PARTNERSHIP INQUIRY

Making a good first impression with your team is an important way to set the stage for a good year. This year our team decided to try something a little different.

We chose a family friendly venue that kept the players entertained and the parents free to give their attention to the budget. What a great way to mix a little business with some fun! Once the financials were taking care of, the parents had time to mingle and watch the boys bowl.

Little did we know that we weren’t the only “Ranger” team bowling that night. To our great surprise, the Kitchener Rangers were having their own fun in the lanes next to us. The Kitchener Rangers even took a moment to take pictures with our little players. What a story the boys would share at school the next day!

The long and short of it; it was a very successful night for all involved even if the pizza was a little late!

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to Kitchener. This year’s Oktoberfest promises to be our largest and best Oktoberfest tournament ever. With 92 Atom teams we hope to share the joy of Hockey with all of your players. During this month our community celebrates in the spirit of Gemulichkeit; a spirit of brotherhood or friendliness and we share it through Hockey. The Kitchener Oktoberfest tournament has engendered this spirit for 41 years and this season we continue to build on it. In 2015 we again partner with the Bauer Experience (an interactive fun competition ) that will see teams compete in skill challenges for great prizes. You will be able to find the Bauer experience in the Play It Again parking lot located at 509 Wilson Ave, Kitchener or incase of rain on the viewing deck at the Sportsworld Arena.

Your Community Sports Report

Want to stay out of trouble in your next game? Don’t touch their goalie! Touching the goalie is not fair, it’s not safe, and it will cost your team a penalty -- that’s not a winning combination.

This message finds it’s way into the Hockey Canada Rule Book in about nine different places so it must be serious.

Rule 6.3, Rule 7.3, Rule 8.2 ... check it out.

Even when the goalie is out of the crease, you cannot make deliberate, unnecessary contact with him/her. Any physical interference with the goalie is a penalty.

Even if you are pushed into the goalie, you must make every effort to avoid contact.

That can be challenging and don’t bother arguing the call. The referee will always judge in the goalie’s favour to avoid possible injury and resulting retaliation.

There’s more! As an attacker, you cannot stand in the crease before the puck enters. If a goal is scored and you were

behindthebench Don’t touch their goalie!

Hopefully you never experience this one as it’s for offences that respectful players don’t do.

It all sounds pretty serious because it really is. Referees are trained to watch very closely for these infractions on goaltenders. You are most unlikely to get away with it and you are not going to talk your way out of it. Think of it this way, how many times has your coach told you to protect your own goalie? How serious is it to your team if your goalie must leave the game with an injury? How do you react when your goalie has been hit by an attacker? It is never pretty and the referee knows this all too well.

So, do you want your next game to be safe and fun for everyone? Do you want to increase your chance of winning by staying off the penalty column? Want a smart tip to protect your own goalie? Here’s how, “Don’t touch their goalie!” Seriously!

in the crease before the puck -- no goal -- and, if you interfered with the goalie, you’ll also be assessed with a penalty for interference with the goaltender. This includes situations where the goalie has made a save and is subsequently pushed into the net. The goal does not count and the penalty applies. Even jabbing with your stick at a loose puck and touching the goalie will likely fetch you a slashing or spearing penalty.

The stakes are raised if the attacker gets more aggressive. An automatic major penalty and game misconduct is assessed when the goalie has been charged or cross checked while standing in the crease.

In fact, any of the penalties mentioned here may result in major penalties (and game misconducts) if an injury results or the action is severe or violent. Deliberate injury, or intent, results in the most serious penalty, the Match Penalty.

Treadmill Skating vs. On-Ice Skating Submitted by Adam Redmond from RedTech Innovations There is an ongoing debate in the hockey world surrounding the use of skating treadmills as a development tool for hockey players with a common paradigm being that skating on a treadmill may alter a player’s stride. Without a doubt the skating treadmill should never completely replace skating on the ice but should rather be used in conjunction with on-ice training as a TOOL to help improve your skills as a hockey player.

The game of hockey is a multifaceted and fast paced game which is rarely played in straight lines. Skills such as pivoting, turning, and accelerating should all be included in any players skill repertoire.

However, if the basic skating movement patterns are not mastered (ie. proper joint loading or muscle activation), then any of the subsequent complex movement patterns will also be flawed.

Hip alignment, lack of mobility and lack of strength can all account for flawed

biomechanical skating movements.

