HOPE GRAD LANDS NEW RINK JOB

MARIJUANA A HOT TOPIC AT UBCM

Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Fewer elementary school stu-dents are entering local classrooms this year.

� e latest headcount shows over-all enrolment in the Fraser-Cascade school district has declined four per cent from 2011, with the major-ity of registered students in Grades 8-12.

“We still have bigger classes in high schools than what we’re enroll-ing in kindergarten,” said secretary

treasurer Natalie Lowe-Zucchet. “� e drop is a little more severe

than I thought it would be, but it has been an ongoing trend. We had forecast this several years back, and anticipate this is going to continue for the next few years and start lev-eling out in about 2016.”

� e preliminary enrolment � g-ures released on Monday show 1,822 students are registered this year, down 75 from the same time last year. Lowe-Zucchet attributes this change to families moving out

of communities in the district. “Obviously it’s been an ongoing

challenge for the board,” she said. “� eir concern of course is still

providing quality education and making sure that we have the re-sources we need. � ey’ve done their advocacy in terms of making sure that some of the funding is maintained.”

� is year’s budget is projected at $21.6 million. Lowe-Zucchet said government funding was reduced by about $300,000 this year, but was

“easily absorbed” by the signi� cant decline in enrolment.

“Right now I think everybody feels a little bit like we’re under-resourced or underfunded, but it’s not like we can’t make it happen,” she added.

“Over the years we have cut back a little bit on programs and servic-es, but we’ve tried to maintain lev-els. I’m hoping parents won’t see a change in the classroom this year.”

Final enrolment numbers will be released in mid-October.

Thirty-nine people paddled canoes and kayaks together in the Skagit Valley on Sunday, in celebra-tion of B.C. Rivers Day.

Hosted by the Hope Mountain Cen-tre and funded by the Skagit Environmental Endowment Com-mission, the event had an educational focus looking at the hydroelectric debate that took place from 1969 to 1983, which ultimately protected the Skagit River from flooding.

Paddlers explored the mouth of the Skagit River together, then paddled south

down Ross Lake and across the interna-tional border, en-

joying breathtaking mountain scenery in all directions.

Accompanied by a full police escort, the 26-member team was joined by alumni rider Brian Thombum to raise money for childhood cancer research and support programs for kids affected by cancer. They stopped at Hell’s Gate Airtram, Elvis Rocks the Canyon Cafe, Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park rest area, and Barry’s Trading Post in Yale before ending the day at the fire hall in downtown Hope. The Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer campaign has raised $27 million in B.C. since it began in 1997. Donations are invested in pediatric cancer research and allow the society to operate support programs that improve the lives of children with cancer, survivors and their families. They are also used to provide financial aid for travel, accommodation and cancer drugs.

The Hope & District Arts Council (HDAC) has amalgamated with the Hope Arts Gallery.

Earlier this year, members of the Hope Artists Guild voted to dissolve their society and become council members.

The amalgamation of HDAC and the gallery is an administrative change with the intention of revitalizing the gallery by broadening the volunteer base and increasing opportunities for funding.

Hope Arts Gallery opened in 1998 with 12 members and now has over 25, who show-case their art and volunteer to run the gallery. Monthly exhibits, in diverse mediums, are held in the Backroom Show to celebrate local and regional artists. Additionally, the gallery exhib-its and sells paintings, raku pottery, photogra-phy, weaving, knitting, fabric arts, turned wood work, a variety of jewelry, pine needle baskets, natural wooden wall art, mixed media and much more. All work is original and handmade. The gallery also offers a large selection of prints and original cards.

