Annual Member Meeting Garners Record Turnout

ANNUAL MEMBER MEETING TURNOUT

On Monday evening, KOHA held our Annual Member meeting with an unbelievable turnout. We want to thank those in our membership that attended and engaged in dialogue that will continue making KOHA a premier choice for youth hockey development. In the coming weeks and months, you will see continued communications addressing some of the topics touched on in that meeting.

One of the items of every Annual Member Meeting is the voting for the board of directors. We have been fortunate to have board members over the years with varied backgrounds with a common desire to do what is best for youth hockey in southwest Michigan.

We want to publicly thank the following people for their service on the KOHA Board of Directors and their commitment to serving our hockey community; their time and energy to KOHA has been appreciated: Brian Bellware, Mark Osinski, Charlie Porn, and Jeff Thielman. We would also like to acknowledge Matt Kakabeeke's service as he steps down from his seat on the board to complete the transition to KOHA's staff as our Hockey Director.

KOHA's Board of Directors for 2018-19 is as follows:

Dianne Shaffer - President ( term expires 2019)

Pat Ferschweiler - Vice President ( term expires 2020)

Adriana Lewis - Vice President ( term expires 2019)

BODY CONTACT & CONFIDENCE CLINIC

2002-2009 birth year players

Shoreline Hockey Camps and Clinics is excited to offer it's first Body Contact & Confidence Clinic. This clinic is designed specifically to promote safety and confidence on the ice.

The goal of the Shoreline Body Contact & Confidence Clinic is to teach and reinforce the proper techniques of body contact and checking so that players can perform safely and effectively on the ice. Our skilled coaching staff will work to build players confidence, so that they can successfully initiate and receive body contact, possess and take away the puck, and battle along the boards.

Through dynamic drills and small area games, players will be given plenty of opportunities to use and build confidence in the proper techniques covered during the clinic. These include but are not limited to:

• proper angling and checking technique

• how to safely and properly give, take, and avoid stick and body checks

• strategies to win battles along the boards

• confidently possess the puck in tight areas

*Spots are limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
