| Olympic Winter Games: February 12 to 28, 2010 As you may or may not know, the olympics (winter or summer) take place once every 4 years, and this recent olympics was one for the books, although sadly South African TV coverage was nothing special. If you were lucky enough to view the highlights between 1 and 2 hours a day, you would have a decent idea of what was going on between the hockey, figure skating, speed skating, curling and many more. Obviously our main concern and focus was on the men's and women's ice hockey. The lucky ones that have the German bouquet on DSTV will still be smiling as they had the luxury of sitting back and watching the games live. The Men's final was between USA and Canada. With just under 20 seconds to go the USA came back from a 2:1 score to tie the game. This sent the game into overtime which was an additional 20 minutes played with 4 on the ice instead of 5 and with the golden goal rule (first team to score, wins!). 5 Minutes into the 4th period, NHL SuperStar (although was hardly seen in the entire game) Sydney Crosby gets a tight angle shot on the American goaltender and put the puck away. Canada win! |
TEAM SA - Training camp no.3 Two camps have gone by and major growth has been seen both on and off the ice. This team is equally spread between Cape Town and Jhb with some Natal input. The third training camps is taking place at the end of this month again at Grand West as head coach Ronni Wood will put on the finishing touches before leaving for Armenia on 9 April 2010. Sadly two strong players have pulled out due to personal reasons and line jugglying will need to take place to keep the team in alignment. Additional players should be entering the squad but at this moment in time, nothing is for certain. TEAM SA is still looking to bring home the GOLD medal which means they will need to beat Korea in the finals. They are very confident and training is going well as the next training camp will see them for the last time during an allstar game before they leave. The previous allstar game featured TEAM SA vs a WP invitational allstar team mainly showcasing international players from Russia, Switzerland, Namibia, America and Canada. TEAM SA held their heads high and kept their composure for most of the game to win it 9 - 4. The next all star game will take place on Monday 29 March @ 7pm - Grand West.

| SA Inline Team dominates at QUALIFYING | ||
![]() |
This August the SA national inline team came together for preperation in the Qualifying games against Namibia in Windhoek. The team was made up of players from Jhb, Pretoria and Cape Town, all with an ice hockey background. The squad was able to assemble a week before their daparture to Namibia with the Cape Town players and work through their "plays" and for the team to get to know each other on and off the court. Special thanks to management and team sponsor, Mr Lloyd Birrell, the team was able to prepare 100% and ensure that victory was well within their reach. With 2 days in Windhoek prior to their first game the team got use to the dry air and managed to practise on 2 of the local courts before facing the Namibian national team infront of a packed arena. Both the games were tight and tense with players, management and the crowd on the egde of their seats for the full length of the games. Team SA were consistant and with great guidance from Gavin Smith and Joe Ovilier (SA coach and assistant) SA pulled off two wins: 3-2 and 4-3. This result qualifies Team SA into the World Champs to be held in Chech Republic middle of next year where they will be facing the top 16 countries in the world. We wish them the best of luck and congratulations on this outstanding result. |

No this is not a hoax nor a competition to enter to tag along as a supporter with an all expences paid vacation, it's better! With the interest of International Ice Hockey in mind, and offering a service to the entire ice hockey community, Marc Giot (this sounds kinda odd to write as I am not writing in 3rd person) has arranged with, and been given permission by the IIHF to do a trial set-up and online broadcast of the upcoming Senior World Champs taking place in Armenia from 14 - 19 April 2010. This means that anyone, from anywhere in the world will be able to log onto the IIHF website and watch the entire tournament via an internet connection. As Marc (I) will be playing in the tournament, there will be some organising and preperation with broadband and technical set up at the arena including the filming of the games, but with great backing from the IIHF, SAIHA and Team SA this WILL be a success. With looking to the future, not too distant, it would be a goal to see more ice hockey from IIHF tournaments online so that everyone can watch more hockey!!! Questions or queries - click to email |

| Team South Africa Preperation - Ronnie Wood (head coach) | ||
![]() |
Senior National Team preparation. Well we are on the final approach to the I.I.H.F. World Champs in Armenia. Less than two weeks to departure and most of the hard work has been accomplished. As is the norm we had a couple of late withdrawals from the final team, however rather than being a problem, it presents an opportunity to ice two young players and get them involved in the Senior set-up. The overall average age of the team has dropped from 26 to 23 and the inclusion of two of the U/18 National team players Jarryd Goodwin and Uthman Saamai is testament to the continuation of the regeneration and rejuvenation of the Senior National Team. Seven new caps, a change of captaincy and a new manager Mr Jerry Stevens heralds a new era for the team. The backbone of the team remains the same with David Watson and Andre Marais marshalling the defense whilst newly appointed Captain Jack Valadis, Marc Giot and Michael Fraquet will spearhead the offense. My thanks to Peter Habib, who I hope will be able to be involved in the future. This comes from not only myself but from all the players who have benefitted from his kindness, generosity and selfless support over the last few years. With younger fresher legs comes a new style of hockey with the emphasis on speed and agility. Gone are the days of the laborious break-out and disciplined positional play. This team will be all about pressure. Pressure on the puck at all times and the maintaining of a high speed when in possession. I am extremely happy with how things are going and am very positive about our performance in Armenia. The benchmark I have set for myself is to compete with DPR Korea. Our last encounter went their way with a 6-0 shut-out and my game plan being exposed as completely inappropriate. I have learned from that and am confident that we will give a much improved performance. We have enjoyed great support from S.A.I.H.A. in our preparation and have managed to squeeze in a couple of training camps and exhibition matches against reasonable opposition. This is a big step forward from the past when the players normally get together for the first time at the airport. We kick off with a game against Georgia on 11th April in a pre tournament warm up. This again is a first for us and will be a fantastic opportunity to get lines to gel and see what changes,if any , need to be made. This is a voyage in to the unknown and will be exciting for all of us. Will update later. |