Inspection of the tongue is still a part of a regular medical or dental examination. This goes back to the days of early Chinese medicine and began to be done in Western medicine in the 18th century. By observing the texture, colour and appearance of the tissue can signify medical problems and stimulate further investigation.The middle ear contains the smallest bone in the human body. It’s called the stapes (stirrup)and is 0.1 inch long. It is linked by tiny joints to two other bones called the malleus (hammer) and

the incus (anvil). The common names in brackets indicate their shape. These three bones are instrumental in conducting sound to our inner ear. They are delicate and fragile. Treat them with respect.With diabetes on the rise in North America, many people are pre-diabetic and don’t know it. To detect this, your doctor can order a fasting blood glucose test for you. If you are pre-diabetic, exercise and weight-loss are the best solutions. This condition doesn’t necessarily progress to diabetes. You can change your future.

Each year as the cough and cold season arrives, the subject of taking zinc as a cold remedy comes up. Is it useful? Recent studies show that zinc doesn’t reduce the severity of the cold symptoms but can reduce the duration of the cold by 1.6 days from the usual seven days.Our pharmacists are familiar with all the cough and cold remedies to help you weather the winter season.

City councils call for pot

decriminalization

Tom FletcherBlack Press

After a passionate de-bate and a close vote, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities con-vention passed a motion last week calling on the federal government to

decriminalize marijuana.The UBCM placed

major emphasis on the debate this year, staging a debate featuring former B.C. attorney general Geoff Plant, in favour of loosening pot laws, and University of the Fra-

ser Valley criminologist Darryl Plecas opposed. After a lineup of speak-ers on the impact of marijuana grow-ops on communities and crime impact, a show of hands by hundreds of delegates supported the call for de-

criminalization.Metchosin councillor

Moralea Milne remind-ed delegates that Plant termed pot prohibition “a disastrous and expen-sive failure of public pol-icy.” She said more than 500,000 B.C. residents

have smoked marijuana, but she doesn’t support its use.

“Personally I’d rather have a martini, and I’m allowed to, because we changed that very wrong prohibition stance that we had,” Milne said.

Okanagan-Similka-meen area director Tom Siddon, a former federal cabinet minister, said his local police reject de-criminalization.

“I think we’ve been frying too many brains,” Siddon said. “It’s going to aggravate the temptation of young people to move from marijuana, which may well be more harm-less than a few bottles of beer, to being hooked on heroin, cocaine and the chemical designer drugs.”

Prince George city councillor Brian Skakun drew laughter with his comment: “I tried it when I was younger, I turned out OK.” Turning serious, he said the costs extend to police and courts weighed down with marijuana cases rather than “real crimi-nals.”

Abbotsford council-lor Henry Braun agreed with Siddon.

“We produce about 1.5 million pounds of marijuana in British Co-lumbia,” Braun said. “We consume about 185,000 pounds, so the vast ma-jority of marijuana is be-ing exported to the U.S. and other places.”

Port Moody council-lor Bob Elliott said his “quaint, safe city” has seen three gang-related murders in the past six months. He pleaded for support for decriminal-ization.

Coquitlam council-lor Terry O’Neill called decriminalization “the worst of all worlds,” pro-tecting people from sim-ple possession charges while leaving large-scale growing and sales in the hands of criminals.

Nelson councillor Robin Cherbo said spar-ing young recreational users from prosecution is worth it, and even out-right legalization won’t stop the criminal trade as long as pot remains ille-gal in the U.S.

Cariboo Regional Dis-trict director Joan Sorley reminded delegates that grow-ops are destruc-tive to communities and dangerous to police and fire departments.

“They’re huge opera-tions,” Sorley said. “If we decriminalize it, we take away the tool that the RCMP has to try and shut them down and help keep our neigh-bourhood safe.”

New Lieutenant GovernorTom FletcherBlack Press

Nicola Valley rancher Judith Guichon has been named B.C. Lieutenant Governor, as Stó:lo Grand Chief Steven Point’s five-year term comes to an end.

Guichon runs the family cattle ranch in the Nicola Valley. She has served as president of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, a direc-tor of the Grassland Conserva-tion Council of B.C., and on pro-vincial government task forces on ranching and species at risk.

