SVR Major Peewee Rapids Takes Their Game to the Pool Hall ®

Sumitted Article

“Hockey isn’t just about going out onto the ice and winning or losing a game.

It’s about meeting people, connecting with them, and figuring out how to work together. One of the best parts about playing hockey is the friendships you make with the teammates you are on the ice with.” Coach Pete Seguin of the Seaway Valley Major Peewee Rapids explains this is why he likes to organize social events for his players. “Events like Paint Ball and Laser Tag are always fun for the kids, and it gives them an opportunity to hang out in an environment that has nothing to do with ice, pucks, and skating.”

Over the Christmas break, Seguin organized such an event with the help of Doug Disotel, owner and operator of Rack ‘Em Up Billiards. Following a team practice, the team headed to the pool hall for a team pool tournament and pizza.

“Some of the boys had never played pool

before, so it was a fun evening of trying the game out. Some of the boys were actually pretty good players, maybe even future pool sharks!” says Seguin.

At the end of the knock-out tournament evening, Coach Pete awarded the last players standing with prizes. Noelan Spink won top prize, a pool cue and case donated by Disotel. Cameron Fraser and Roan Maclennan finished second and third respectively and each won an NHL team toque.

A special thank you goes out to Disotel for welcoming the SVR Peewee players into his pool hall. “I know Doug from our days of working at Kraft in Ingleside.

When I found out he owned Rack ‘Em Up, I started taking my own sons there once in a while for a game of pool, just for something different to do. Doug was great to let my sons try their hand at the game. I talked to him about my idea of taking my team there to play pool, and he was all for it. I think it’s fantastic that he was willing

to let a group of young teens take over his space for an evening and try something that might end up being a great past time when they grow older,” says Coach Pete.

“The pool tournament was a great way to do some team bonding, to just hang out and have fun together.”

“It was fun winning a prize, but the best part was to get to play pool with my teammates!”

Lost Village Ninth Annual Ice Fishing Tournament

By Molly Kett

H

oople Creek is built on top of foundations, fence lines and pieces of a place once been, hence the name “Lost Village.” The Lost Village Annual Ice Fishing Tournament will be held on February 13, starting the fishing portion at 9 a.m. and finishing at 1 p.m.

But the fishing isn’t the only part of the tournament.

Claude Collette, owner of Collette’s Ice Hutt Rentals and Ron Brunet, the hosts, have much in store for the participants.

After the fishing segment, the prizes are given away at river’s edge.

“It’s a $5000 cash giveaway for

different sizes of fish,” says Collette, “pike, pickerel, perch, and lunker. Then there are giveaways and donations from different people, like our sponsors.

After the tournament, we have a $1000 winner takes all at O’Neill’s Pub in Long Sault and that includes a fish shack, three vouchers worth $100, a couple of cash prizes, and a few other prizes that total a little over $1000. We’re going to get a good crowd there.”

Collette is very excited for the 9th year of his fishing tournament. “It’s an annual event and we look forward to it.

It takes a little bit of preparation. We all are kind of the redneck-type group around here so yeah, it’s a good party,” says Collette.

Cornwall Colts Edition…Greg Esdale

By Molly Kett

G

reg Esdale grew up just north of Cornwall on his parent’s farm. He played minor hockey in South Stormont as well as with Seaway Valley. His hockey history includes one season with the Cornwall Colts, two years with the Elmira Sugar Kings, followed by three years at the University of Waterloo. His family now lives in South Stormont, on the same farm where he grew up.

His year with the Colts was in their inaugural season of 19921993 before he headed off to university. After the Royals left Cornwall, the Colts moved to Cornwall from Massena. Esdale recalls having quite a few local players on the team and having a great season. Jean Payette was the coach that season and Don Derry the team owner. Esdale played most of the season as a winger with Dru Burgess and Travis Mercer.

His first hockey memory is playing early morning house league hockey at the old arena in Long Sault. “I could skate well and get lots of breakaways but the puck didn’t always go in the net. I broke my ankle one year and missed a lot of hockey so I wasn’t too happy remembers Esdale. about that,” says Esdale.

His favourite memory as a Cornwall Colt was being a part of the team in their first season, in his rookie season playing junior hockey in Cornwall. “It was a big change from playing minor hockey and fun to be a part of.

We had a strong team that season and competed well in the league,”

Esdale was drafted out of Midget AA the season prior to the Colts and was lucky enough to make the team. He says it was great to be able to live at home and play hockey with the local junior team.

After his season with the Colts, Esdale went on to study Civil

Engineering at the University of Waterloo, graduating in 1998. After graduation Esdale was able to earn a position as an engineer with MS Thompson and Associates in town.

“I still work with the company today although we are now called WSP. I married my wife Cindy in 2001 and we have three kids Jake (11), Sarah (8) and Abby (2).”

Now, Esdale is involved in coaching his children’s minor hockey. “Sarah plays with the Cornwall Typhoons and Jake plays with the Seaway Valley Rapids.

Hockey is a great game and we are very happy our kids are able to experience the great memories of playing hockey,” says Esdale.

Hockey Scouts Say “It’s All in the Head”

By Molly Kett

G

iles Lascelle, co-founder of Cornwall’s Ontario Hockey Academy (OHA) knows what scouts are looking for in hockey players.

What it comes down to, in many ways, is the fixed mindset versus growth mindset.

“Watching players develop and grow their game, I always notice the difference between players and parents with a fixed mindset versus ones with a growth mindset,” says Lascelle. “Coaching players through the years, you see similarities with your best players. Top athletes are always looking for ways to improve, no matter whether they are having a lot of success or struggling to grow their game.”

Lascelle says players with a growth mindset are never totally satisfied and are always trying to be a little better with their game with each passing day.

He compares this growth mindset, which scouts favour, over the fixed mindset. Lascelle says the fixed minded players attempt to hide

Spring

their weaknesses as opposed to the growth mindset player who works diligently to improve them.

“After all, hockey is a game of mistakes, and if these fixed mindset players and parents can’t react well after making a mistake, it will have a negative effect on their play as well as that of the team,” says Lascelle.