As I already alluded to, nothing will ever replace specific on-ice hockey training but the skating treadmill offers players an excellent opportunity to get multiple repetitions of a skating specific skill in an individual setting.

Going back to the original debate of treadmills being a valid training tool,

different between the two surfaces (higher on the treadmill) which possibly caused a slightly shorter glide phase on a treadmill. One plausible explanation for this is the psychological effect of having a loud machine with a surface moving rapidly underneath your feet. To the untrained treadmill user, there is a tendency to feel the need to stride more often just to “keep up”. Once this initial effect is overcome, the glide time significantly increases. Despite the friction difference, the study found that the actual mechanics of the forward stride were not significantly altered.

I’m sure the validation of skating treadmills will continue to be debated for some time but with the lack of availability of ice in some communities, having a tool such as the skating treadmill seems to be a very viable option for players to continue their development.

“...Having a tool such as the skating treadmill seems to be a very viable option for players to continue their development.” researchers at McGill University have done extensive studies examining the biomechanics of skating on synthetic surfaces (ie. treadmills) vs. skating on actual ice. To give you a brief synopsis of what they discovered in their study, they found that the friction was slightly

We were on national television!

Submitted By Claudia ILL I, along with Nick, was chosen to participate in the Hometown Hockey experience in Kitchener as two of KMHA’s representatives. I excitedly agreed because it would be a great experience and it was an honour to be nominated by KMHA. I have been with KMHA since starting Novice 11 years ago. Currently, I am currently playing for the Midget AA team coached by Jeff Sittler.

When asked, I was both nervous and intimidated about being on air with two of the SportsNet greats, Ron MacLean and Jennifer Botterill (a three-time Canadian Olympic medalist). I received a phone call from the producer at SportsNet who gave me the required details and let me know that Nick and I would be picking the three stars of the Ottawa/Montreal game live on national television.

The producers asked us to be prepared to answer, “What are your passions, hobbies and hockey connections?” This made me reflect on the things I would tell them as, while being worried, I would not remember the questions that were going to be asked of me “on air.”

The day (October 11) came and I had my own hockey game with the Kitchener Midget AA team that day — home opener — we won! The schedule allowed me just one hour after the game to get ready and be downtown at Kitchener City Hall.

Seeing the mobile studio booth and all the hype downtown including hockey greats like Darryl Sittler made me excited to participate with Hometown Hockey. I met with the producers who made me feel comfortable about going on air — as they said, “It’s like talking to them in your own living room.”

Upon climbing the stairs and entering the studio, Jennifer and Ron made me feel like this was no big deal. I felt a bit nervous but comfortable about going on national TV to pick the stars. We talked amongst ourselves about our hockey experiences and about our coaches.

I was first up on air with Jennifer and the interview went well as I felt like we were just talking at home. She asked about

my coach, Jeff Sittler, and the things I have learned. Even though this was not a prepared question I think I handled it well.

There were lots of fans outside the booth cheering along with some of my KMHA “hockey sisters.”

By the flip of a coin by Ron, I was able to pick two stars while Nick picked the other.

I selected Mike Condon, the Montreal Canadien goalie, as the third star because it was his NHL debut. Nick picked the second star, his hometown hero, Mike Hoffman of the Ottawa Senators. I chose Tomas Plekanec (from Montreal) as the first star because he scored two goals on three shots and finished at plus two.

I thought Nick and I did great on national TV as representatives of KMHA. We each received mementos of our experience with Hometown Hockey.

This was an opportunity of a lifetime.

I am thankful for the nomination from KMHA to participate and I will remember this experience for a long time! Thank you, Claudia ILL

I would first like to thank the KMHA, my coaches Trevor Ludolph and Dean Desilva, and, of course, Rogers and Hometown Hockey for this amazing opportunity!

Hometown Hockey took place here in Kitchener on October 9 and 10. Claudia and I, who both play rep hockey in Kitchener, were asked

by Rogers to join Ron Maclean to select the three stars of the Montreal vs. Ottawa game. As soon as we stepped into the mobile studio, Ron MacLean made us feel welcome and comfortable. He started by asking my dad about his Siskin days and he remembered reffing him when he played Junior B hockey. He talked to us like we had known him for years!

Before we were on air, Ron asked questions about my hockey team this year and how we are doing. He also asked about last year’s minor midget team and the OHL Cup experience.

After that, we flipped a coin to decide who would pick stars one and three and who would choose number two.

I chose Mike Hoffman as the second star because he is a hometown boy.

