Rustlers prep for female hockey school

JAMIE HARKINS SPECIAL TO THE SOURCE

The Lakeland College Rustlers women’s hockey team is built on good coaching, great players and a solid foundation of welldeveloped minor league talent.

That latter point will come to the forefront this July 14 to 16 when the Rustlers host a female hockey school in Lloydminster open to all age groups.

The minor hockey players will be treated to five on-ice and five office sessions as well as complementary lunch during the weekend with the Rustlers players.

“It’s for all minor hockey-aged forwards, defense and goaltenders,” said Rustlers head coach Morgan Mann.

“The five on-ice skill sessions will focus on power skating, puck skills and small area games. The off-ice sessions are geared toward mobility and strength training, and small area games that focus on offensive and defensive tactical awareness. So, hockey IQ.”

Mann said there will also be chalk-talk sessions that feature the female hockey player’s pathway of opportunities in the sport.

He said the lunches enforce that teaching as they allow time for informal interactions between the minor hockey camp-goers and current Rustlers players.

In the meantime, H. Cooper, another Lloydminster forward bowled over one of the stronger Calgary players, out-maneuvered players and quickly got the ball down to their end.

They relentlessly keep the ball in their opponent’s end for several minutes trying to score.

Calgary was getting nervous due to these circumstances and decided it was time to get ready.

“Their excellent intention, however, ended in the centre of the field, when to their dismay, the border team

At this point, Strange fully demonstrated his skill as goal tender and repeatedly prevented Lloydminster from scoring.

Neither team had scored by half-time, though both teams had ample opportunity. The crowd provided some prognostic and optimistic remarks related to both teams and their lack of success in scoring. The second half began with the border players fighting to get the ball up and down the field as they had yet failed to score.

Calgary scored at 6:40 p.m. with a short kick off a goalie rebound.

The border boys rallied, fought hard and unfortunately failed to get on the scoreboard. In the remaining few minutes of the game, hopes for Lloydminster were dashed as Calgary scored after another round of strenuous play for the win. Calgary played hard to become the champion team of Alberta.