“Everyone becomes so laser-focused on performance outcomes, wins and losses, goals and points; when the teams not winning they are quick to make excuses or lay blame on others.”

Lascelle says that many parents and players correlate winning games and scoring as player improvement.

Sometimes this is true, but not always.

“When I ask our junior players and graduates that are playing in NCAA hockey, how can we further improve players for the next level, the most common answer I receive is mindset,” says Lascelle. “The mindset is not always easy to train or even further to change, but it is the key to success in the future, on and off the ice. There is no doubt our best players have a growth mindset.”

Great Response to Stick and Puck Program at the Benson Centre

By Victoria Klassen

T

he drop-in Stick and Puck program offers children under 14 years old the opportunity to practise their hockey skills. It has been running at the Benson Centre for four years, said Lorne Taillon, the leisure arts co-ordinator.

Any child with full hockey equipment, accompanied by an adult wearing skates and a helmet, can participate. Children do not need to be registered in minor hockey— everyone is welcome.

“The response was great. People seemed to really like it and appreciate the program,” says Taillon. “So we just added more and more of them.

Now we’re pretty much on a weekly basis.”

The Stick and Puck program runs most Saturday and Sunday mornings at 9 a.m. until the end of March. Starting in February, a new

Junior Stick and Puck program will be offered for youth, aged eight and younger, on select Saturdays at 8 a.m.

“It’s not a scheduled practice, it’s just beneficial health-wise for physical activity, and it’s a good idea to work on skills; and it’s some time to spend with mom or dad on the ice,” says Taillon.

The cost for the Stick and Puck program is $5 a person. There is a maximum ratio of one adult to two children on the ice.

“Whenever you start a program, you hope that people will like the program and participate,” says Taillon. “Whenever I’m in on those days, and I see kids out there skating, and everybody smiling and having fun—that’s good enough for me.”

Taillon says if you have a program idea for the Benson Centre, on or off the ice, to contact him at 613-9389898 ext. 2.

What is your Favorite Sports Memory?

Roddie MacKenzie and Wally MacDonald

Coaches Roddie MacKenzie and Wally MacDonald of the CharLan Bantam Rep team agree that you can’t beat the story of the run their boys had throughout the month of November, despite 5 players sitting out with injuries. With only 10 skaters, the Rebels rallied to log 42 goals for, and allow 22 goals against; skating away with 5 wins and 2 ties. Especially exciting was the road game in Smiths Falls against the West’s first place team. Forward Xandre Seguin scored 5 goals, leading his team to a huge 5-2 victory over the Bears.

MacKenzie and MacDonald commend the team on the effort and heart shown throughout a tough month of play. It is the boys’ commitment to the game that has them sitting a mere 3 points behind the first place team in the Bantam Rep East division.

n September 1897, the local paper reported the town of Cornwall was over-run with thugs and highwaymen. The citizens were in an uproar after separate incidents on September 13th and 14th when one man was stabbed and another held up at gunpoint.

The Roach brothers, Joseph and Peter, were involved in a fight with some tramps in the northern part of the square mile and, when the dust settled, Joseph had been stabbed in the back and his brother robbed of $18.

The tramps met up with Milles Roches resident Joseph Boileau who was heading to the GTR station to catch a train home.

Boileau was clubbed to the ground and, while a second thug pointed a knife at his throat, robbed of his train fare of $5 and his watch.

The scene caused quite a stir and that’s when local lacrosse star Billy Broderick entered the fray.

Broderick and a friend James Madden went after the ‘Highwaymen’ and chased them into the woods north of the GTR station. Two of the robbers were captured, the knife recovered,

but the third man with the watch, escaped.

The prisoners were turned over to the town police.

The next day, Broderick went to the train station to meet a young man from Montreal’s Hibernian Lacrosse Club. Upon arrival, Broderick found the lad in a state of shock and learned that a ruffian from Montreal, also on the train, had led him down a side lane and, at the point of a revolver, he was made to hand over his watch.

The thief was described and Billy Broderick again went into action; rounding up the Montreal ‘tuff’ and handing him over to the police. However, the frightened victim did not stick around and disappeared before authorities could speak with him.

Billy Broderick was the son of James B. Broderick and Bridget McElligott. Referred to as one of Cornwall’s top lacrosse players, he played for Cornwall during the days of the famous Shamrocks team. Billy Broderick died at the age of 64 in Montreal—a local lacrosse legend and official “Good Samaritan” during the month of September 1897.

home from Peterborough. This year, Tyler continues to be a role model on and off the field. Congratulations, Tyler.

Kadrae Wright, grade 12 student at SLSS, is a dominant presence on the basketball court and was named to the Tournament All Star team during a tournament in Brockville pre-Christmas.

His coach, Jamie Carr, states “not only is Kadrae one of the most talented basketball players in Eastern Ontario, but he is also one of the hardest working as well. His offensive skills are second to none. Combined with his defensive abilities and his leadership, Kadrae is a special talent.” Coach Carr is not the only one who believes in Kadrae’s ability.

Currently, Wright is being scouted by St. Lawrence College, Kingston, to play varsity basketball. Wright would like to study either Police Foundations or heating and refrigeration in college and his academic effort and results will get him there, as he has worked hard to achieve solid marks in his graduating year.

Massey Gabrielle Bowen Novice A

Gabrielle Bowen plays defence for the SVR Novice team.

She works hard to sharpen her defensive skills and has become quite the force to reckon with in front of the net!

Gabrielle has learned how to effectively tie up the player looking for a pass to get by her goalie, and she is improving her work at the blue line each time she is out on the ice. Gabby cheers for the Montreal Canadiens and her favourite NHL player is defenceman PK Subban. Her favourite colour is blue and she loves Kraft Dinner. Besides playing hockey, Gabrielle likes to do gymnastics. When she grows up, she wants to be a teacher

Mikael was the captain of the Novice Alexandria Glens last year and is enjoying his first season as a member of the Seaway Valley Rapids. His favourite team is the Chicago Blackhawks and he tries to pattern his game after his favourite player Patrick Kane.

