Strap on Those Skates – A New Season Beckons, and We Need YOU! 🏒
Hello and welcome Oakridge hockey families!
My name is Scott Wain and I'll be the coach for our U8 BB team. We're here to create not just brilliant players, but phenomenal teammates. In our playbook, team values hold the net as steadfast as any goalie could. Our philosophy rests firmly on moulding not just fine players, but exceptional teammates.
As the great Wayne Gretzky said, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." But here, every shot taken is a shot at personal growth and collective victory. Our team, much like a well-tuned orchestra, thrives on the unique strengths each player brings. We believe that each child, no matter their skill level, contributes a verse to the epic poem of our hockey journey.
Whether they're a smooth skating defender, a lightening-fast winger, a rock-solid goalie, or the glue that keeps our spirits high on the bench, every player is a vital component of our symphony on ice. We are committed to discovering the talents of each child, allowing them to flourish in a position where they can genuinely enjoy the game and contribute to our team's success.
Over the next few weeks, we will be polishing up the details for our exciting tournament line-up and tryout schedule. Please stay tuned to this team page for updates. Now, we understand that this may seem like a big commitment. And it is. But fear not, we're here to make sure that your child's hockey experience isn't just about the final score but the exhilarating journey to get there.
So, as we prepare for a season brimming with growth, camaraderie, and, let's face it, probably an inordinate amount of Tim Hortons, we extend a warm, mittened hand of welcome to you and your superstar.
See you on the ice very soon!
Coach Scott
