Good evening Blizzard families, All of our skaters are looking great on the ice, it is great to see new and old faces around Kin1. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask, any of our "more experienced" parents can point you in the direction of someone who can help. A reminder to all Learn to Skate families - as part of the Learn to Skate program, skaters are entitled to compete in one local competition. The PG Blizzard are hosting the Central Interior Challenge on Saturday, November 25th, 2017. Watch for more information in the coming weeks. *********************************************************************************** 1. Fort St. James Officials Clinic On behalf of the Fort St. James Falcons, I am forwarding the following message from Sandra Sulyman: Our club is hosting a Level 1 Official Clinic the Friday evening before our meet, from 5:30 to ~ 8:00 pm. REQUEST: I am hoping that you would be able to share this announcement and also promote attendance if there are any parents needing to take the course.
Thank you for helping with this! Sandra 250-996-3350 (cell) 2.

Upcoming PG Officials Course and Information We are hosting a Level 1 Officials Course at Canfor House by the Oval the night before our meet, Friday November 24. Info attached. Anyone interested, please let me know directly, by email theakerley6@gmail.com. Cost will be covered by the BCSSA. Taking this course does not commit you to anything. It is beneficial to anyone new or old to speed skating and officiating and/or it will allow you the potential to become a Level 1 Official in your interested position after assisting at some meets during the year, if you so choose. So as many of you know, our meets are all run by volunteers! In order for the meets to run for our kids, there needs to be parent volunteers that are willing to help out. So, please consider officiating this season! You don't need any experience to get started and you can chose a position that might interest you. Most start out with timing, place judging or even helping kids get their skate guards on after a race. There are other positions such as:
For those of you who have officiated before in one of these positions and are interested in Upgrading to a Level 1 Official by the end of the season, in the position that you've been practicing, please let me know and I can help find out what you need to do. Anyone interested in helping out at the PG meet on Nov.25, see Kerri Mcleod, the Meet Coordinator, or let me know. Lots of information! I'm still learning too! If you have any questions please email me directly at theakerley6@gmail.com or corner me at practice. If I don't know the answer, I can find someone who does! Thank you! Any Q email me directly theakerley6@gmail.com. Emily AKERLEY Meet Entry Coordinator Officials Liaison 4. Equipment Here is a quick reminder of safety equipment that is required to be worn by all skaters for short track https://www.bcspeedskating.ca/skate-with-us/required-equipment/ Quick reminder that Speed Skating Canada recommends that helmets have a lifespan of 5 years, please check the date in your helmet to confirm it is safe for your skater to wear on the ice. Also, the club is looking for donations of soft guards for our learn to skate program. If you have an older pair that are no longer in use please bring them to Dave Konwicki, Equipment Manager. 5. Ice Cancelled - Hallowe'en October 31st Correction to last week's message, ALL ICE is cancelled on October 31st. ******************************************************************************************* Thank you, and have a great week.
