Blenheim Hockey School Begins in Late August

 The third annual Blenheim Hockey School will add a new feature when it kicks off Aug. 22 at the Blenheim arena – a division for goalies.

This year’s school, which will run from Monday, Aug. 22 to Friday, Aug. 26, will feature a session for goalies from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m., followed by Atom and Novice age players from 3:30 to 5 and Peewee and Bantam players from 5 to 6:30.

The cost for each of the divisions is $130. Goalies who participate in the goalie division will be allowed to stay and take part in the other sessions if they so wish at no extra charge, while goalies who are not part of the goalie division will pay $130 for either the Atom-Novice or Peewee-Bantam sessions.

Instructors will include Blenheim Minor Hockey Association president Ronny Van Heesch, Blenheim Blades goalie coach Pete Knights, former Blades coaches Dan Oliphant, Brent Rumble and Scott Bacik, and current and past members of the Blades.
