We are now accepting admissions for our fourth Wannabe Goalie Clinic. This is a free 2-hour on ice clinic for Novice and Atom level children in KDMHA. So, if you have ever wanted to find out what it's like to be a goalie, come on out and give it a try. 

The goalie equipment is on loan from KDMHA, so all you need are your skates, socks, necker, pants elbow pads, helmet and strap. 

The date has not yet been set, but we hope to have a date in late August. There will be an equipment "try on" before.

Interested? Please send an email to lajla.h@xplornet.com or call any board member to sign up. Space is limited to 20 children.

Adam Harlow died tragically on March 24, 2002 at the tender age of ten.

He began playing hockey in 1999 for the Kemptville Panthers and, like many children, suffered from low self esteem. In 2001, a very noticeable improvement came over him when he was chosen as his team's only goalie. This change was directly attributed to the camaraderie and team spirit provided by his team mates and the game of hockey, which became his greatest passion in life.

In 1999 both Adam and his best friend decided to join the Kemptville District Minor Hockey League to play on the same team. After registration, Adam called his buddy and was very discouraged to hear that his friend's family could not afford the high registration fees and therefore could not play. A very touching moment occurred when Adam innocently turned to his mother and asked if she could pay his friend's registration fees, too.

As a tribute, the "Adam Harlow Fellowship Fund" was created to help give Kemptville District children who would not otherwise be able to play hockey, the opportunity to learn and continue to enjoy the sport by financing their hockey registration fees.

Donations are welcome in supporting this very worthy cause.

The Ottawa International Hockey Festival, more commonly known as the Bell Capital Cup, takes place in arenas throughout the Ottawa area each year in late December to early January. It began in 1999 and showcases the talents of Atom and  PeeWee aged players around the world. Through time the tournament has grown to become the largest of its kind in the world today.

In addition to the regularly scheduled games there is a Skills Competition and an All Star Game for all competition levels.

The All Star Games award three stars per game with trophies for:

• best defenceman
• best forward
• best goalie

It is a great honour that this prodigious tournament has chosen to name the best goalie award after Adam, and called it the “Adam Harlow Trophy”.
