A note about hour and a half practice time slots

2017-10-07

Good morning.  There has been some confusion about how we are scheduling hour and a half ice practice times.   In order to use these time slots effectively a new idea is being implemented which also gives more opportunities for full ice practice time.  The idea is as follows: Two teams are scheduled for this ice where the first team goes on the ice at the beginning of the hour and a half block, and the second team hits the ice 30 minutes into the hour and a half.  The first team will depart the ice after the regular 50 minute practice time, leaving the second team with full ice for the last 30 minutes - this leaves the middle 20 minutes as shared ice time.
 
Example:
 
Today in beckwith:
 
5:00 - 6:00pm - Atom B3
5:30 - 6:30pm - Atom C
 
The hope is that the teams collaborate together on how to effectively use this ice - be creative!  For example: In some cases the teams could use the middle 20 minutes as a joint practice, or perhaps the teams would rather have a 1.5 hour shared ice practice instead.
 
Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!
 
Your friendly neighbourhood ice scheduler volunteer,
Fr. Will McGauley