“Mrs. Guichon has dedicated herself to her community, prov-ince and country,” Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a state-ment Monday. “She is a leader

in keeping British Columbia’s agriculture and cattle industries environmentally sound and she has worked hard to promote and protect the ranchers of British Columbia.”

Premier Christy Clark thanked Point for his work and congratulated Guichon.

“She has a deep appre-ciation for the history and traditions of British Columbia and has spent a lifetime ensuring that we all stay connected to our roots – particularly through her work with the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association,” Clark said.

Lieutenant Governors are ap-

pointed by the Governor Gen-eral on the recommendation of the prime minister. They serve five-year terms as the Queen’s

representative in each province, declaring new legislation and perform-ing ceremonial duties around the province.

Point is a former provincial court judge. Before being named to chief commissioner of the B.C. Treaty Com-mission, Point served as an elected chief of the Skowkale First Nation

for 15 years. He also served as the tribal chair of the Stó:lo Nation Government, and Grand Chief of the Stó:lo Tribal Council.

Word from theBEAT

Identity and � nancial fraud are growing trends in the Hope area, ill-willed people get hold of your personal identi� cation, such as a drivers licence, passport, CareCard or credit card, and use this information to � ll out false credit applications. Police often see these items stolen from vehicles that are left insecure or that are broken into by individuals that look for easy targets. Let me give you an example. A wallet is left in a vehicle with the doors unlocked and it is stolen. A credit card is opened in your name and used to purchase several thousand dollars worth of items. You may not be aware of this until you need to purchase a big item and have a credit check done and � nd out that your credit is poor. You can spend years trying to resolve these issues with the credit companies and Equifax. A simple way to protect yourself is to secure your vehicle when you’re not in it, secure any valuable items in your trunk, keep valuables out of sight or take them with you. Remember, it’s al-ways important to report suspicious activities when you see them. In a small community like Hope, the public may have a fear of getting involved for di� erent reasons and Crimestoppers can be a way of providing this information with anonymity. When the crime is report-ed when it happens, the police have a better chance of locating the person responsible for the crime. Please help us combat these crimes by doing what you can to make it harder on the criminals.

The Union of B.C. Munici-palities convention is the political event of the year for B.C. party leaders, especially heading into a provincial election.

Up first was NDP leader Adrian Dix, who drew a large crowd of local politicians last week for the traditional early-morning spot that follows a long evening of re-ceptions.

In contrast to his debut last year, a typical litany of political attacks on the B.C. Liberals, Dix declared he would take the high road. And perhaps mindful of Carole James’ downfall after her content-free speech to the 2010 UBCM con-vention, Dix set out policies.

He told delegates an NDP gov-ernment would restore local au-

thority over Metro Vancouver transit (no more toothless “mayor’s council”) and mountain resorts (no more Jumbo ski resort permits issued over local objections).

Dix would also let communities decide if they want public-private partnerships for large construc-tion projects. (Federal Heritage Minister James Moore later noted that if communities or provinces wish to decline federal funds due to this ideology, they are free to do so.)

Then Dix accused the B.C. Lib-erals of cutting forest inventory spending by 77 per cent over the last decade, meaning decisions like rebuilding the Burns Lake mill are being made “in the dark” for the first time in a century.

That’s a damning charge, so I checked it against forest ministry budget records. As with all gov-ernment programs, accounting changes can give a misleading ap-pearance of large cuts or increases

from year to year. And indeed forest inventory spending has bounced around during the B.C. Liberal term.

The budget for forest inventory staffing and operation was about $8 million in 2001-02, rising as high as $15 million and falling to a

low of $5.1 million in recession-hit 2009-10. The estimate for the cur-rent fiscal year is $9.7 million, an increase to try to catch up with the pine beetle disaster.

Crown forest inventory has in-deed fallen behind due to rapid shifts caused by unprecedented insect and fire damage. But has

spending been slashed as Dix claims? No. It has increased.

Next up was Premier Christy Clark, in full campaign mode. In the Gordon Campbell tradition, she brought the goodies out in her speech to close the convention. More than $200 million has been scraped together to “accelerate” capital projects at schools, hospi-tals and other facilities across the province.