His favourite meal is spaghetti and his favourite restaurant is Subway. When Mikael is not playing hockey he can be found playing soccer and riding his four-wheeler.

Curtis Bowman

Jamieson Miles

Major Atom AA

Minor Minor Peewee Bantam AA AA

Hustler of the Month for the Seaway Valley Rapids Major Atom AA team is #33 Antoine Lafrance. He is in his third year of playing for the Rapids. Antoine can play any position and always does what is best for his team. He played defence his first two seasons, then this year he started playing centre, but he is now patrolling the blue line again. He embodies the definition of Hustler with his hard work, drive, and tenacity which is present at every game and practice. He is a highly skilled player with great speed, great checking, with a great backhand shot. His hockey sense is off the charts for a ten-year-old. When he has the chance, he loves to rush the puck, but is always the first guy to come back.

His favourite hockey team is the Montreal Canadiens. Antoine is a pleasure to coach!

Jamieson in his second year with Seaway!

He has come a long way with major improvements to his game since joining the Rapids.

He is a right-handed shooter with great eye/hand co-ordination due to his joy of golfing during the summer months. Jamieson is learning to use this skill to improve his scoring touch, plus he is becoming more and more responsible in the defensive zone which gives confidence to the coach to put him out there at any point. He’s also becoming more intense and more physical if he gets the chance. Keep it up Jamieson….your hard work will pay off.

Hunter MacPherson

Zenan Biron

Minor Peewee AA

Major Peewee AA

Major Bantam AA

Major Midget AA

Roenick Jodoin was chosen as this months hustler of the month.

Roenick plays for the minor pewee AA as a centre man. He gives a hundred and ten percent every game as well as every practice. You can catch Roenick always flying down the ice a top speed...he consistently passes his puck to his teammates and always works hard. Roenick is hard along the boards always battling and never giving up. Roenick’s favorite hockey team is Chicago Blackhawksand his favorite player is Jonathan Toews! Keep up the great work Roenick! Truly a team player!

Curtis Bowman plays centre for the SVR Major P e e w e e Rapids. He is a two-way player who demonstrates a great work ethic. He skates hard and brings intensity to the ice, whether in practice or at a game, that is infectious. From the Inkerman area, Curtis travels at least one hour to practise and play on home ice with the Rapids team. Despite the drive, Bowman arrives to each practice on time and ready to work on his hockey skills. He consistently puts forth a full effort on the ice. Great work, Curtis!

Hunter is a player who reads the game well. He is a versatile player and can play all 3 zones. He loves to battle the puck along the boards a n d in the corners. His hard work and fierce tenacity help him win many battles, plus he can hit like a tank. He is a diligent, enthusiastic, determined player who means business.

When he’s not on the ice, he is working very hard at home on his family’s dairy farm.

Hunter is a grade 9 student at GDHS, and plays on most of his school’s sports teams. Hunter has also competed in the intermediate heavy events at the Maxville Highland Games, and, yes, he can toss the caber.

Zenan Biron shows up every game and every practice with a smile and a readiness to learn. He’s an aggressive hockey player who uses his rather large frame to its full advantage. Zenan loves to mix it up in the corners and provides a strong net presence for us in the offensive zone. His level of compete is never in question and his puck battles in the corners are epic. I think his reach with the stick is probably about 9 feet and he uses every inch of it to his advantage on the back check and in the defensive zone. He has been a pleasure to work with this year and a great team mate on and off the ice. Great Job big Z.

Strength and Conditioning for Boxers and Athletes Should boxers lift weights? Do boxers lift weights?

By Jorge Luis

I

seem to have a reputation as an old school guy and trainer. In fact I am. So, should boxers weight train or to use the more popular term, do strength and conditioning? The answer to that is -Yes! Simply put, a stronger athlete is a better athlete...

Period. However the strength training has to be functional to the relative sport and must meet the demands of the sport. I hear, all the time, cardio is overrated and not necessary. Weight training will cover everything. Not true.

Anyone who says that has never been inside a ring or cage and actually fought. Trust me, if you have no cardio you get defeated and quickly. As the old adage goes “fatigue makes cowards of us all”.

A boxer cannot strength train like a body builder. A boxer does not want to have flaring lats and monster traps and big bulging biceps. It looks good and you do get bigger and stronger, but it is not applicable to boxing nor is it functional. If your opponent is going to make your heart rate accelerate and make you gasp for air, it only makes sense to make this happen in training. Cardio is not only running or cycling or swimming but performing the activity you’re training for at a pace and rate to make you feel the stress; stressing the athlete mentally and physically the way he will be stressed in an actual bout. Train hard = fight easier.

lifting movements for boxers like heavy squats, bench press, and dead lift all in an explosive manner. Olympic-style lifting, like clean and jerk and snatch as well.

They are explosive and use many groups of muscles at once. They increase tendon strength. I also quite like sledge hammer work for fighters. It works the grip, hands, forearm, core, and legs...and taxes the cardio. Flipping tires, pushing and pulling a weighted sled, and of course body weight exercises such as pull-ups, pushups, squats, burpees, etc. work strength and cardio. Many feel running does not transfer its benefits over to the ring or cage. Well next time you watch a boxing match or MMA match watch how many steps they take and how much they move during the course of the match. Running prepares the legs in a functional way that cannot be duplicated by any machines.

I advocate training with free weights, not machines, as much as possible, unless you have a particular weak muscle group you want to isolate and develop.

I was once or twice told that weight training would cut my boxers’ training in half. In other words more time in the weight room translates to less time in the boxing gym....Not true. A fitness guru once told me a boxer should only run 1 maybe 2 times a week; train on techniques 2-3 times a week, max 1 - 1.5 hours and weight train 3-4 times weekly 1.5 - 2 hours. Is something wrong with this picture? The emphasis is on weights and strength.

