Report of our hockey team in Calgary |

Monday, 16 May 2005 |
What a blast weekend we had in Calgary on May 13th to 15th!! Our boys and coaches did a terrific job winning the series with Team USA 2-1.  First game on Friday morning:
Despite of our late practice on Thursday night, we played well and shutout USA 3-0.
Second game on Friday afternoon:
Good game though but bad referee calls, we lost only 6-5 to USA.
Third game on Saturday morning:
We played well but allowed a few soft goals, which we should have stopped. Team Canada Amputee came back to win the game erasing our lead 4-2 after 2nd period. They won 5-4.
Fourth and final game on Saturday afternoon:
We played well in the 1st period, which was scoreless, and they led 2-0 with 2 powerplay goals after second period. We tried hard to come back and we really did. Cole Pearson scored a powerplay goal late in the 3rd period and then only one and half minute left, Mark Howitt tied on his breakaway. Game was tied so we had shootouts. Big thrill! Tyler Plett allowed the first 4 goals and then blocked the rest when Scott Savard scored the winner to win the game 3-2.
Our boys played well and enjoyed playing together and they all worked together well.. I am proud of these boys..

On March 18th, My meeting with Janice Wasilew, the executive director for Hockey Canada at the Hockey Canada Head Office in Calgary, Alberta appears to be on the right direction. It was a very good meeting. Ms. Wasilew has been quite helpful to assist us in some area. The major topic of the meeting was seeking a better communication, relationship and as well wearing the Hockey Canada team jersey during the Winter Deaflympic Games as well World Deaf Ice Hockey Championship in the future. It does not mean the end of the CDIHF logo and we will continue to wear the CDIHF jersey for other ice hockey events.
Other major news, they will add our logo on their website as well as we will also use their logo on our website in the future. Any of the requests from Hockey Canada must be put into writing and as well receiving full authorisation.
The Hockey Canada may try to assistant Canada Deaflympic Hockey team with things such as training period and site. For example, we usually train at Teen Ranch in East Caledon, Ontario. It is one of the finest hockey atmospheres in Canada. Another site is at University of Calgary and the Father Bauer Arena in Calgary where most of the Canada Olympic Men’s & Women’s teams train there. The same goes for Junior and under 18 Hockey team. Our treasurer will be working on it and send the training camp quotes to the Canada Deaf Sports Federation as it is part of the training process under Sports Canada.
We are pleased to make announcement of the new hockey liaison secretary, Brenda Stanley of Winnipeg, Manitoba have replaced Larry O’Brien of Ottawa. Brenda was one of the Winnipeg Ice Hockey Committee during the 4th Canadian Deaf Ice Hockey Championship. Larry was one of the essential staff along with Mike Merriman when they got CDIHF into Hockey Canada Annual Meeting in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was a turning point for us and that lead us to enter as a partnership with the Hockey Canada along with all hockey association.
In addition, on March 19th at the Calgary Hard of Hearing and Deaf Centre, I was introduced by the member of the Calgary ice hockey committees run by chairman Mark Kusiak. Marty Rabu of CDIHF, vice president was also at the attendee. I was given the tour of the ice arena as well as other venues. We are expecting four teams two from Western Canada, Ontario and Quebec. As well as possibility, the Women Deaf Ice team participates one or two games as a “showcase”. It may be the first time in history to watch the Deaf women plays. As well as the possibility of having old-timers, team participates in one or two games depending on ice availability. As well as possibility having Deaf and Hard of Hearing children playing on “3 on 3” with a mini board between the blue lines.
We are expecting to have another training/try out camp in either in Calgary, Alberta or East Caledon, Ontario sometime in early August, 2006 similar as we had on September, 2002 in East Caledon, Ontario. There were three players invited to the tryout camp made the 2003 Canada Deaflympic Hockey Team.
The appointment of the Head Coach will be announced shortly, as well as the assistant coaches. Marty Rabu is given another position as a player director as he has recruited several excellent players in the past.
We know that we have a lot of work to do to defend the gold and hopefully go for three-peat gold in the next Winter Deaflympic Games in Salt Lake City, Utah. For more information about the Winter Deaflympic Games, please browse at www.2007deaflympics.com or at www.deaflympics.com.
The Western Canada Selects hockey team made up of mostly from Western which will plays against the USA Deaf hockey team on May 13th and 14th in Calgary, Alberta. As well as one game against the Canada Amputee Hockey team. The Hockey Canada and International Ice Hockey Federation (I.I.H.F.) sanctioned the tournament run by Canada Amputee Hockey and Alberta Amputee Hockey Association as part of the Alberta Centennial. I have informed one of the internal directors of the Canada Deaf Sports Association. Go Canada Go Roy Hysen |

Direction: Take 401 West or East off Dixie, go south on the first light turn right on Matheson. Following the game fans will have opportunity to meet the players for autograph and photo taken, also meet several players from the 2003 Gold Medal in Sweden during Deaflympics Game. Message from the President of the newly formed the CDIHF Alumni. My name is Danny Daniels, Alumni ’86. I am looking forward to gather all the former players across Canada who has proudly worn the Canada Hockey Jersey on their chest. Whether it was several years, or just a few games, your contribution was invaluable to the success of the team. Each player worked towards one goal, to win the Gold Medal/Championship Game.
Another great part of the Canadian Deaf Ice Hockey Federation tradition is the CDIHF Alumni. It’s not surprising that our main goal is to encourage and promote Deaf Hockey. Also the Alumni will provides an opportunity of our players to get together with former teammates, coaches and team officials in social settings such as attending The Deaflympics Training Camp, Deaflympics Game in Utah 2007, Deaf Youth Hockey School/Camp and the annual Golf Tournament. The Alumni is asked to support charitable organizations by making appearances at various events, such I just mention to name a few.
The Alumni strives to promote the heritage of the CDIHF and also takes pride in its efforts and initiatives to advance its relationship with the community across Canada. The CDIHF Alumni expresses its appreciation to the Canadian Deaf Ice Hockey Federation for continue support and wishes the club every success as it strives for the ultimate prize of “The Gold Medal”. I thanks Eugene Franciosi, the President of CDIHF for giving me the opportunity to formed the newly Alumni Club.