These projects were already on the books, but they’ve been moved up for obvious political purposes. Or at least the announcements will be moved up.

Four-laning of the last narrow stretches of the Trans-Canada Highway east of Kamloops will continue over 10 years. This is a federal-provincial project that will eventually be finished regardless of who is governing in Victoria or Ottawa. It includes some of the most staggeringly expensive road building in Canada, in the Kick-

ing Horse Pass, a short section that could require two tunnels and up to 12 more bridges.

Clark also announced a long-range plan to replace the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River. It will likely be a bridge, be-cause the tunnel is a bottleneck not only for Highway 99, but also for large ships going up-river. This is another project that will proceed eventually, and there is no specific financial commitment yet.

I haven’t found any outright false claims in Clark’s presentation, just the kind of creative accounting and blacktop politics familiar to B.C. voters. As always, I’m pleased to hear from people with specific corrections.

For now, call it a tie. Neither speech represents a proud mo-ment for our provincial leadership.

OpinionPublished at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press

Stewards of our waterwaysCreeks and rivers support

an interdependent web of life and we damage them at our peril.

For much of the last centu-ry, we have done everything imaginable to destroy these critical waterways — burying them, altering their course, polluting them, diminishing their capacity to support life.

It’s a wonder we still have functioning creeks and riv-ers and to which exhausted salmon still return to spawn.

Nature’s resilience can ex-plain why our creeks and rivers still teem with life. But there have been efforts made over the years to improve things and some humans de-serve credit.

Thanks to streamkeepers and other stewards, there are more kilometres of life-sup-porting habitat along these waterways and more fish in the once sterile creeks.

Thanks to wise lawmakers, there are more regulations requiring industry to mini-mize the impact of develop-

ment and resource extraction on waterways, and cities are taking more responsibility and using best practices to protect waterways.

Even the public is getting involved by cleaning up gar-bage during the Shoreline Clean-up, removing invasive species, planting native spe-cies and raising cain when problems arise.

All it takes is one dumb or thoughtless move or a change in government or social atti-tudes, and all that hard work protecting our waterways can disappear.

We should make time to learn about our nearest creeks and rivers and take a walk along them, observ-ing how they still bear life despite their proximity to industry and development. True, they are under threat day by day, but if each of us becomes a responsible steward, they have a greater chance of surviving into the next century.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Are you planning to attend the Rambo: First Blood 30th

anniversary celebration?

Here’s how you responded: Yes 35% No 65%

laST WEEK WE aSKEd:

As everyone in Hope knows, there was a time when there was no means of transport available in Hope, except for taxis. This was “Tough Luck” for any senior who lived alone and lost their driving li-cence. The same for senior couples when both could no longer drive and again the same for people with disabilities. However, thanks to a small group of concerned citi-zens, an organization was formed named Care Transit. Primarily there were only two drivers with the necessary qualifications and the aim was to arrange transport for seniors who had medical ap-pointments in Hope or down the valley.

Recently, more volunteer drivers have been recruited and services have been significantly extended. The drivers are carefully chosen, have clean driving records and have passed the appropriate pro-ficiency tests for the job they are doing. There are two methods of transportation. One is a small 12-seater bus with space for two wheelchairs. The other is by car.

The drivers donate their time and the use of their cars. They are paid milage for the journey.

