more accustomed to “Thunderstruck” and “Hell’s Bells” and grumpy people waiting their turn to use equipment at the local gym. This women-only gym was definitely onto something, so I had some questions I wanted to ask.

I’m curious by nature and anything to do with gyms always catches my attention. My first question was why women only? In a day and age where political correctness is all the rage, how could a company get away with excluding men? The answer I received is that “businesses have the right to enact and enforce policies supporting their core function. In the case of gyms for women-only, women are catered to specifically (tone vs bulk).” I beg to differ on this one, knowing full well there are women who train with dumbbells and who deadlift as much as half the men I know. While I challenge the answer I got, there is a point to be made here. Some people are not comfortable training in an open gym where dumbbells are dropped, personal

bests on bench presses are achieved, and “Thunderstruck” and “Hells Bells” are playing. In fac,t there are gyms sprouting up all over that limit noise and even the weight of the dumbbell to discourage the hard core mentality.

My next question was how does a women’s-only gym work?

I was still in the dark, despite my surreptitious attempts to get the answers. Well, it’s not top-secret, and it’s definitely something the women were proud of and had ownership in. It’s a 30-minute total body workout using hydraulic equipment. This workout is designed for strength training, cardio and stretching; the big three in fitness, and all supervised by a coach. Best of all, this program caters to any level of fitness. From the new person who has never tried weights, to the more advanced member who pushes repetitions to the max, this training definitely works.

My last and most important question was why? Why train in a women’s-only gym? The reasons are many as I soon discovered. “It works,”I was told. Another said, “I’ve made friends here that will last the rest of my life.” Other reported reasons included “I’m not intimidated”, “I like that I can go at my own pace,” and my personal favourite, “ we are a family here.” That cinched it, FIT 4 HER was born.

We converted a portion of THE GYM and dedicated the entire section to hydraulic weights, music, coaches and and upbeat atmosphere - for women only. FIT 4 HER is for beginners, for the advanced, for strength, cardio and flexibility. It’s always a friendly atmosphere in a program that allows you to go at your own pace.

BP HOCKEY A “Bully Free” Environment Fun & Elite Hockey Submitted by: Chris Kornblum (BP Hockey)

It’s very common for groups to develop a code of conduct.

What’s not so common is for the group to have everyone abide by this code. Ignoring it is not an option. I live by it, and I expect everyone to do the same.

The code of conduct challenges everyone to take responsibility for themselves and the group’s well-being.

Being a team player means following the code of conduct and actively participating to ensure its evolution and ongoing relevance.

BP (Buddies and Pals) Hockey grew out of a childhood club we had as a family. The concept was simple; a buddy and a pal for life. The mission of BP Hockey? For five years, it has been dedicated to providing young participants with a fun and elite hockey experience that encourages sportsmanship and a love for the game through the development of players, coaches, and teams in a bully-free environment. My dream is to have every young participant take the buddies and pals concept and use it in their own lives.

With that in mind we have based our program on the following concepts:

Respect for All Persons Respect for all persons is not just about physical wellbeing. It is also about emotional and mental wellness. At BP Hockey I will provide and promote a safe, bully-free environment where all three are of the utmost importance.

Unfortunately, bullying is a part of our society…not just sports. My aim is a “bully-free” group. Thanks to current participants, the ground work has been laid. They have created the culture and passed on the appropriate standards. I really have no part in this. It’s just the way it is at BP. To me, being bully-free is more important than an overtime win, a beautiful goal, or an incredible new skill learned.

All members of BP Hockey matter to me, are equally important and are treated with fairness, respect and without regard for ethnicity, gender, social position or age.

Code of Conduct At BP Hockey the code of conduct (COC) defines the standards of behavior for group members. This includes: • • • • •

Communicate openly Players are “team” players Issues and ideas are shared with the group to make us better Use consensus for team decisions Parents actively participate in meetings

18

This code is more than words on paper. It’s growing. I always go back to it, remind myself about it, and review things to ensure it’s meeting the needs of the group.

Style of Play • • •

• • • • • • •

We are comfortable taking risks.

Players will be allowed to be creative on the ice.

Players will “push” the play. It’s a “move your feet” mentality, especially for defencemen. First pass…then move up ice. Pushing the play is a team tactic, not an individual skill.

We will be a fun group to play against. Teams will want to play us.

Team success will be measured by long-term player development, not by game results.

We will be accountable to ourselves and honest with each other.

We make mistakes and learn from them.

Goalies are supported 100% of the time. Without confident goalies no one improves.