Being on air was a very nerveracking experience at first but, after a bit, I began to feel more comfortable with it. Ron was a big help in making it feel more like a conversation than an interview. After the interview, Ron was happy to take pictures with us and talk about the Montreal/Ottawa game and the Blue Jays.

Overall, it was an experience that I will never forget. This brings me back to the quote that Ron finished his segment with, “In life there are six degrees of separation but in Kitchener it is more like six degrees of unification.”

The Lady Rangers Midget AA Team

The Midget B Lady Rangers begin their journey!

Every season begins with the decision to take a risk. The dare to try, to push myself, to find out where I belong. Tryout season is the worst.

All the questions, speculation, all the unknowns! How many are trying out?

How do I look? Do they want me to pass or shoot? How many spots are available?

What is the coach looking for? Did they see my sweet dangle or my “beauty” field goal? Then the wait for the results with the line moving as slow as molasses, knowing the only words you want to hear are, “Congratulations, welcome to the team!”

Fall arrives, paperwork is signed, offseason training is done and fees are paid— everything is ready to go. As I remember

The Lady Rangers Midget B team is looking forward to a fun-filled year with some great hockey and player development.

The start of the season was a rather rapid one. Finalizing the roster, getting the team up and running and preparing for the start of the season all happened in a very short period of time. But, thanks to a wellorganized coaching staff, the team is set to embark upon this season’s journey.

The head coach, Mark Steffler, acknowledges his staff for being so prepared and prompt in all areas of the team set-up including the roster creation, ice scheduling, the ordering of all team

how to put my equipment on, I look around at my new friends and teammate. This is the team I will journey with throughout the year. We have come from many different teams but now we are one. We will win some, lose some, learn some, and laugh a lot. Our work ethic will be the key to our success.

At last, the time we’ve been waiting for! We put the Kitchener Lady Rangers sweater on for the first time and step on the ice. The puck drops and I know this is where I belong. Game on! K-what? K-town!

The Kitchener Lady Rangers Midget AA team can be found playing home games most Sunday afternoons at Grand River Arena.

The roster consists of: Rebecca Vitello, Claudia ILL, Sabrina Schuett, Hunter Lee, Jenna Harrison, Samantha McCrory, Megan Thring, Caitlan Krasinski, Megan Chapman, Tory Ryan, Madison Mitchell, Aniela Breen, Kayla Lee, Hunter Jacklin, Taylor Rempel, Devin Kay, Alexa Fisher and Nicole Kaminski.

Go Rangers!

Lady Rangers Intermediate A Submitted by Pat Zister The Kitchener Lady Rangers Intermediate A girls’ hockey team kicked off its 2015/16 season with a number of exhibition games and a pre-season tournament in Oshawa in September.

While the win/loss record for the team has not be stellar to date, the exhibition and tournament games have been played with the objective of determining how the team plays together and where it stands in respect to the competition.

This year, the team is competing in the Lower Lakes Female Hockey League (LLFHL) Intermediate West division.

This season’s opponents include: St. Catharines, Stoney Creek, Hamilton, Cambridge, Guelph and Mississauga.

The team will also compete in the LLFHL play-offs at the end of the regular season, the OWHA Provincial play-downs in March 2016, and four more tournaments throughout the season including a Midget/Intermediate Showcase tournament in Sudbury in January 2016.

Joining me on the coaching staff are Ted Martin and Darlene Dobie (trainer). Jon Fleming is helping the team at practices

and working with our two goalies to help improve their game.

The team consists of a number of returning players as well as a few new additions. Returning this year, and acting as rotating captains and assistant captains, are: Abbie Gray, Katie Simons, Emily Vanderstelt and Sarah Zister. Other returnees are: Meghan MacKay, Amy Thompson, Sara Metzger, Megan Yake, Sarah Costello and Paige Riley. New team members are: Taylor Dobie, Christy

Fleming, Kristen Dahmann, Sydney McDonald, Alex Ladd and our two goalies, Ashley Forler and Brittney Crawford.

The team has a positive attitude and consists of a great bunch of girls.

Together we are looking for a successful season both on the ice and off the ice.

Good luck ladies!

According to head Coach Steffler, the team will certainly have their hands full this season. “We have a young, dynamic group of players. Some are new to rep and some new to the faster pace of midget hockey. The girls are still getting used to playing with each other.”

