AUŠRA JUNIOR HOCKEY
If you don't play in
a competitive or house league, here's your chance to receive some formal
instruction and experience hockey fun with your Ausra friends that do.
If you do play competitively, you will definitely appreciate the ice time and
learn a few things too! We also help find equipment to borrow if
you just want to try it out.
Ages -
8 to 14 (exceptions are made for younger players with full
equipment that play in an organized league)
ALL ABILITY LEVELS ARE WELCOME - including players wearing equipment for
the FIRST TIME - our practices are tailored to all levels
Toronto Klevo Lapai coaches - Wally Dauginis, Alvin Kišonas, Ed Ginčauskas,

Aušra Junior Hockey 2010
We had a successful end to our 2010 season April 28th with 17 kids. All
feasted on chips and juice and traded hockey cards into the night (roughly 20
mins after our session ended since we had to vacate the dressing room).

recommended. A helmet, skates and stick are manditory.

The kids met the Latvian
National Standing Amputee Team - ranked 4th in the World and will play in the
Olympics and World Championships! They played the Toronto
Latvian Baltic League team to a 2-2 draw after our practice, a hard fought game.

2008 Ausra Junior Hockey team
The same
rules apply as last year except we will be collecting rink fees up front,
primarily to reduce our administration time and ensure no shows are still
collected. We'd like to keep the fees at $90 for all 6 sessions and would
therefore like to see everyone back from last year and
gladly welcome any new players too. The rates we were
charged escaped the proposed rental increase, so take advantage of this
terrific value.
Each player is
responsible to bring a helmet with face cage, hockey stick, hockey skates and
protective shin/elbow/shoulder pads and gloves (not necessarily hockey
gear). This will be a no contact experience and will focus again on
improving skills at 3 levels, beginner, intermediate and advanced.
We could also use
a couple of goalies this year so if you know of a friend who would like
to come out and play free, please let me know (they pay enough for equipment
already)
2006-2007 Season Notes
Season closed: Practices were held at
Erin Mills Twin Arena,

Thanks to all for making this new programme a success!