Yelling at referees is a form of bullying and not tolerated.

On the ice players are encouraged to be risk-takers, which means mistakes will be made. Parents and coaches will be supportive of this style of play.

Player Development Player development within an appropriate environment is one of my primary goals. It’s also my aim that all members will help each other in a place where age doesn’t matter.

A shared love of the game and a sense of family will be nurtured to encourage all players to work together to sharpen their skills, share their knowledge and achieve their goals.

Coaches This isn’t just a hockey program. It’s a life skills group.

Success begins and ends with having the best educators possible to help our kids. Coaches and off-ice fitness instructors have the most important role in the success of BP Hockey, both as teachers and role models. Our program will strive to ensure that our youth are provided the most current “best”practices. No team is successful without good coaching.

Family Involvement • • • • • • •

•

•

One of the hardest things to do as a parent is to release or “let go” of your child to BP Hockey and the coach.

Parents: You cannot criticize or undermine the coach in front of your child.

You should not encourage your child to play the game the way you were taught.

By letting your child go, you are trusting the coach to do what’s best for him or her, and you are trusting the coach is familiar with the latest ideas in the game.

Don’t sacrifice your beliefs and values just so your son can play on the team.

Every year I have seen examples of players and parents becoming disillusioned with the coach as the season wears on. Constant positive communication with the coach will keep parents informed and help to ward off negativity.

Understand that the coach’s philosophy is very important prior to committing to the team. Sometimes the player quits, or simply endures that last few weeks or months and is miserable. I often think this could be avoided if the parents and coach communicate more effectively.

Hockey is a game of instinct. The ability to make good decisions both on and off the ice is what makes for good teammates and great friends. My goal is to ensure that mental awareness is a big part of the on-ice portion of the player’s growth. I want families to understand the importance I’m placing on teaching and learning both the physical and mental aspects of the game at BP. These are the ingredients for broadly-based growth and success.

The BP Hockey Way We want teams capable of competing for the championship every year.

BP Hockey has been a supportive and fun environment that has helped develop our players, coaching staff, officials, parents, fans, community members and visitors so they feel respected and valued.

I want BP Hockey’s reputation to reflect one of the most competitive, well-run and sportsmanlike organizations in Canada.

I continue to remind parents that they signed up to support and encourage all players. The player’s passion, desire and love will come from within.

I’ve established the BP culture and the standards that will guide us. In the end I go back to how I was raised, and what my parents taught us as kids…or how Lori and I raised our kids. When you make good decisions off the ice, the hockey part becomes easy for me. My goal is to get the players to the “next” level, where they can be a “good buddy”, and strong mentally and physically.

I’ve truly been blessed with BP Hockey, and I’m thankful to parents for their support and allowing me to “make a difference” in so many young lives.

Hockey is truly a team sport. So…finally a special thank you to all those who have been part of “my” team. To Lori, my kids Megan, Brendan, and Ryan, my parents Ted and Bev, and my sisters Teresa, Cindy, Amanda and spouses, and to my aunts, uncles and cousins. To my Ontario coaches Chris Wilson, Kevin Reed, Brian Kehoe, Joe Shunock, Marty Abrams, Ryan Woodward, Brian Christopher, and my Alberta mentors. One more special thanks to Brett Keyworth for being someone I’ve looked up to and who raises the bar “100%” for BP Hockey.

And to Joey over in the County… “Dial it in…” simply the best!

THE WELLINGTON DUKES - Quest for the Cup Story by: James Hurst

In many ways, the Wellington Dukes quest for the RBC Cup began years ago when a team called the Bobcats moved south across the Bay of Quinte to the village on Lake Ontario. The Bobcats had played out of Belleville, and Trenton.

But the owners of the team were ready to move them, and Wellington was ready to accept them. Garry Lavender was instrumental in the move, and he took on the mantle of General Manager for the new franchise.

The Dukes played in a variety of leagues for several years, and began the 2017-2018 season as a member of the Ontario Junior Hockey League, East Division. The Dukes finished the regular season in first place. It certainly was a bumpy ride to get there.

At the Christmas Break, the Dukes were cruising along leading the division. There had been changes to the coaching staff to begin the season, with Marty Abrams heading to Trenton. Team owner Michael Mulvihill had decided to sell a majority of the team to Ken Clement from Napanee. Randy Uens took over the job as the head of hockey operations.