The key now, according to Steffler, is getting the girls to play as a unit. They need to start communicating with each other and

Their roster includes: Goalies: Sam Marson, Michelle Snow Defence: Leah Phillips, Shannon Moroz, Madi Germann, Lexi Sharp, Meghan Mathieson and Vivian Versluis.

Forwards: Allie Steffler, Nikki Borghese, Kristen Munro, Kassy Lichty, Sarah Mask, Melanie Lanteigne, Brooklyn Neuert, Nicole Sauve and Sofie Hudson.

Good luck to the Midget B team!

The Lady Rangers PeeWee C team Submitted by Scott Snider The 2015/16 hockey season has arrived; the tryouts are complete and the Kitchener Lady Rangers Peewee C team has been chosen. Now the hard work begins.

The coaching staff: Scott Snider, Jason Eckert and Dwayne Wismer, collectively have over 27 years of coaching experience. Joining the crew this year is Alyssa Eckert who has played at the top level of Kitchener hockey and is a strong influence on the girls.

The coaches are very excited about this year’s team. Our goalies, Emma D. (M&M) and Asia S. (Brickwall), posted two shutouts in the first four exhibition

games. The defence, consisting of Ashley D. (Crashley), Marlee W. (Marsbar), Melina F. (Mel), Madison B. (Braker), Kaitlyn W. (Weebs), and Nicole M. (Ko), have shown us great promise. Our forwards, who have given us timely goals and strong defensive play, consist of Sara S. (Sully), Madison T. (Maddy), Isabella B. (Izzy), Katelyn D. (Dickie), Reilly J. (Reills), Amelia S. (Meils), Madison I. (Madi Madz), Isabelle G. (Izzo) and Sophia B. (Bigsy).

The girls all want to learn the complete game of hockey, not just what they themselves are supposed to do on the ice. They have already become a team, participating in a team­bonding trip to

Chicopee as well as a successful team fundraiser. They also gave a substantial donation to the Food Bank ­­a great gesture by the girls.

We are expecting a great year in what will be a tough division.

The Lady Rangers Midget A Team Submitted by Mike Richmond The 2015/16 Kitchener Lady Ranger Midget A team has arrived. The team is comprised of 11 first-year, three secondyear and three senior players. Coaches Mike Richmond, Jamie Dinsmore, Russ Hutchings and Catie Hilliker are joined by trainer Sarah Hepditch and manager Dave Frey. The staff is very encouraged

by the talent that comprises the team.

Although young, the talent assembled on the Midget A team bodes well for the upcoming season.

The team is proud of representing Kitchener Minor Hockey at the Hometown Hockey event. Captain Taylor Brown, along with assistants Charlene Weber

and Abby Beaton, are energizing forces for the troops and always provide enough enthusiasm to make KMHA proud.

Keep it tuned to the Lady Rangers Midget A team for success.

Go Rangers!

Cheering with the Lady Rangers Atom B team

The Lady Rangers Bantam A team

Submitted by Corey Prang When the City of Kitchener was awarded the opportunity to be the first stop for Rogers Hometown Hockey, none of the hundreds of minor hockey players had the slightest clue what wonders awaited them.

The downtown core was jammed full of displays, vendors, skills competitions, live entertainment and autograph signings; all of these leading up to the live broadcast of the NHL game between Ottawa and Montreal. But perhaps the most anticipated event was the “Cheer Like Never Before“ contest that showcased our enthusiastic hockey youth. Hockey teams from all around the region were encouraged to enter a cheer online and then the community voted to pick the top teams who would compete live on Rogers Hometown Hockey.

Among the teams selected was the Kitchener Lady Rangers Atom B. This team of 17 fun, energetic lovely young ladies came up with a cheer that exemplifies

determination and hard work. With smiles on their faces and a fiery spirit, they took the main stage at six p.m. on Sunday night in front of hundreds of hometown fans and a few million TV onlookers. They gave it all they had and were rewarded with a win against three worthy opponents by the distinguished judges: Kitchener Mayor Berry Vrbanovic, Executive Director of KW Oktoberfest Dave McNeil, and Hometown Hockey icon Paul Coffey.

This team now advances to represent our region in the National Cheer competition against every other community that hosts Hometown Hockey this season. The top prize is an ultimate NHL experience that includes a visit to an NHL arena, an arena tour with a meet and greet, and tickets to an NHL game. Get your voting fingers ready Kitchener — we’ll need your support in the spring to help these 17 future hockey-stars win an experience of a lifetime!

Congratulations to the Kitchener Lady Rangers Atom B team. The girls have done their hometown proud!