The great trainer, Emanuel Steward, of Detroit MI, who ran the famous Kronk Gym and produced 7 or 8 world champions from scratch, told me when he trained Evander Holyfield, that’s how he trained. Cardio was done on machines; strength training was done almost daily. Evander sometimes came to the boxing I personally advocate for power gym and refused to spar and

work the bag because he was too sore and tired from strength and conditioning. Emanuel cut the weight training to 2-3 times a week, roadwork “outside” became regular 3-4 times a week and training in the boxing gym was 5 times a week 1.5 - 2 hour sessions.

One day off in the week, 1 day off on the weekend. Evander flourished, actually gained weight, and regained his title against Riddick Bowe. Emanuel was partial to the old school ways but felt a stronger athlete was a better athlete.

However strength training does NOT take the place of actual skills training and practise on targets and in the ring; using your muscles the way you will use them in the ring or the cage. And roadwork is Road-Work...meaning working out on the road, jogging, stopping to shadowbox, doing some sprints, some pushups, and sit-ups, then continuing running, running backwards, forwards, side to side. Use your legs in training the way you will use them in the ring. Makes sense!? Guess what, the old time boxers like Joe Luis, Rocky Marciano, and Ali all trained like this. Many old timers dug ditches, hauled bundles of shingles, chopped wood, and used a hammer and a saw. They worked by day, trained by night, jogged in the morning before work. One example of this was Marvelous Marvin Hagler, who worked construction by day and trained at night ‘til he became World Champion. He built functional strength and was built like a brick house.

Remember weights are great, but not the only way to build strength. Improvise; get stronger doing what you’re doing. Strength training helps but does not replace technical skill training and practise with partners, bag and mitt work, and shadow boxing to correct mistakes picked up by the coach in sparring and shadow boxing, and

11

roadwork to ensure you will be able to endure and go the distance.

Strength and conditioning are supplements to the overall picture, not the focus of training.

Remember “perfect practice makes perfect performance”.

Strive for perfection.

In closing...I want to wish all sports and fight fans a Happy, Healthy and Fulfilling New Year.

Reach for your dreams and never give up. Be all you can be and strive to be the best. You will never know if you don’t try.

Find out what you are made of and how far you can go. Many thanks to the City of Cornwall, our great City Council, and the Parks and Recreation Department for extending Champs Eastside Boxing’s contract. Thank you, for giving us a chance and our youth an opportunity to excel. To my recreational members strive to be your best, to my competitors reach for your dreams, don’t be afraid to try. Let’s make it our best year ever. To Tony, my son, may your dreams come true. Let’s win a World Title and not just fight for one. To my friends and family many blessings and thank you, and last but not least Thank You to my wife, Elaine for putting up with me and this crazy life boxing is.

Just a short addition- Jorge, it may be a crazy and hectic life at times but one that I embrace and truly enjoy...it isn’t only my love for you that keeps me involved but my passion for combat sports (which was there long before you came along) and for making a difference in the lives of those we train. There is nowhere I would rather be - looking forward to the year ahead and many more adventures.

Happy New Year One and All Yours in youth and all combat sports

NGS Bantam C Braves win in Spencerville

By Staff Writer

T

he NGS Bantam C Braves prevailed in an intense A final championship game to win the South Grenville Minor Hockey Tournament on January 10.

The victory was celebrated after the culmination of an exciting, penalty-filled match ... a shootout victory over the host Rangers. In the championship game, Beau Watkins scored with 13 seconds remaining in the first period to give NGS a 1-0 lead. Liam Ault assisted the tally. After leading for most of the final, the Braves were forced to play into overtime after South Grenville knotted the score at 1-1 with 5:38 remaining. The game moved to a 4-on-4 overtime period, and remained tied after that session. Next up was 3 on 3. The Braves survived a penalty shot infraction during this period and the game was sent to a shootout. The Braves won the tie-breaker 3-1.

“The game had it all,” said Coach Todd McIntyre. “Three periods of intense hockey full of penalties. Overtime. A penalty shot. A shootout. Our goaltending was fantastic all day.”

South Grenville was assessed 13 minor penalties in the game while NGS had 9, as well as the penalty shot infraction during the 3-on-3 overtime session.

Daniel Cantin and Nathaniel Noel teamed up in goal to lead their team to the title.

To open the tournament, the Braves defeated Ottawa Centre 5-2. Watkins scored twice and singles went to Ault, Joshua McIntyre, and Brayden Casselman. Caleb Raymond scored two, Zachary Eamons and McIntyre each had assists.

In their second game, the Braves faced the West End Hockey League (Ottawa) Muskrats and skated to a 7-2 win.

Watkins led the charge once again with four goals and an assist. McIntyre potted two goals and Ault rounded out the scoring for NGS. Adding assists were Raymond, Kate Kelly, Joey Beugger; with two, Ault and Casselman.

Novice Rapids Start 2016 with a Winning Streak

By Carrie Seguin

J

MARCH

ust three days into the New Year, the SVR Novice Rapids were on the road to visit the Nepean Raiders. Coming off their tournament win in St. Catharines, the Rapids were ready for play; but the Raiders, who are close behind the Seaway team in league standings, weren’t going to give up a win easily. At the end of first period play, the game remained scoreless. During second period action, SVR was first to hit the score board with two goals within 40 seconds of each other. The Raiders answered back with a goal of their own, but the Rapids widened the gap with another just seconds later.

Third period game play was intense with both teams finding themselves in penalty trouble, however strong penalty killing by both teams resulted in no power play scoring. The Raiders pocketed the only goal of the third period. The Hydro One final score of the game was 3-2 for SVR. Points were earned by Tristan Delisle, and Zachary Carroll. The Villeneuve Group of Businesses Player of the Game was earned by defenceman Warren Lalonde. He worked especially hard in the third period to keep the Raiders from capitalizing during three separate power play opportunities.

