Yorkton Sports Hall of Fame 2008

2008-05-16T09:30:00.005-06:00

The 1996-1997 Yorkton Key Chev Olds Terriers have been inducted into the Yorkton Sports Hall of Fame on May 10, 2008. This team was coached by Highway 10 Hockey School instructor Jason Gordon. The team was very successful winning the 1997 WHL CUP at the Western Canadian Bantam Championship. Congratulations to all the players, coaches, trainer, parents and fans of this successful hockey team.

Hockey Canada Mandate

2008-05-16T09:14:00.002-06:00

The Saskatchewan Hockey Association out forward a motion that was defeated at the Hockey Canada AGM in May to continue the work on the 5 year body checking project in Atom Hockey. Therefore in the 2008-2009 season Body Checking has been removed from all Atom Hockey in Canada.

Highway 10 Hockey School continues to teach the proper progressions in the Checking Pyramid. Jason Gordon and Rob Kozak are certified SHA course conductors in the area of Body Checking. The progressions to Body Checking require some of the essential skills in hockey. Skating, Angling/Positioning and Body Contact all occur in hockey right from the IP level. Body Checking becomes legal now in Pee Wee hockey and is the final progression on the Pyramid of Skills. Highway 10 Hockey School will continue to ensure the school's curriculum reflects the important skills to become smart, safe, skilled hockey players.

Calling All Bantam and Midgets

2008-05-06T08:51:00.001-06:00

We are still looking to fill our Bantam and Midget Program for the 2008 summer session. Our program is designed to dust the rust off the skates and prepare players for training camps to perform at peek levels. We have elite program coaches running the sessions and scrimmage every evening. In the 2007 Summer Session we prepared players to play in the WHL, NCAA, SJHL, Midget AAA, Midget AA and Bantam AA ranks. It is a great way to get the edge on your competition when trying out for teams in the Fall.

WOW - Full Day Camps are FULL

Frequently Asked Questions

2008-02-17T09:52:00.004-06:00

The Hockey News recently issued their 2008 Summer Hockey School Guide. Many questions parents have about choosing a hockey school can be reflected in the product offered from Highway 10 Hockey School. The 4 main factors to consider when choosing a school are Instructors, Hours on Ice, Cost and Safety.

Instructors

Highway 10 Hockey School offers the Best Instructor to Student Ratio in the Hockey School Business. Our head instructors have been involved in Hockey Schools for over 50 years.

Jason Gordon is an Advanced I certified Hockey Canada coach. There are less than 200 coaches with this designation in SK. He is also a National Coach Mentor of the year in 2005 as he was recognized by Hockey Canada for his outstanding leadership and involvement in coaching. In 1997 Jason won a Western Canadian Championship at the Bantam Level and has been involved with hockey in Zone 4 as a Sask First Coach, Midget AAA coach, Sask Winter Games Female Coach, Evaluator, and SHA Course Conductor. He has been a scout in the WHL and SJHL.

Rob Kozak has had an incredible hockey career as he was just listed as one of the Top 35 Yorkton Terriers of all time. He has won a National Championship with the Yorkton Mallers winning the Air Canada Cup. After his Junior career with the Terriers he received a NCAA Division I scholarship to the Ferris State Bulldogs. Upon completion of school Rob returned to Yorkton and immediately began giving back to the hockey community as he starting coaching in the Yorkton Minor system and achieved his Intermediate Coaching level. He has coached in the Sask First program and is still an active player in Senior Hockey. Rob is arguably one of the best POWER SKATING instructors in the area, as his teaching progressions will show immediate improvement in players from day 1 to day 5 at Highway 10 Hockey School.

Dan Cross was the recipient of the SHA Scholastic Player of the year in 1990. After receiving his teaching degree he immediately began giving back to the hockey community. Dan has coached all levels of Minor Hockey from IP to Midget. He has achieved his Intermediate coaching certification and is in involved in the Sask First elite coaching stream. Dan is a teacher at the Yorkton Regional High School and his professionalism from the classroom streams onto the ice as the players experience outstanding instruction at all levels of the game.

Lee Poncelet played his minor hockey in Whitewood and moved onto to Junior Hockey in Weyburn winning a National Championship as a member of the Red Wings. Lee has been involved in hockey school instruction for over 10 years. He is still an active player at the Senior level and is a leader everywhere he goes as he is often the Captain of the teams where he has played. Lee is a teacher at the Yorkton Regional High School and his ability to teach students is the key to his success at Highway 10 Hockey School. Lee has developed a specialty for teaching puck skills, shooting and scoring as his technical progressions are developed for all players to learn the skills. Lee's leadership and abilities translate into many students looking up to Lee on and off the ice as part of their experience at Highway 10 Hockey School.

Group Leaders and Counsellors at Highway 10 Hockey School are hand picked by our ownership group as Coaches or Players that are leaders by example. In the 2007 season we have had outstanding leadership from Kelly Maddin, Bob Metzler, Jeff Sperling as Senior Group leaders. Their combined experience in the Highway 10 Hockey School adds to the saftey and exceptional instruction for all the students to experience.

Our Junior Counsellor staff included Josh Garbutt (Pro Hockey Tulsa Oilers), Kevin Stringfellow & Evan Neibrandt (Yorkton-SJHL), Austin Krahenbil (Melville-SJHL), Tyson Hobbins & Chad Nehring (Lake Superior State - NCAA) and Brett Breitkreuz (Edmonton-WHL).

As you can see the Highway 10 Hockey School instructional staff has plenty of experience to offer every child the best instruction to improve all aspects of their game.

Safety
When you send your child to Highway 10 Hockey School it is similar to sending your child to school. On our staff, we have as many as 5 professional teachers and 1 Principal and even a RCMP member. We provide 6 hours of supervision daily in our full day camps, as there is always a group leader with our students. Our group leaders help with everything from instruction to skate tying addressing every student's needs. Highway 10 Hockey School provides lunches to all of our students in the full day camps. Our staff has an emergency action plan and can be contacted by Cell Phone at all times.

DARE to COMPARE
To ensure that you are getting the ideal value for your investment ask these same questions to any other Hockey School Operators to see what they are providing.
