Novice A compete in the Grimsby Minor/Major Classic Tournament

What a great opportunity for the players to bond as a team and grow their skills during the Grimsby Minor/Major Classic Tournament.

With about a month of time together as a team, the coaches are very pleased with the advances our players are making. This past weekend they asked the boys to focus on five aspects that they have been working on in practice.
  1. Battle for the puck
  2. Play their positions
  3. Backcheck and forecheck
  4. Use their angling skills
  5. Keep skating for the entire game
As we progressed through the tournament you could see the improvement as they began to click as a team, executing on the five tasks assigned by the coaches. 

After each game the coaches were provided an opportunity to recognize an MVP for each game. The first game MVP was awarded to #7 Kyle R. for working hard to win every battle and provide the team with real opportunities. The second game MVP was awarded to #94 Adrian B. for his strong skating and back checking. On several occasions his hard skating helped to assist our defensemen. By the third game it was very difficult to find a single MVP. From a coaching prespective all the boys had done what they had asked. The final MVP was awarded to #87 Gianluca V. for his determination on the boards to win the battles with strong skating and great positioning.

While the team has not found a win on the scoreboard, Coach Sean Mabley has told the boys that they are winning the battle to build the strength of the team. As they continue to execute on the skills they are learning, they will also see the wins on the scoreboard. For now they need to keep working to build the arsenal of skills and strategies they are learning each week, both on and off the ice.

Steve's No Frills
The original nofrills® store was just that, no frills. No product advertising, no store displays, no meat counter, no clerks to bag your groceries, and you had to bring your own bags or pay 3 cents for each. "It doesn't bother me a bit," replied first day customer Frank Atlas when asked about bagging his own groceries. "I've saved a couple dollars with this order." nofrills® introduced some highly innovative retailing concepts to Canadian consumers. While most grocery stores carried thousands of items, that first nofrills® featured only 500. And many of the products were themselves no frills, namely no name®, the line of generic products launched by Loblaws just months earlier. With their distinctive yellow packaging, bold lettering, and low prices, no name® was proving a big hit with consumers. "They're a lot cheaper than name brands, most of them are just as good and some of them are even better," commented one Toronto shopper. nofrills® was able to pass on even more savings by leaving products on display in their cardboard shipping cartons, with the sides cut away. Produce, normally washed by hand and carefully arranged, was left in its original box. At a time when consumers were feeling the pinch of high inflation, many were only too happy to give up the frills to save money at the checkout counter. Loblaws quickly converted two dozen of its stores to nofrills® outlets. Business boomed, but became increasingly competitive through the 1980s. Then, in 1987, Loblaws decided to harness the entrepreneurial spirit of local ownership, changing the stores into franchise operations. Today, those owners proudly put their names out front, from Ron's nofrills® in Niagara Falls, Ontario to Bryan & Alison's nofrills® in Peace River, Alberta, to Roger's nofrills® in Shediac, New Brunswick. A lot has changed over three decades. That first prototype store has grown into more than 150 franchise locations across Canada. While the first stores had only a few hundred items, today's nofrills® has thousands to choose from, including fresh produce, meat and the very popular President's Choice®, as well as no name® line of products. But with all that has changed over the years, the nofrills® concept remains the same, focusing on great meat and produce, commitment to community and trusted low prices.