The following weekend, the Raiders visited the Rapids on home ice in Maxville. The Nepean team attacked the net fiercely during the first minutes of play, scoring a quick one off the bat. Toward the end of the period, the Rapids evened things up with a goal of their own. Period two was scoreless as the net minders defended their creases solidly. Early in the third period, the Raiders scored to push them ahead by 1, but, taking advantage of Nepean penalty trouble, the Rapids scored two power play goals to tie and take the lead. With less than 4 minutes left in the game, the Raiders were awarded a penalty shot, however goalie Eli Seguin stopped the five-hole attempt. The Raiders continued to work hard to tie the score up, but the Rapids scored another putting them ahead by 2. In the final seconds of the matchup, Nepean scored to bring them to within 1, but time ran out and the Rapids skated away with the win. Rapids goals were scored by Owen McMillan, Jenson White, and Delisle. Assists were awarded to Owen Corput, Alex Delormier, Chancey Novosad, Delisle, and White. The Hydro One final score of the game was 4-3. Chancey Novosad was named the AJ Sports Player of the Game for his tenacious effort at manning the blue line and clearing the puck out of

the Rapids’ zone.

January 16th saw the Rapids face off against the Kanata Blazers, a team they have been battling with for second place over the last months of league play. Toward the final minutes of a back-and-forth first period, the Rapids got one past the Blazers’ goalie to put them in the lead. Just under 2 minutes into the second period, the Kanata team cracked the Rapids’ net and tied things up. Game play continued in a ping-pong fashion with the Rapids netting another goal and then the Blazers scoring just afterward. By the end of the second period, the score was tied at 3. Third period belonged to the SVR team: the Rapids offence notched 4 goals and the defensive squad allowed nothing past them. The Hydro One score of the game ended 7-3 in SVR’s favour. Delormier, Parker Thompson, and Delisle scored for the Rapids team. Delormier also logged 3 assists. Delormier’s offensive pressure and team play earned him the J. Bernier Excavations Player of the Game.

With this three game win-streak to start the back end of the season off, the SVR Novice team again find themselves tied with the Kanata Blazers for second place in league standings, and only 7 points behind first place Gloucester Rangers.

What does Collette like so much about fishing? “I guess the sport of it all, just trying to figure them out,” says Collette. “Out here, with the shacks and everything, you kind of talk to everybody and there’s kind of a community thing here. Word gets around pretty fast on the river here.”

His earliest memory dates back to when he was 5 or 6 years old, “fishing underneath the copper dam at Loch Garry, there were just thousands of minnows there and it just inspired me ever since then. My school teacher, Fran Laflamme, God bless her soul, she got me going onto doing something you want to do with your life, so I wrote a poem on it in grade nine, still have it, full of errors and spelling,” says Collette.

This inspiration stayed with Collette all through his life. His favourite fishing memory up until now, Collette says is hard to pinpoint, as he’s got so many.

“When fishing you never know day-to-day what a memory is going

to be about, whether it’s a big one, or the one that got away, or a sighting, or one of your friends catching a big fish and you’re happy for them,” says Collette. “They’re all good memories.”

Collette has had several jobs including farming, trapping, and engineering at Domtar for 32 years.

“I had bought a bait and tackle shop as a sideline from working as an engineer at Domtar,” says Collette. “I decided to put out my own personal shack, and lo and behold I was able to rent it from the shop and so I built 8 and then I built another 20. Bought some here, fixed some there and started this business, being that there were no other shacks at one time, out here where we are right now; to a point where there’s, in a good year, 70 and a year like this maybe 50.”

Winter fishing is by far Collette’s favourite. “Just the hard ice, being able to walk all over and just the cold weather I guess heritage maybe from the Collette line. Winter just impresses me most of all, of all seasons,” says Collette.

Of course, Collette’s favourite place to fish is Hoople Creek, where he grew up and eventually grew a business. “Our fish are getting bigger, it’s getting more notoriety,” says Collette. “Don’t forget this is brand new since 1958, so this was farmland, not fishing territory so it’s all brand new.”

Rafeek Mohamed Talks Multisport

By Molly Kett

R

afeek Mohamed has been with the Cornwall Multisport Club for 10 years or so, but his interest in Multi-Sport began a little unconventionally.

“I started running while in elementary school because I wanted to play lunchtime cricket and soccer.

I also had to go home for lunch and I’d miss the game, so I began running home for lunch and back to school as fast as I could to get more play time,” says Mohamed. “At that time I was interested in cricket and soccer but my daily running routine improved my running. I continued running since then and when I moved to Cornwall and joined the Cornwall Multisport club I began doing other events like biking and so on.”

Mohamed says he joined the club for group fitness. He participates in a number of events, including biking, running and Duathlon.

“I run for fun, fitness and sometimes for competition. The Multisport club has about 350 members who have the same interests, so it’s a really nice group of people who enjoy the same things I do,” says Mohamed.

His favourite part of participating in Multisport is doing so with family.

“My wife also enjoys doing the same type of activities.” says Mohamed.

“When I go for a long bike ride it is more enjoyable when she joins me.

She also joins me for running, hiking, or snowshoeing.”

The couple stays very active, even when they travel. They have hiked 9 of the 46 high peaks of the Adirondacks, the Gros Piton in St.

Lucia, and Mt. Cotopaxi in Ecuador.

Mohamed also does trail running, and snowshoe running.

Mohamed says the club is important, as it provides an environment for people with similar interests to meet and enjoy activities together as a group. The Cornwall Multisport club arranges activities for all ages, including children.

“It’s important because many people may not participate if there isn’t a group to support and encourage them along. The club provides coaching sessions and there is a learn-to-run program that is done once a year. Last year there were 30 new members who joined the club as a result of the learn-to-run program.

It’s a great way for beginners to get started,” says Mohamed.

Coming up next is a big event on April 30, 2016, the Cornwall Run to End MS, in which he will participate, in either the full or half marathon.

After recent retirement, Mohamed decided to give back to the club, participating on the executive and helping to arrange or volunteer at some club events.

His further involvement granted him a memorable and unique experience. Earlier this year during the Pan Am Games he was selected to be a torch bearer, the torch travelled from Mexico to Toronto. When it passed through Brockville, he was one of the participants who carried the torch through the city. “It was a fun and memorable experience.” says Mohamed.

