My husband and I, along with our 17-year-old
son attended a game recently. Some of the instructors and
students from Sudbury School of Martial Arts took on the
Northern Sliders. It was a humbling experience, to see the
enjoyment that everyone had, the good-natured, yet, competitive
aspect of the two teams. Sudbury School of Martial Arts lost
6-1, but a great time was had by everyone.
Sliders coach Jack Raymond and his wife are
dedicated to this, as are all the parents, grandparents and
relatives of the players. It s nice to know that hockey can
still be played competitively, but fighting isn't
encouraged.
Too bad there weren't more Jack Raymonds
around and more teams like the Northern Sliders.
