Initiation Program, 2011-2012 (Oro Thunder Minor Hockey)

The Oro IP teams- both Red and White took part in a one day tournament in Angus on Sat. Jan. 14th. For many of the players, this was their first ever hockey tournament. Each team played two games and proved that they were top notch, well developed teams. The defence skills and goal-tending abilities were incredible! The offence skills that every child demonstrated showed that they really put their full effort into the game.

A few short months ago, many of the Initiation Program (IP) players stepped onto the ice to play hockey for their first time. Many of the players had difficulty standing on their own two feet and shuffling along the ice. Thanks to the hard work of each and every player and the dedicated coaching staff including on-ice parent helpers, the IP players have transformed into true hockey players!! During the break, try to take in a public skate to practice your skills and we'll see you in the New Year!