Here are some of the services now available: q A seniors morning in Hope

(The first Monday every month 10 a.m. to 1 p.m): This will allow you to do your banking, your mail, and pick up items you need from the stores. You will notice that this trip has been arranged on the day that Fields and several other businesses offer a senior’s discount. When you have finished your errands, you may be inclined to finish up your morning by having coffee or lunch with a friend before taking the bus home. The bus will pick you up and take you home. You must purchase a $3 travel card from Care Transit, located at Trails Crossing Friend-ship Centre on Wallace Street. It is wise to book your trip early as the bus has limited capacity. q Cottonwood Mall (The last

Wednesday of every month): The trip to Cottonwood Mall will cost each rider $12 fro the return jour-ney. By the way, there is a pedestri-

an crossing from the mall that will take you past Mark’s Work Wear-house to the Superstore. There is also a pedestrian crossing from the mall to stores such as Winners, Re-itmans and Safeway. By walking a little way up the road past Wendy’s, you can use another pedestrian crossing to safely reach Canadian Tire. This trip picks up at 8:30 a.m. and returns from Cottonwood Mall at 2 p.m. Again, book early. q Cascades Casino in Langley

(Sunday, Oct. 14): Leaving Hope at 11 a.m. Leaving Langley at 5 p.m. Cost of return journey $23. This trip can be repeated if there are enough people to fill the bus.

This is the situation at the mo-ment. So, get together with your friends and support these efforts to make our lives easier, more in-teresting and comfortable. It takes considerable planning and effort to arrange these trips. If they are well supported, there may be more! Those you don’t use, you may lose as it will appear that the effort is not worthwhile.

Apologies to council neededRe: New bridge slated for Hope

(Sept. 26)It was so nice to read that there

is ample money left over from the Kawkawa Lake Bridge budget sur-plus to fund the new Suckers Creek Bridge. The replacement of this bridge is needed just as much as

the Kawkawa Lake Bridge was. My hope is that those of you who were so vocally opposed to the construc-tion of the Kawkawa Lake Bridge and who called into question the integrity, thinking and intentions of then mayor Laurie French and council, and forced a referendum

at our (the taxpayers) cost, will be just as vocal in their apology to Mr. French and council as the proof of their honesty and integrity is now obvious to all. I don’t expect that there will be any apologies, but I sincerely hope I am wrong.

I hope you had a good and relaxing summer and a successful gardening year. With all your help and sup-port it was a good year for the community garden. The watering plan worked well. We were able to donate 10 times the veggies (peas, onions, beans, zucchinis, carrots, broccoli, kale and kohlrabi) to the food bank. Thank you members for all your help, especially to Bob who was mowing the grass all summer long, and to Ruth, Scotti and Emily who helped harvesting veggies for the food bank almost every Wednesday. Emil An-derson and the Ministry of Transportation are coming in the first week of October to do some work. Please clean up your plot before winter. If you want to stick with your plot next year, you could plant garlic or corn lettuce or leave your kale over the winter in the ground.

30th Anniversary of Rambo: First BloodOctober 5- 8, 2012Hope, B.C.

We encourage you to come and enjoy the weekend with the many well organized events.We take our hats off to all the terrific volunteers who put endless hours into organizing this historic and exciting weekend.

Mayor, Council and Staff

We, at the District Hope, would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone to the 30th Anniversary of the Filming of RAMBO FIRST BLOOD.

325 Wallace Street, Hope, BC V0X 1L0 Website: www.hope.ca


On behalf of the District of Hope and council, I would like to wel-come all of you to this very excit-ing weekend of fun, en-tertainment and a stroll down memory lane.

Although 30 years have passed since Rambo and crew were a huge part of our daily life here during the film-ing of the Rambo: First Blood movie, the mem-ories live on.

I particularly recall that when my husband, the then RCMP Cpl. George Johnston, en-countered a suspicious vehicle on Highway 1 speeding towards Hope through the Fraser Canyon,

he made the decision to pull this vehicle over and check it out! A high speed pursuit ensued and ul-timately ended on Wallace Street in front of the Hope Hotel and then down by Dairy Queen where George, with his gun drawn, gave foot chase to two bad guys. There were police cars, red lights flash-ing and sirens blaring. Lots of backup arrived as George leaped over a fence behind Dairy Queen to apprehend one of these fellas. There is more, however, I will let George tell the rest.

Ironically this was the day filming wrapped up and Sly Stallone had just left town. People were used to all this sort of activity and no one really paid attention to the real thing – they just thought it was part of the movie! Go figure, just another chase!

