The 19U Rep AA team tallied a record of 5-1-0 in six games, 32 goals for, 7 goal against, and their only loss was in the finals versus the San Jose Sharks. Over the tournament Reeb tallied 9 goals and 4 assists including two games with hat-tricks, while Duguay and Cauvel both netted three goals and four assists.

Article: Win! Win! Win! – Cobra Kai Do or Die! Finding the Best Hockey Org for Your Kid
Special to WWFHA: Daniel Brown – Beginners’ Director / Board member.
Unless you are Canadian, Swedish, Russian or from basically any cold-weather locale, indoor rinks are at a premium and so is ice time. For the record and the sake of this article, I include the Great Lakes and the Northeast as a part of Canada.
If your kid has decided to play hockey and you are committed and ready to do it, the question of where is likely to be asked. Unless you live in one of the locations mentioned above. The answer for them is usually, “Go outside and don’t come back until dinner, on non-practice days” and “watch for cars” during the summer.
So, what kind of organization are you looking for?
Are you looking for an organization that is competitive? Are you looking for a safe place for your child to learn the game? Most organizations have multiple levels at every age group, to meet the needs of players and their development. These are usually referred to as House (i.e. recreational) and Rep teams. Depending on the number of kids in the organization they might be tiered. This serves to further segment the athletes based on skill level. Hockey, as you know if you are reading this blog, moves pretty fast and everyone develops at a different speed.

Experts' Edge: Vitamin D through Nutrition = Strength and Recovery for Athletes
Special to WWFHA, pro-staffer Genevieve Masson, MSc, RD, CCD in Nutrition
Days get shorter and rainier as fall progresses. Do you feel like you are missing something? Vitamin D maybe?
Much more than healthy bones
For a long time scientists, thought vitamin D was nothing more than a good partner of calcium for bone health. Thanks to an increased interest in vitamin D research, we now know that vitamin D is involved in a broad range of functions, many of these being essential to athletes. We now know that vitamin D has a key role in muscle strength and recovery after an effort. Being deficient in vitamin D can make your muscles weaker and smaller as well as increase your risks of being sick, more specifically developing upper respiratory infections such as the common and frustrating cold. So all good reasons to boost your vitamin D levels!
Sun vitamin … when there is sun!
The vitamin D is often called the “sun vitamin” because our skin can produce vitamin D when exposed to the sun. Kind of like a plant, we need a certain level of sun exposure to maintain our normal functions. However, the sun is not strong and present enough from October to April in the Seattle area to ensure sufficient vitamin D synthesis. If you spend most of the daylight time in an arena, at school or work, it is even worse!
Some foods naturally contain vitamin D such as fatty fish (e.g. salmon, sardine, herring), egg yolks and sun-dried mushrooms. Milk, some yogurts, margarine, orange juice and breakfast cereals can be fortified in vitamin D. However, the current levels of fortification are generally insufficient to maintain an optimal vitamin D level in the blood.
Are supplements needed?
The best way to make sure vitamin D levels are sufficient is to have blood levels tested multiple times annually. This test can be expensive and is not always covered by insurance companies. So what to do if you don’t have access to tests? Studies show that most Americans are vitamin D deficient. Many sports nutrition experts recommend taking daily 2000 IU (“IU” for International Unit) of vitamin D3 (better absorbed than vitamin D2) from October to April. You can easily purchase these supplements at your local pharmacy or online.
Don’t wait for spring to come back to boost your vitamin D levels.
