Dear Parents and Players,

If your a player receiving this please pass this along to your parents, if your a parent receiving this please pass this along to your player. I hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend. Below is the schedule for the summer. For everyone that doesn’t think H.S. player’s get enough training or ice time, this should squash that notion. We have hired a strength and conditioning coach who has a ton of knowledge concerning off-ice training and will be a huge asset and addition to our staff. Costs for things like camp, tourney’s and Kent State will soon follow. If you know of anyone who should be receiving this but hasn’t, please forward this on. I’ve tried to gather as many of the email addresses as possible and I’m sure I’ve missed a few, thanks.

Off-ice workouts will begin at the rink on this date. We will be doing off-ice training on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday throughout the summer until quite time begins in August. This may be more important than the on-ice work that we will get this summer. We need to get bigger, stronger and faster than we were last year.

*6/19/09
4:00 - 5:50 p.m.
8:00 - 8:50 p.m.

*6/20/09
9:30 - 10:50 a.m.

7/10/09 - 7/12/09
Kent State Weekend. This weekend is spent on the Kent State Campus where we will stay in the dorms. We will practice Friday night and Saturday morning. We will also play two games on Saturday and two games on Sunday. We are currently taking applications for “dorm dads” to look over the kids while we are there. The exact schedule should be sent to me soon.

*7/17/09
4:00 - 5:20 p.m.

*7/18/09
8:00 - 9:20 a.m.
12:00 - 1:00 p.m.

*7/19/09
3:00 - 4:50 p.m.

7/24/09 - 7/26/09
H.S. Tournament @ Tamo. Times TBA

*7/29/09
3:00-4:50 p.m.

* These dates mark the times that we will be holding our camp. This year we are going to spread this over a couple of weekends rather than hold it during one, one week period. We feel this will be more beneficial towards the development of the players. All ice times will be at Tamo Shanter, we will have classroom sessions during the breaks in our on-ice development as well as food for the boys throughout the weekends.

August
There is a couple week period in August that is reserved for “quite time” and there will be no communication between the coaching staff and the players. Once the “quite time” has subsided, we will be resuming our off-ice training. Captains practices will begin in September and run up to tryouts. Off-ice training is recommended during said “quite time”.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Have a great summer, I look forward to the development of the players during this time and a successful season next year.

Go Cats!
Coach Jones

Cats escape disastrous 2 minutes, regroup for win

by Coach Elliott on March 2, 2009

The Northview Wildcats will play in their 4th district final in 5 years Saturday night after an emotion draining 6-5 OT thriller this past Saturday at Tam-o-Shanter. Northview will face the St. Johns Titans at 7 for a chance to go to Columbus for the frozen four.

The Cats jumped out to a 5-0 lead mid-way through the second period and held a 5-1 lead with just over 6 minutes left in the 3rd before a flurry of Findlay goals sent the game into the extra session. Sophomore forward Cody Booth would rescue the Cats and send the Northview faithful into hysteria with the game winner.

Northview held a 2-0 lead after 1 period of play with goals from Booth and an end to end rush from Sophomore defenseman Tyler Harding. Kyle Hymore converted a 2 on 1 with Nolan Culver to push it to 3-0. Northview then took what seemed control of the game by scoring 2 short handed goals for a 5-0 lead. First Hymore stole the puck and beat Findlay goalie Travis Friar with a second effort, then Harding got loose for a short-handed break away and the 5-0 lead. Findlay started their comeback effort with a goal to close out the middle frame and a 5-1 Cats lead.

Northview seemed to be controlling the 3rd period and cruising towards a district final match-up when the wheels fell off at the 6 minute mark of the 3rd. A scrum in front of the net on a Findlay Power play started a series of 4 goals in just over 2 minutes that had the Cats reeling. Northview was able to gather themselves and Coach Jones settled his players for an overtime session. Thats when Booth stole the spotlight and sent the Cats to the district final with his rising shot from just inside the blue line.

Northviews previous 3 district final appearances have all come against St. Francis. This will be the 2nd year that the Cats and St. Johns will meet in playoff action. Tickets for Saturday nights game are on sale at Tam-o-Shanter, and may sell out. Get your tickets early and help support your Cats in their efforts to get back to Columbus. Good luck Cats and Congratulations!

The Cats jumped on the board early on the power play as Cody Booth tipped home a shot from Graham Kelsey for a 1-0 lead. Bobby Napierala made it 2-0 putting home a rebound, and the Culver [...]