The 2015/16 Lady Ranger Bantam A team was extremely pleased to welcome back six members from last season’s provincial gold‐medal team. Returning goaltender Ms. Komorowski, defense Ms. Allen, Ms. Okane and Ms. Schroder and forwards Ms. MacDonald and Ms. McIntyre will provide the necessary leadership for those competing at the Bantam A level for the first time. Second‐ year bantam players Ms. Aubin, Ms. Beacom, Ms. Lackenbauer and Ms. Piitz showed they were ready to take the next step in moving up to the A level, while five minors, Ms. Bassanese, Ms.Dolfi, Ms. Hepditch, Ms. Young and Ms. Yuke joined the bantam A level in their first eligible season. In rounding out the team’s roster, the coaching staff was pleased to sign

Go Lady Rangers!

two import players, Ms. Durham and Ms. Feledi.

Behind the bench, the returning nonparent coaching staff includes Bill, Sarah, Tim and myself. We are all pleased to welcome Coach Katie who brings with her many years of NCAA Division 1 play. Her knowledge and skill will further assist in the development of this year’s ladies.

We would also like to thank Manager Ken for coming forward to take on this “thankless” role. We look forward to everyone’s growth and development and wish all of our Central Division rivals good luck this season.

Go Lady Rangers!

Thanksgiving with the Sittlers

The Lady Rangers Bantam BB team

Submitted by Jeff Sittler

Wow, what a weekend!

It began with the celebration of my son Maddi’s, 21st. birthday. My daughter, Kennedy, was home from Dalhousie University to celebrate family Thanksgiving. We went to watch the Oktoberfest Parade and check out the Hometown Hockey exhibits. Who could ask for more?

The icing on the cake — the Lady Ranger Midget AAs won 4 - 1 over Bluewater!

Actually, one more event did happen.

As part of Rogers Hometown Hockey, I was invited to spend time with Ron McLean, the host of Hometown Hockey.

Ron loves to hear hockey-family stories and what they bring to the community and, by coincidence, my brother was in Kitchener as well. No better story than Darryl Sittler (NHL great and Hall of Famer) and his brother Jeff Sittler, coach

Submitted by Lori Dawson of the Midget AA Kitchener Lady Rangers, talking about their family and growing up in the Kitchener area.

On Sunday night during the first intermission of the Ottawa Senators/ Montreal Canadiens game, Darryl and I were special guests of Ron McLean.

There were pictures and stories of our grandfather, Jacob, and the home where we grew up in St Jacobs. Ron asked about my time playing with the Waterloo Siskins and our 1985 win of the Sutherland Cup. In February of that year my father, Ken, passed away. Ron, who loves family stories, asked the tough question, “How did you deal with the loss of your father at such a young age?” I was surrounded by family and friends but, as I stared at the Siskins’ team picture, the answer that immediately came to me was that the players on my team were like family and they were my support. That is what

ready to give nothing less than their best at every event, game and practice.

The start of the season saw the team head to Oshawa for an early tournament.

The goal that weekend was for the girls to find their legs and to get to know their teammates on and off the ice. They came away from the weekend with one win in which they managed to find the net four times. They sharpened their skills in some pre‐season play vs. Waterloo and Norfolk which prepared them for the season opener on October 3 in Guelph.

They started the season off on the right skate with a 2-0 victory. While the loop for the girls this season is a big one with 12 competitive teams looking for eight playoff spots, they are ready for this challenge and are looking forward to lots of success.

“Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?”

Seventeen hard-working, dedicated Lady Rangers have a mission — to stand out. They believe that they are capable of great things under a supportive and talented coaching staff.

In net we have Kiera Witten and Samantha Taylor. The blue line is defended by Louise De Andrade, Danielle Ferrede, Jenna Munro, Natalie MacMillan, Michelle Pope and Makenna Lang. Our offense is provided by Evie Perry, Hailey Friesen, Natalie Burrell, Hailey Cloutier, Emma Dawson, Jordan Wilhelm, Isabelle Schroder, Kennedy Jardin and Taylor Sol. The team is comprised of some veterans who bring experience and skill and a talented rookie who is wearing the Lady Rangers jersey with pride for the first time this season. These girls are

Go Lady Rangers! makes a team and what it’s all about!

At the end of the day, hockey is definitely a great family to be part of.

My Midget AA team and the Kitchener Minor Hockey Association are like a family to me and it feels great to be part of such a good group of girls and people associated with hockey in Kitchener.