I trust that you will find this weekend packed with action, excitement and entertainment and

I thank you for joining us to cel-ebrate this 30th anniversary cel-ebration!

Welcome to Hope, B.C., the set to one of the big-gest blockbuster movies in the world; First Blood.

In the fall of 1981, Hollywood moved into our community, and for two months took over our streets, dropping over a million dollars into our lo-cal economy. Stars became “locals” and locals be-came “stars.” Everyone who lived in Hope at that time has a story to tell; many will be here to share their stories at the 30th anniversary celebration.

To this day, Rambo: First Blood inquiries stand atop as one of the most requested topics by trav-ellers at our Visitor Centre.

On behalf of myself and the Hope First Blood Committee (Riley Forman, Tyler Mattheis, Inge

Wilson, Dagmar Lucak and Damon Shelton), we welcome fans from near and far to celebrate 30 years of a movie that revolutionized the film industry in British Columbia.

David Morrell First Blood Author

It’s amazing how the film ad-aptation of my novel First Blood continues to gain in stature.

Over the years, its realism in-tensifies, especially because its emphasis on character and its absence of computer effects contrast markedly with the com-

ic-book nature of current action films. My novel was published in 1972 and changed the way thrill-ers were written. In 1982, the film explored new territory also.

Born and raised in Canada, I’m very pleased that the beautiful vistas of Hope, British Columbia were used for this film about an American icon.

Inge Wilson Hope Visitor Centre Manager

When it was first announced in the fall of 1981 that Hope had been cho-sen as a filming location the commu-nity was suspect, to say the least.

Many local residents were quite vocal in their skepticism about Hol-lywood even considering Hope …especially for a film that was budget-ed at $14 million and featured Hol-lywood superstar Sylvester “Rocky” Stallone. All the talk of increased employment and the injection of mil-lions of dollars into the community was scoffed at.

Yet construction began on the Sheriff’s building in Memorial Park soon after. Carpenters also went to work constructing the Outpost gun shop and Seneca gas station. Once the buildings took shape, the com-

munity started to take this Rambo picture a little more seriously. Slowly Hope was transformed into a little American town. A large U.S. Army recruitment billboard was construct-ed. American postal boxes were placed on street corners and neon beer signs promoting Budweiser and Miller were hung in restaurant windows.

Crews began arriving a week be-fore filming and Hope was abuzz with star sightings. One Hollywood icon seen walking around town was Kirk Douglas. Then 48 hours before the start of production, Douglas quit and left town over creative script dif-ferences. Gossip spread through the community. Would this delay pro-duction? Would the movie fold up its tents and go home?

But filming started on schedule and the Hope weather turned wet and cold, exactly what the produc-ers were looking for. Locals mean-while were delighted to stand for hours behind yellow tape hoping to catch a glimpse of the movie stars. Stallone didn’t disappoint them and kept the crowd entertained between takes by coming out the front door of the sheriff’s building wearing deer horns and different hats on his head.

In October 1982, almost a year lat-er, the movie was finally scheduled to be released and everyone was ea-

ger to see how Hope looked on the big screen. New releases tradition-ally didn’t come to Hope for a month or two, but the Hope Theatre owners agreed to book First Blood for open-ing night. Every seat was filled with wide eyed, enthusiastic fans. When the movie began everyone cheered and laughed at what Hollywood had done to our little town, but at the end of it all everyone agreed that it was an experience of a life time. Still, some old-timers remained skeptical as to the impact or significance of all this show business nonsense.

To date, the worldwide box of-fice gross for First Blood is now

over $125 million and Rambo has become an iconic cultural phenom-enon on par with Tarzan and Super-man.

And year after year, First Blood fans flock here from around the globe to visit the big screen birthplace of John J. Rambo. In July 2011, about 2,000 of them came here to say a fi-nal farewell to the “Rambo Bridge” over the Coquihalla River. This year marks 30 years of cheering on the underdog in his rampage for justice and Hope is still reaping the eco-nomic rewards of this movie magic. In Rambo’s own words – “nothing is over.”


