Minor Hockey is for the Children
I have posted or emailed this article to parents many times over the years.  I came across it today so had to post it again this season.

Even if you have read it before take 5 minutes and give it another read.  Probably the only article from Steve Simmons ever that I haven't disagreed with at least 3/4 of :)

Dr Barb Barnard
Dr. Barnard is originally from Sudbury, Ontario. She relocated to London in 1982 to attend the University of Western Ontario, graduating in 1986 with a BSc. in Science and 1990 with her DDS. Dr. Barnard is married with two children in post-secondary education. She is enjoying a successful career as a recreational dragon boat racer. She also enjoys Moksha yoga and running. She is a member of the CDA, ODA, LDDS and has been president of the Greater London Dental Study Club for more years than she can remember! She cherishes her family, friends and the perfect A frame! Tamara joined the practice as Dr. Barnard's assistant in June 2011. She is originally from Toronto, but is proud of her Jamaican and Newfoundlander heritage! She has four beautiful children, including new additions "Jaxon" who was born on January 6, 2013 and "Youandi" who was born on January 23, 2014. Karen is our receptionist. She has been active in the London dental community for more years than she will admit to! She has two daughters and in her spare time enjoys reading and doting on her granddaughter and her new grandson! After graduating from the University of Toronto dental hygiene program thirty plus years ago, Ruth and her husband moved to Vancouver where she worked in a paediatric dental practice for three years. Unable to live any longer without four distinct seasons, they moved back to southwestern Ontario where they have been ever since. She has worked primarily in general and periodontal dental practices. Two of her favourite pleasures are walking in the bush with her husband and their two Irish Water Spaniels and, having always been a local foodie, opening a jar of home preserved peaches in the middle of January. Caroline graduated from Fanshawe's Dental Hygiene program in 2006. She worked in Nova Scotia for almost one year, then returned home to be closer to friends and family. Caroline's "travel bug nature" has led her as far afield as India, Thailand and Indonesia where she volunteered in an orphanage. In her spare time she enjoys working at home renovating and landscaping as well as yoga, hiking, kayaking and camping in the back country. Congratulations to Caroline on her recent engagement!

EllisDon
EllisDon has strong ties to its humble beginnings. This marks a time when our company first directed its reach to the skies, before the thought of not having EllisDon around was unimaginable. Since then, every achievement has added to a rich tapestry that is our history. We are focused on the future, and still very aware of where we came from. No matter how much– or how grand– we build, EllisDon will always have the heart and hunger of an underdog, which is what drove us to accomplish everything below, and what will expand that list for years to come.
