DETAILS WILL BE COMING IN JUNE Fact #1: One of the first artificially refrigerated indoor ice rinks in the U.S. Red Line Athletic Club youth hockey skates opened in Baltimore in 1894 – the from mid-November to mid-March. Because North Avenue Rink! we are a tenant organization, we work with Fact #2: The first intercollegiate ice the ice time we are allotted in terms of when hockey game was at the North Avenue (the days and times) we are able secure ice Rink between Johns Hopkins and Yale time and how much time (volume) we can secure. on Feb 1, 1896. The game ended in a 2- Because we are a small Club, a young Club and a tenant 2 draw. Club (not run by a rink and do not run a rink), we do live up to the cliché sometimes that we have odd hours of practice. The good news is that because we are not in the ice-selling business, we do not have to skate in traditional fall and spring outdoor sports seasons. You won’t catch a Red Line team at a Labor Day Tournament or even Columbus Day Tournament. Our calendar is self-imposed and offers an alternative to 8-12 month hockey seasons. We do, however, need the utmost commitment during the allotted winter hockey season for all of the Team Level programs. Because we can only get so much ice time, and we are one of the few Clubs that skates a traditional winter season, we are limited as to the number of players we can accept. The players and families that will make the Red Line Hockey program run are the ones that can and will give it their all in the heart of the cold and dark winter months! WANT TO PLAY 2 – 3 TEAM SPORTS? WANT TO PLAY SOME SPORTS OUTDOORS? NOT A PROBLEM RLAC is special in two ways that are especially beneficial for youth “goal sport” (hockey/soccer/lacrosse) athletes. First, the self- imposed calendar that has 4 distinct seasons, means that sports seasons (particularly hockey) does not overlap with the Fall and Spring sports. Playing 2-3 sports as an RLAC player is not a problem because there is “0” scheduling conflict. Second, as a member of AAU, which is a “mulit-sport” NGB (National Governing Body), we do not need to register for multiple 1- sport NGB’s or pay multiple fees to multiple NGBs. Our $16.00 membership fee covers participation and insurance for ALL AAU sports. If your son or daughter wants to play more than one sport, wants to play outdoor sports AND ice hockey (which happens to primarily be indoors) – Red Line Athletic Club is for you! WANT RLAC GEAR? CONTACT BOB AT [email protected] 2 SPRING YOUTH SOCCER & LACROSSE CLINICS ARE PLANTING THE SEEDS FOR THE FALL PROGRAMS – SATURDAYS AT WHEATON SPORTS PAVILION 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM RLAC has secured “field time” for the fall youth soccer and lacrosse programs which are being developed now. We have field time on Saturdays from 10:30 am – Noon from mid-Sept to mid-November when we kick off ice hockey season. The Wheaton Sports Pavilion is great for our programming for a number of reasons. First, it is covered so we don’t have to cancel for any rain days which there always are in the fall, yet it still has the “outdoor feel” because it is “open air”. Second, because it is an enclosed rink, it is great for young soccer players and young box lacrosse players because balls rarely go out of bounds. Third, the Sports Pavilion is right next to the Wheaton Ice Arena, so it’s easy to skip over for Public Skate or Stick and Puck, before or after playing at the Pavilion. Lastly, indoor soccer and box lacrosse are super fun! If interested in playing soccer and/or lacrosse this fall, do make sure to keep this time slot open. Information will be out very soon on Fall season info. WHAT IS BOX LACROSSE AND WHY IS RLAC INVOLVED? Box Lacrosse is lacrosse in an enclosed rink (may be indoors, but not necessarily). This brand of lacrosse evolved in Canada in the 20s and 30s in ice rinks that were down during the summer months. To this day, Box Lacrosse, or Boxla, is the more popular form of lacrosse “up North”. It is becoming increasingly apparent that the “box” version is especially fun in its own right because it encourages shooting, has less out of bounds balls and allows goaltenders to “pad up”. Not only is it fun, but it is especially helpful for players that want to transition to “field lacrosse” or supplement their “field” lacrosse experience. Like hockey, more and more Canadian players are showing up on NCAA College Lacrosse rosters, and many coaches attribute this fact to their boxla experience. Because there is some friction between some in the “field” lacrosse community and those “I believe that box lacrosse gives young people many more in the “box” lacrosse community (similar to the opportunities to excel in our game. If I had my choice, I would relationship between inline, dek and ice hockey), have every player under the age of twelve play box lacrosse exclusively or at least a majority of the time. The number of US Lacrosse is not involved in box lacrosse touches of the ball and the ability to develop better stick skills in programming. As a result, AAU is now the major a game of box lacrosse, far surpasses what happens to young player in organized Box Lacrosse at the youth people on a 110 x 60 yard field. Learning how to pass and catch level. This is good news for Red Line Athletic in traffic, understanding how to shoot, and developing a sense of Club because our AAU memberships and physicality are all positive traits developed by the box game.” affiliation allow us to fall under the AAU - Bill Tierney, US Lacrosse Hall of Fame, Denver University Umbrella for Box Lacrosse as well as our other Head Coach, Princeton 6xNational Champion, Team USA 1998 sports. 3 SENIOR SOCCER RESTARTING JUST IN TIME FOR WORLD CUP SEASON!