❑ Al Pacino, John Travolta, Michael Douglas and Nick

Nolte all passed on the role of Rambo in First Blood.

❑ First Blood was Sylvester Stallone’s �rst non-Rocky

�lm to be a success and thus made him a bona-�de

Hollywood star.❑ �e �lm makers of First Blood were looking for a

location that was a small town with mountains, woods

and streams. Hope was a perfect �t with the close prox-

imity of the canyon settings.

Barry StewartHope Standard

It’s hard to find a good phone booth these days, especially one with ice in it — but if you want to learn how to stick handle in tight situations, former Hope Minor Hock-ey player Kevin Koopman might have a so-lution for you: smaller ice.

Koopman recently picked up a job as as-sistant trainer at the Abbotsford Training Rink, a small-ice facility on South Fraser Way. When the head trainer left to pursue other opportunities, Koopman was offered a quick upgrade and he started his new role in September.

The former BCHL defenceman and 2006 draft pick of the Ottawa Senators had just finished four years of pre-med studies at Brown University in Rhode Island and was hoping to land a junior research position, while taking a year off to apply for medical school.

“The trouble with entry-level research jobs is that they don’t pay very well,” says Koopman. “I was looking at one in New York and it was paying $15 an hour — but the rent was $1,100 a month, minimum.

“I cast a pretty wide net for jobs over the summer and my wife, Devin, found this one on Craigslist,” recalls Koopman. “I applied and within about 10 minutes, they said I had the job if I wanted it.

“Ralph Vos was the head trainer at the time and I had trained with him when I was 13 and 14 years old.”

When Vos moved on, Koopman was ele-vated to the top spot and he is now in charge of planning lessons and camps. He also gives one-on-one and small group lessons.

“I’d say our rink is about 60 per cent of a regular rink size,” figures the Hope Second-ary grad. “The main use for the rink is for three-on-three hockey. It’s good for getting kids used to working in a confined space, which forces them to make quicker deci-sions. Small rinks are hugely popular in the Toronto area.

“They really develop the learning curve of a player,” he contends. “On a large-sized rink, a kid can’t understand why he needs to pass more quickly, because there’s so much time and space.”

While Kevin has been a defensive special-ist throughout his career, his years in elite-level minor hockey at the Burnaby Winter Club and junior hockey have given him some valuable connections to draw on for offensive skills training.

“One dad called me and said he noticed that I was a defenceman — but his son plays center and he wondered if I’d be able to help the kid with his face-off skills,” says Koop-man.

“I told him I’d taken maybe two face-

offs in my life and I was pretty sure I’d lost both of them. But I told him that I’d call my friend and get some pointers.”

The friend happened to be Kyle Turiss, who had a break-out year with the Ottawa Senators last year, after holding out for a trade from Phoenix.

“Kyle gave me some good pointers and I was able to help the kid,” says Koopman. “It was hard for him to argue, when the tips were coming straight from Kyle.”

In addition to the ice surface, the facility also has a skate mill — a plastic treadmill

for skating on.“It’s great for all levels of skaters,” says

Koopman. “We have cameras at different angles for video analysis.”

While mirrors would give instant feed-back — and be instantly broken by flying pucks — the video allows Koopman to re-wind the tape and go frame by frame to show the skater where improvements are needed.

“We also want the skater to get a kines-thetic feeling for what it should feel like to be in the right body position,” he says.

Unlike skating on the ice, there’s no glid-ing on the skate mill. If you stop striding, you’ll be hanging in suspension by your safety harness.

“NHL players are good at shooting while they are skating, while average players like to glide before they shoot,” says Koopman. “The skate mill forces you to shoot while skating.”

Koopman is usually on-site from 1-8 p.m., Monday through Friday. You can reach him at 604-852-3080, or by email at [email protected].