Seaway Valley Rapids Major Atom AA

By Johanne Sullivan

A

fter participating in the Bell Capital Cup over the holidays, the Seaway Valley Major Atom AA team returned to league play on Sunday, January 3rd in a game sponsored by AXXIS Optical. The Rapids were facing a surging Silver Seven, but it was a must-win for the Rapids to be ensured a spot in the playoffs.

The boys did not disappoint. Assistant Captain Marco McCarthy got the first goal of the New Year assisted by Ethan Montroy and Braxton D’alessio. The Silver Seven tied it in the second period, but D’alessio put one in the net on a pass from defenceman Thomas Shoniker.

The Silver Seven were able to convert on a power play to tie it up, but Ben Pilon managed to sneak one in past the goalie. The Rapids were leading by 1 going into the third period, but the Silver Seven tied it in the first minute and a half of play. Despite suffering three penalties in the third, the Rapids were able to kill all three and managed to score when Captain Carson Martin connected with defenceman Shonniker and Assistant Captain Jonah Ashby. The Rapids did just enough to win against the Silver Seven with a final score of 4-3 with goalie Mathieu Sauvé earning the win.

in a game sponsored by The Cutting Edge. The Rapids again opened the scoring when Jett Jock bounced one in on a pass from Jimmy Sullivan.

The boys were on fire and scored three more times in the first period.

Brennan Lashomb scored unassisted, followed by the lethal combination of Montroy and McCarthy who connected twice for two more goals.

The Rapids were leading 4-1 going into the second period. The only goal in the second period went to the Blazers who narrowed the gap to two.

In the third, the Rapids got a quick goal from D’alessio with an assist from Assistant Captain McCarthy.

The boys then let down and allowed Next, the Rapids travelled to the Blazers to even it up, but Assistant Ottawa to face the Kanata Blazers,

Captain Ashby skated from the blue line to sail one past the goalie at the eight minute mark. The Rapids were then able to hang on to the win for a final score of 6-5.

The Rapids then had to face the second-ranked Nepean Raiders in a game sponsored by Peter Bonamassa Electric. During the first period, the Raiders scored four unanswered goals. The Rapids didn’t wake up until the second period when D’alessio scored assisted by Jock.

D’alessio again scored unassisted in the third period. His effort was for naught since the Raiders were able to convert on three power plays for a final score of 2-9.

Recently, local boxer Tony Luis has had a second fight cancellation in a row. While unseen situations do arise, Tony is a professional boxer and trains hard for upcoming events. Do you feel fight promoters should offer some form of financial compensation to fighters who are not responsible for the cancellation?

Sports Energy

Gilles Gaudet - Sports Enthusiast - While boxing is often referred to as the “sweet science”, some boxing promoters have made millions taking advantage of boxers. That’s a sour fact, scientific or not. The two most infamous promoters, Bob Arum and Don King, are worth an estimated 200 million dollars and 150 million dollars, respectively. That’s where the respect ends. In the US there’s only one professional sport that doesn’t have a pension plan for retired athletes. If you guessed boxing; ding! ding! you’ve answered the bell. So to answer the question, boxers should absolutely receive compensation for cancelled fights. That will happen when the Arums, the Kings, and the rest of their ilk, are gone from the boxing world.

Greater Cornwall & Areas Community Sports Newspaper

Jim Riddell - Seaway Karate Club - Boxing is a sport where the cost to prepare, travel, and train for an upcoming bout are the responsibility of the fighter and can be quite significant. Tony Luis is a world class athlete who has to travel to either Montreal or well into New York State to find suitable sparring partners. There are the licensing fees for both the fighter and his corner men in the jurisdiction where the fight is to be held. The medical requirements include a vision test, physical, blood work testing for HIV, Hep B and C, an ECG, and an EEG to check for any abnormal activity of the heart and brain. These tests cost and are only valid for 30 days in the province of Ontario, so in Tony’s case, all tests would have to be redone following the first cancellation. Once the contract is signed a pro fighter has to invest a considerable amount of money before the opening bell and should be fully compensated for all expenses incurred.

Jake Lapierre - Conditioning Coach - Like many sports, professional boxing is a business governed by rules, processes, and guidelines enforced by a myriad of boxing organizations. Agreements between organizations, promoters, venues, agents, and fighters are set up through time-sensitive contracts. Good fight promoters know what’s required to put a card together and active athletes know they should be fight ready when called up for a fight, which is often on short notice. Before a fighter receives compensation for a cancelled fight, “ink to paper” is required. Without a contract, it’s unrealistic to believe promoters would offer any type of compensation to fighters for cancelled fights. If a fighter has a signed contract in hand however, promoters are bound by the agreement. An example of such an incident occurred in UFC with a scheduled straw weight MMA female match between Nina Ansaroff vs Rose Namajunas.

The fight was cancelled because Namajunas had the flu. Ansaroff received full compensation for a cancelled fight. Do I feel promoters should offer financial compensation to fighters who are not responsible for cancellations? It’s all about the paperwork.

BEHIND THE BENCH Sean Boulerice and Mike Pettinella

The next year he joined forces with Pettinella and they looked into entering some college tournaments throughout Ontario. They entered a number of these and were quite successful and this was basically the beginning of what has become a well-respected program throughout the province.

By Molly Kett

S

ean Boulerice has been involved in hockey for quite some time.

He refereed the Canadian University National Championship in 1991, and the Centennial Cup, now known as the Royal Bank Cup, in that same year. Boulerice refereed for nine years in the Ontario Hockey League and three in the American Hockey League. His refereeing also saw two years of professional roller hockey and, in 1993, he obtained his Level 6 referee certification, the highest level achievable, in Hockey Canada.

Now, Boulerice is a professor at St. Lawrence College in Cornwall.

He teaches accounting in their business program and coaches both the men’s and women’s hockey teams at the school. His co-coach, Mike Pettinella, is a Computer AV

Technologist at St. Lawrence. The pair crossed paths when Boulerice was refereeing in the American Hockey League and Pettinella was working for the Cornwall Aces.