  • Ferent Ice Hockey Arena Dasher Boards
    1 COMPARISON OF IMPACT CHARACTERISTICS OF DIF- FERENT ICE HOCKEY ARENA DASHER BOARDS Piritta Poutiainen Master Thesis in Biomechanics Spring 2012 Department of Biology of Physi- cal Activity University of Jyväskylä Supervisor: Janne Avela 2 ABSTRACT Poutiainen, Piritta 2012. Comparison of impact characteristics of different ice hockey arena dasher boards. Department of Biology of Physical Activity, Universi- ty of Jyväskylä. Master´s Thesis in Biomechanics, 65 pp. During last years the incidence and severity of ice hockey related concussions have been increased and, hence, something should be done to stop this growth. The main aim of this study was to find out how dasher board materials and structures affect impact characteristics and, thereby, the risk of concussions. The measurements were divided into two parts; in the first part, the physiological characteristics of body checks were determined in real game measurements, and the second part, consisted of simulation of body checks in the laboratory. High speed cameras and accelerometers were used to collect data. More flexible protective shielding material (dasher board B) resulted in lower peak force and stiffness as well as greater stopping distance compared to the other dasher boards. However, the dasher board with flexible protective shielding material including shielding supporting posts resulted to be non-consistent and, thereby, that kind of dasher boards cannot be classified as safe ones. Single-framed dasher board was detected to be more flexible than dual-framed counterpart and heavier protective shield- ing resulted in significantly higher element stiffness (p < .05). With this study it was shown that modification of the materials and structures of the dasher boards give an opportunity to affect impact characteristics and, thereby, the concussion risk.

  • The Selection and Role of the Fifth Player
    Vol.1 No. 7 The Selection and Role of the Fifth Player (a subsidiary of TRUE NORTH CURLING INC.) PRESENTS THE COACHING SERIES… “A PANE IN THE GLASS” Foreword by Bill Tschirhart It is a pleasure for True North Coaching to publish an essay by someone who very likely never dreamed he’d be the coach of an Olympic champion. Sometimes the best things in life happen when we least anticipate they might. Such is the case with Toby McDonald. Until the Torino Winter Olympic Games, his most notable curling achievement by far was a Brier title in 1976 as the mate for Jack MacDuff. It is still Newfoundland & Labrador’s only Brier championship but when Brad Gushue needed a coach for his team’s run at the Curling Trials leading to the Torino Winter Olympic Games, Toby was the one the team wanted and a great choice it was! By now, several books have been written about Team Gushue’s Gold Medal performance in Torino and I’m personally pleased that many of the authors have noted the contribution Toby made. All was not blue skies and roses for Team Canada during those Olympic Games and had it not been for the expertise of Toby, the result might have been very different! Toby sent this essay to me several months ago re. the role of the fifth player and how to ultimately select someone for this most misunderstood position. I asked if he might allow me to publish it in the “A Pane in the Glass” series which he graciously has done.

The completed PD/ESF becomes part of the “federal administrative record” in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its implementing regulations. The PD portion of the form captures administrative and descriptive details enabling the NPS to understand the proposal. The ESF portion is designed for States and/or project sponsors to use while the LWCF proposal is under development. Upon completion, the ESF will indicate the resources that could be impacted by the proposal enabling States and/or project sponsors to more accurately follow an appropriate pathway for NEPA analysis: 1) a recommendation for a Categorical Exclusion (CE), 2) production of an Environmental Assessment (EA), or 3) production of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The ESF should also be used to document any previously conducted yet still viable environmental analysis if used for this federal proposal.
