Inline hockey returns

Times Reporter

 

Despite a bit of a rocky start last season, inline hockey proved to be successful enough to come back for another year. Last year Lynne Kozma decided to introduce an inline hockey program to Strathmore and Wheatland County. 

“What’s different this year is I have enough that I can run the age groups more separate, so the bigger kids are going to be more challenged because they can play just against each other not just one line here, one line there, their whole game is going to be a constant challenge,” said Kozma. 

One of the biggest problems was finding somewhere to accommodate inline hockey last year. After thinking she had found a solution in Gleichen there was a mix up that had her once again looking for a venue. Eventually everything was solved and the program was granted time from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Family Centre. 

Inline hockey is an affordable option for parents whose children want to play hockey, but may not have the time or money for the ice hockey season. 

The inline program runs for eight weeks, from the beginning of May until the end of June, and is held on Monday and Wednesday nights.

No matter the weather, the games will always take place because they are all indoors. All of the kids will be guaranteed their eight weeks, and all of the games.