Sharks Hockey began at St. Lawrence in 1997. “There was an intramural league in existence but there was no longer any varsity

hockey, since back in the days of the SLC Cornwall Road Runners. Mike Pettinella played on that first team that I coached,” says Boulerice. “We played in a tri-campus tournament against the other two SLC campuses, Brockville and Kingston, and a few exhibition games in Upper New York State”.

The men’s team evolved very quickly, and Boulerice says it wasn’t long before they were approached by a group of interested female students about coaching them. They agreed that if there was enough interest, they would coach.

In 2005, St. Lawrence College’s female hockey began. Boulerice and Pettinella have been coaching both teams since. Along the way, Boulerice was fortunate to see both his daughters pull on the SLC jersey and skate for the Sharks. A quick Continued on page 23

Our advertiser’s “Goal” is always to “Assist” their customers.

Continued from page 22 calculation reveals that they have been behind the bench for upwards of 750 games and have probably logged close to 200,000 kilometres on the team bus.

Boulerice has also coached the St. Lawrence College golf team for 15 years and spent a number of seasons coaching his daughters in minor hockey. Pettinella has coached men’s and women’s indoor soccer as well as cross-country running teams for the Cornwall campus. He has coached minor sports in Cornwall’s community as well.

“The number one reason that we coach is because of the kids and their college experience. If you were to ever ask any player that went through our system, the majority of them would look back on Sharks’ hockey as one of their most memorable moments at SLC,” says Boulerice.

“Our philosophy is to treat them like professionals and they will perform like professionals.”

Pettinella says he and Boulerice pride themselves on being the most organized and prepared team.

“There is probably not a team in

the loop as disciplined as us. We do not condone the undisciplined approach. The players have all bought in and this has not been an issue,” says Pettinella.

Ladies’ Panther Rugby Team Headed to BC

In terms of favourite coaching memories, Boulerice and Petinella have countless ones to reminisce over. From an on-ice perspective, Boulerice says they will never forget the three provincial championships they have been able to win.

“The competition is fierce in both Men’s and Women’s hockey so to come out on top is really quite a feat,” says Boulerice. “Honestly though, running into former players after all these years and hearing them talk Sharks’ hockey and reminiscing about their days on the team, makes it all so worthwhile.

We have been at the helm for 17 years. We have been fortunate to have touched 100’s of lives and enhanced their post-secondary education experience. At the end of the day, championships are exciting but friendships that Sharks’ hockey has developed over the years and still remain strong today, makes it all worthwhile.”

MURPHY’S SPORTS LAW

A

s the days get longer and the hint of spring teases us, our collective sports’ minds adjust to focus on the stretch run towards the NHL and NBA playoffs.

There’s the possibility that no Canadian teams will be in the chase for Lord Stanley’s Cup after the regular season and our nation’s only pro basketball team could make a deep post season run.

Cornwall Colts Player Accepts Offer to Clarkson University

By Victoria Klassen

G

rant Cooper, 19-year-old Cornwall Colts forward, has committed to going to Clarkson University in New York. He will begin there in the fall of 2017 to study business.

“Clarkson is a great school and has an even better hockey atmosphere,” says Cooper. “It is nice and close to home which means family and friends will be able to easily drive to games.”

Cooper is having a fantastic season so far with 15 goals and 17 assists in 24 games. In December, he was also named captain for Team Canada East in the World Junior A Challenge.

Overall, he says one of his favourite experiences with the Colts was playing in and hosting the Fred Page Cup.

He will be returning next season to play his final year with the Cornwall Colts before starting university.

Cooper plays left wing and currently has 93 points in 121 games during his time with this team.

“I’d like to thank everyone for their support over the past few months; from playing in the World Junior A challenge in Whitby, to making this decision on where I will be playing hockey and studying in the near future,” says Cooper. “I couldn’t be more grateful with the city of Cornwall and the fans. It means a lot being a young hockey player to have the support of so many people in the community. Cornwall is truly a small hockey town and place I will always carry with me.”

“To be in your hometown, playing against the top three Jr. A teams in Eastern Canada was definitely something I will remember once my junior career comes to an end with the Cornwall Colts,” says Cooper.

Self Defence for Females

I

have often been asked by females, with an interest in joining Seaway Karate, if the selfdefence that we teach is the same for both sexes. Self-defence may be a lengthy and complicated topic, but it is one that, for males and females alike, begins long before any physical assault may occur. Self-defence is a system of awareness combined with physical and mental techniques.

Prevention is always best, using common sense and making smart lifestyle choices, so that many potential situations can be completely avoided. Sometimes avoidance is not possible and a lady may find herself having to fight back against someone who is most likely larger and stronger than she is. The very first step is having an understanding of your rights under Canadian law.

While conducting ladies’ selfdefence seminars, several times over the years someone has voiced her concern about the legal consequences of using physical force to defend herself.

Section 34 of the Criminal Code of Canada gives you the legal right to defend yourself if: 1) you did not provoke the assault; 2) you used no more force than was reasonable and necessary to defend yourself; and 3) you had no other reasonable options.

When it comes to the physical part of defending oneself, simplicity and spontaneity are the two most

important factors; simplicity meaning simple gross motor skills that are easily retained under conditions of stress. As important as simplicity is, spontaneity may be even more important. Often mistakes are made by hesitating; an unwillingness to be assertive, fearful of causing pain or injury.

The self-defence that we teach is an aggressive targeting of vital points, allowing the lady to quickly defend herself and get away to safety. Another important component of training is “weapon of opportunity” usage. A ‘weapon of opportunity” is simply a common item with a primary purpose that if needed, can be used to defend oneself. These are items that a lady may have in her purse, vehicle, home, or workplace etc. A few of these many items include, keys, a book, magazine, hairbrush, flashlight, snowbrush, stapler, pen ¬¬- the list can go on and on, there are literally hundreds of everyday items that can be of use for personal protection.

Teaching self-defence to females is very similar to, but does differ somewhat from, the instruction that we give to males. In addition, whether at a special ladies’ selfdefence seminar or at regular karate classes, ladies will learn about prevention psychology, victim profiling, controlling your fear, and a portion on home, vehicle, and travel security. With proper self-defence training, females of all ages can, in a short period of time, raise their awareness level, gain confidence, become competent, and have fun doing so.