At the Break, team management decided that something was amiss, and dismissed the coaching staff of Scott McCrory and his assistant Ryan Woodward. In early January, Uens contacted a couple of old friends to test their interest in coaching the Dukes. John Druce was busy with business in Peterborough, but he was a proven commodity. He had coached the Cobourg Cougars to the RBC title the previous spring in Cobourg. Derek Smith was in Belleville, and was contemplating his next move in the game. He realized he was close to the end of his playing career, primarily because he was battling the concussion syndrome. The other enticing reason to hire Smith was that he had played for the Dukes, and it was in his blood.

“Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I was about to be with this team right up to the final game of the RBC Cup” he told me recently after the season. “I wanted to stay involved with the game, and the move behind the Dukes’ bench made good sense. We really had no expectations for the season ahead. I met Randy at the arena in Wellington, on the second of January. That’s how it began.”

Following the regular season, the Dukes prepared to face the Pickering Panthers in the first round of the playoffs.

The Dukes were led by captain Colin Doyle, who was truly their best player. Daniel Panetta, Graeme McCrory, Dawson Ellis, and Mitchell Martin were more than willing to mix it up with the opposition. Ben Evans, Andrew Rinaldi, and Jackson Arcan were ready for some playoff action. Jonah Capriotti had earned the right to tend the goal for the Dukes.

The Dukes took the first two games, and appeared ready to move on to the second round. The Panthers had other ideas, and pushed the Dukes to seven games. In the second round, the Dukes faced Newmarket. They dropped the first two games to start the series, but rebounded to win game three. The Hurricanes won the next game, and the Dukes faced elimination, trailing three games to one. Wellington won the next three games, each by only one goal, to move on to the North East conference final against Aurora.

At that point, the Dukes added four key players to the roster: Josh Supryka, Frank Pucci, Andrew Barbeau, and Bryce Yetman.

The Dukes jumped out to a three games to one lead over the Aurora Tigers but had to win an overtime game in game six to move on to face the Georgetown Raiders, who had won the OJHL title the past two seasons. The Dukes won the first two games against the Raiders, then faltered badly the next two games. Capriotti played well to lead the Dukes to victory in the next two games to take the title.

The Dudley Hewitt Cup Championship took place in Dryden.

The Dukes played well in their first game against the hosts, but were defeated by the Ice Dogs. Following the round robin play, the Dukes again faced Dryden in the final. The result was different, and the Dukes won the title and the opportunity to play in Chilliwack, British Columbia for the Canadian Championship.

helping to put the structure in place. Some kids had their own ideas on how they wanted to play, and they had to adjust. We had many ‘heart to heart’ chats.

“All of our players were keenly focused in Chilliwack. It was a matter of eat, sleep, watch video, eat, play, sleep, watch the other teams play. Days were monotonous, but that is the nature of the beast. The kids made amazing adjustments to get to the final. It was a fabulous season.”

It was the third trip to the finals for the Dukes. Following the round robin format, the Dukes earned the right to face the Wenatchee Wild in the semi-final. Wellington scored early in the third period to take a lead they would not relinquish.

For the first time in history, the Dukes headed to the final.

The Chilliwack Chiefs were more rested than were the Dukes for the final game. The Dukes led the Chiefs going into the third period, but could not match the tempo of the Chiefs, losing 4-2 in the final.

Coach John Druce: “When we took over in January, none of us could have predicted such a run. Throughout the year, our kids face a lot of adversity. Derek did a great job for us,

TYENDINAGA THUNDERBIRDS The First Nation’s Cup Submitted by Tyendinaga Thunderbirds

The Tyendinaga Thunderbirds lacrosse team attended the First Nations Cup in Six Nations from May 11 to May 13, 2018. This is an all-indigenous tournament featuring teams from across Canada. Our team was able to offer some spots on our bench to some indigenous players from Onondaga. .

Tyendinaga came up against two different Six Nations teams and an Oneida team. Our peewees made it to the bronze medal game after beating Six Nations 3. Our team played hard and fast, employing amazing strategy in our final third game. Our goalies, Peyton Brant (Tyendinaga) and Darrien Doolittle (Onondaga) made some great saves to get us into the playoffs.

Our young players demonstrated great skills in winning the bronze medal game 18-2. Joey Doggett got the first goal of the game as well as his first goal of this season! Tehentsyakhwa Brant scored several goals during the tournament. Rodney Maracle was outstanding defensively, saving our goalie several times by running down his opponent and stopping them from shooting on our net! Thanks to the Onondaga players for working well with all of our team. It was our first tournament of the season and we are very proud of our team for bringing home a medal!
