For some, playing summer hockey is taboo – the thought being that the summer should be put aside for soccer, baseball or lacrosse. But others have found 3 on 3 hockey to be a fun alternative to the usual 5 on 5 format of winter hockey and perfectly suited to the demands of summertime. With wide open ice, 3 on 3 hockey is a high tempo game that improves speed, endurance, acceleration and gives each player many scoring opportunities. Offering divisions for boys and girls of all ages and skill levels, players are challenged offensively and defensively. And since there are no formal positions in this game (aside from goalie), players are allowed to use their skills and instincts to play creatively, leaving the “system” style of hockey for the winter season. In the words of Dave McConnell, a local father whose son has played in net in this game for a number of years, “There are so many things I like about 3 on 3 hockey. First off, it unclogs the game so that players have lots of room on the ice. Secondly, the game provides LOTS of skating, LOTS of passing and LOTS of scoring. As the father of a goalie I LOVE the idea of MORE shots on net! Overall, I think this provides excellent development for kids who love the game.” Since the inaugural 1998 season, the Canlan Ice Sports Oshawa 3 on 3 League has seen tremendous growth in registrations and popularity. “I don’t believe there is another league around like ours”, says Oshawa’s Program Manager, Michele Ernst “I truly believe that we offer the best organized league around. We take great pride in the level of customer service we offer, not only at the point of registration, but throughout the entire season.” “All of the staff at Canlan Ice Sports Oshawa are very professional and extremely helpful. It’s always a pleasure to deal with Michele and company.” added McConnell. Whatever sport or activity your child participates in this summer, the most important thing to remember is that Fun, Friendship, Fitness and Fair Play should be the main focus. Registration is now underway for the Spring League beginning April 16, the Sunday Only league beginning May 13 and the Summer league beginning June 11. Girls only league beginning May 25.

A lush bouquet at the McLean Community Centre WINNER AJAX — Spring is almost here, and while flowers haven’t started blooming yet, you’ll see many at an art exhibition in Ajax. Dianne Huson and Anne Labelle-Johnson are displaying their art works at the McLean Commu- nity Centre in Ajax for a month. Labelle-Johnson likes painting flowers, gar- dens and landscapes, and recently began painting in acrylics. Painting flowers comes naturally to Huson Let’s get started - she’s a florist and some of her subjects are the flowers in her home garden. She started painting in oils and made the jump to watercolours. The McLean Community Centre is at 95 Magill Dr. (at Westney Road). To see the women’s works, visit the centre until April 16 (Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.).