I like the recent trades made by River Kings GM Rick Lalonde and Head Coach Bob Desjardins. While it was not easy to trade fan favourites, they made some moves that will strengthen the whole team.

ASK THE COACH

Name: Vincent Anderson Team: NGS Novice B Braves Topic: Shooting Question: Hi coach.

Can you tell me how to lift the puck when I take a wrist shot?

Answered BY Own The Ice Instructor/Pro Player Brock McBride Answer: Start with the puck in line with your back foot.

(Knees bent) as you bring the puck on your blade through the midline of your body start to transfer your weight from your back leg to your front. When you release the puck just past your front foot make sure to follow through with your blade high if that’s where you want the puck to go. At the last second snap your wrists for extra power.

A few points Grip your stick tightly so that it doesn’t twist in your hands.

Make sure to have good knee bend.

Seaway Roller Derby Girls: Charity and Recruiting

By Molly Kett

T

his past December, the Seaway Roller Derby Girls hosted their Black and White Scrimmage to fundraise for the Baldwin House. Vince Jasiewicz, coach, says the event was a success.

“Being a women’s sport we decided to support a women’s service,” says Jasiewicz. “Since October we had been collecting gently used clothing articles, toy and non-perishables in order to donate to Baldwin House. We successfully donated 2 full truckloads with the help of our local community and our derby community.

This fundraiser was the brainchild of our very own Amy Brown.”

Approximately 45 players came to the scrimmage from as far away as Quebec City and Belleville. The players were mixed into two large teams and played derby for the entire day.

This isn’t where the charity stops, Roller Derby Casino Night fundraiser though, for the Seaway Roller Derby on April 22.

Christian Seguin: Treating Youth Olympic Injuries

A

s Christian Seguin gears up to head to the Youth Olympics in February, he spoke with Sports Energy about his role as a physiotherapist at the games; what sports are the most at risk for injury and what injuries are the most unfortunate for competition.

“My role extends in various directions,” says Seguin. “My first role, if I can be treating patients around here before the games, it would be heading towards more prevention, looking at making sure that they have a strong flexible body, some good reaction time, and that there’s no ailment preventing them from performing, which would expose them to more injuries.”

Before going to the games, Seguin says there’s communication, especially in the difficult cases, with other therapists across Canada looking at the injuries of the participating athletes and how they’re managing, in order for ongoing care to happen.

“Now, typically when they are allowed to the games it’s because they can perform and did well or they’d stay back, but sometimes there are injuries that are treatable or need treatment, but that they can still

Throughout the night we hold live auctions and give away door prizes.”

The cost of the event is $30 per person, which includes $500 in playing chips.

The Seaway Roller Derby Girls have also had three new members recently complete their boot camp and integrate into team practices. “We will also have a couple of players joining us from the Kahnawake Wagon Burners for some practices and probably playing with us as well,” says Jasiewicz.

The Seaway Roller Derby Girls recruit all year round, so if you’re interested in getting involved, reach out to Vince Jasiewicz or check out their website for more information: seawayrollerderbygirls.com.

These treatable injuries could be from overuse or injuries according to their sport. These injuries aren’t enough for the athletes not to participate, but enough that without treatment they may not be able to compete to the best of their abilities both physically and mentally.

Once Seguin arrives with the other physiotherapists, they check the premises for safety and make sure the clinic is set up properly. The physiotherapists are then assigned sports to cover, with a focus on highrisk sports such as luge, bobsleigh, skeleton, speed skating, and figure skating.

Lacombe’s Broomball Team Champs in Syracuse “Where Whe sales al are e built on service.” vi

By Todd Anderson

F

or years the Lacombe’s broomball team has travelled to Syracuse to take part in the Syracuse CanAm Broomball Tournament. On Jan. 10, they returned to Canada as champions.

“We have attended this tournament numerous times over the years. It has teams from all over Canada and the U.S.,” said team member Gary St. Pierre. “It is a fun, yet competitive, tournament.”

Teams were from places across North America including Minnesota and Quebec, as well as the United States.

To open the event, held from Jan. 8 to Jan. 10, Lacombe’s defeated The Ice 4-0. Next up was a match against the home town Syracuse squad with the visitors winning 4-1. In their final round-robin game Lacombe’s drew a 3-2 victory over the Pogos from Quebec. All games were held at Sunnycrest and Meacham Arenas.

After a perfect round-robin, Lacombe’s went face-to-face with the Valley Canucks from the Almonte area and shut them out 2-0. With

their winning streak, Lacombe’s earned a bye to the finals where they faced the Ottawa Nationals. A hard fought, back-and-forth affair resulted in a victory, albeit a narrow one, of 1-0 in favour of Lacombe’s.

After the event, Lacombe’s player Denis Gauthier was quoted by the local media “The team that you play for, you oneed to really bond together as a team to actually come out with victories like this,” said Gauthier. “It doesn’t take talent alone, you have to work hard and it’s exactly a team effort.”

Fairly new to the sport himself, Gauthier, an experienced hockey player learned to love broomball quickly. “Bend your knees, keep level-footed,” said Gauthier, of the biggest lesson he learned transitioning between sports. “It’s very difficult to get used to, but once you get going, your feet are actually under you, its second nature.”

Lacombe’s next event was a Kemptville-based tournament on Jan. 23 (results not available at press time). Many local broomball players are preparing for the chance of competing at the Eastern

Lacombe’s, a broomball team comprised mostly of local talent, captured a CAN-AM Tournament on January 10 in Syracuse, NY.

Ontario Regionals from Feb. 25 to 27 in Vankleek Hill, the Ontario Provincials from March 18 to 20 at the Benson Centre in Cornwall, and the Canadian Nationals from April 6 to 9 in Owen Sound.

Most of the Lacombe’s squad play for various teams in Maxville and in other leagues like Monday nights in Russell, Wednesdays in Ottawa, or Thursday’s in Pakenham or Vankleek Hill.
