Playing against boys
Games against Midget AAA teams have helped women's preparation
By Steve Ewen, Canwest Olympic Team; Canwest News Service February 19, 2010
Here's one for gender relations.
The Royals hosted another coach symposium at Centennial Board Room on Monday, Feb. 8 with Mark Maloney and Brian Skrudland presenting on
"Preparing for the Playoffs". Those coaches in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the presentation by Brian and Mark. Brian spoke of his playoff experiences both as a player and as a coach and had some interesting and funny stories to share. Mark Maloney followed with a very informative power point presentation, followed by a question and answer period.
Thanks again to both Brian and Mark.
THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED IN THE SYMPOSIUMS!

PLAYERS, have you taken a look at the new
Player Information Quick Link?
PRACTISE MAKES PERFECTPuck possession starts with each faceoff & every player on the ice must understand and execute their responsibilites. Quite often the centremen get thrown out of the circle and this is why it is important we understand other positions and responsibilities. Competition is a great tool for practising and I am always impressed when a defencemen wants to challenge a centremen in the possession circle.
When thinking back on what made me successful at this position, I look no further than the words my mentors used when speaking of winning face offs.
"IF YOUR NOT CHEATIN', YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO WIN"See you at the rink! Brian Skrudland

MANY THANKS - AMHL Allstar Game
Friday, January 29, 2010
On behalf of the Calgary Royals, thanks to everyone for their efforts in making the AMHL All-Star weekend a success. Chuck, you did an outstanding job in helping coordinate this event, which included more than the Calgary Royals portion of responsibilities. Jan, great work in helping organize the event with Chuck and all the time you spent is greatly appreciated. Thanks to all the parents of the Midget AAA team for their volunteer work at the All-Star game.
The event, was very well presented and it's execution was excellent.
Additional, thanks goes out to Mike Moore and Centennial Arenas for allowing us to host the event there, and Tuxedo Sports for personally delivering 40 water bottles at the 12th hour.
Thank you, Kris Katsaounis
Wow!!! What a weekend!!! On behalf of the organizing committee we would like to thank all the parents from the Royals Midget AAA team . The President of the League was very impressed in the number of volunteers we had from our team which was basically 100% participation. Each quadrate team in Calgary had to committ to a major function and with the dedicated parent group from our Royals Midget AAA team, I knew we could handle the toughest job, which was looking after the practices and the arena and game day events. We had the biggest job which required the most work and volunteers. I was very proud to be associated with the Royals Midget AAA Team and the President of the League and executive were very pleased with your efforts. The parents of the Royals did a great job!!!
A special Thanks goes from me personally to Jan Buckingham , who put in numerous hours and long days and millions of phone calls and emails from me .
Thank you so much Jan for helping me organize the parents .You did a great job and should be very proud of your efforts.!!
Thank you, Chuck Peffers