![]() |
The final game of the tournament for SA was against Israel, and this was for the bronze medal. Going into the game, Israel were the favourites, but does that mean anything ??? First period got underway and 28 seconds into the game, Baden Best scores off Uthman Samaai and put the SA team on the board. 7 minutes later Uthman Samaai scores off a feed from Baden Best (roles reversed) and SA are now on their way to a clean victory, but at 11 mins into period 1 Sean Cooper scores Israel's first goal and the period runs out at 2-1. Second period proved to be rather a rough one with the two teams racking up 20 mins in penalties between them, but at 34 mins into the game, Uthman Samaai scores yet again to secure a 3-1 score against Israel. Third period seemed to be all Israel though and in the nick of time, they came back to tie the game with 2 goals from Sean Cooper, the last with just over a minute. Game goes into overtime... Overtime is played for 5 minutes with 4 on 4, but stil no score, which now means penalty shootout! And to top it off, and the man of the hour, scoring the final and game winning goal for SA, Uthman Samaai. Final score: South Africa 4 - 3 Israel |

![]() |
The third game for SA u18, and they see themselves 1-1 (1 loss, 1 win). Going into this game they are very focused and ready to rock n roll. Straight off the bat Jade Johnson puts away a shot on goal assisted by Russell van Heyningen & Cai Nebe, SA 1 - 0 NZL @ 03:08. New Zealand manages to outshoot SA with 16 shots on goal - 10, but first period ends with SA in the lead, 1-0. 2nd period gets underway in NZL's favour with 2 quick goals scored by Gareth Lloyd. A checking from behind penalty ending up in a 2+10 call, gave NZL an edge to lead the scoring 2 - 1. 31:04 NZL's Quinn Drake is sent to the penalty box with a high sticking call and gives SA a chance to level up the score. And they do, Russell van Hyningen scored with Baden Best assisting, 2 - 2, but 1 minute later Conner Harrison (NZL) scores to put them back on top. As if that was not bad enough, 80 seconds before the end of the period, Gareth Lloyd scores to put NZL up by 2 goals, 4-2. 3rd period and all in the 44th minute, 3 penalties are awarded, 1 to NZL and 2 to SA. And yet another penalty to SA allowing a power play goal from Gareth Lloyd to put NZL in a greater distance, 5-2. Glory is looking rather distant for the SA team now. With SA trying to get back into the game, at 48:48 they picked up an interference call on Baden Best with NZL also a penalty on Nicholas Gloag for roughing. New Zealand 5 - 2 South Africa |

Midnight our time or 4pm Mexico time, and on St Paddy's Day, The u18 SA team took on Ireland in their 2nd game of the IIHF u18 DIV III World Championships. The smell of the rink, spectators, world championships underway and face off. SA started the game off with Adam De Carvalho in net and the last line of defense against Ireland. At 01:09 Luke Carlse gets a 2 min penalty for tripping, but Ireland still cannot get on the scoreboard until 6 minutes into the game when Brendan Saunders scores with a go-ahead goal, IRL 1 - 0 RSA. Second period got underway rather heavily with IRL playing physical but being called for 3 penalties in the first 6 minutes with 1 being a 2 + 10 for "checking from behind" and a misconduct penalty. Luke Carlse didnt waste time and scored the go-ahead goal to put his team on top, RSA 2 - 1 IRL. Chad Williams and Heiko Meyer score the 3rd and 4th goal for SA in the 28th and 33rd minute respectively. Third period and 44 mins into the game, IRL's Adam Patience brings his team back within 1 when he scores but was it too little too late? From here on out it was all SA! First from Russell Heyningen at 47 mins, and then Uthman Samaai at 51 mins, which left the score at 6 - 2. SA's next game is against New Zealand which is taking place on Friday at 7:30pm (Mexico Time). |

Sport Development Manager for IIHF (Darryl Easson) recently visited Cape Town, actually just left the mother city, after being in Cape Town for a week. While he was here, Darryl had a great look at how we run hockey, and was at the AllStar game on Monday, with pretty great things to say about it. His main reason for coming to Cape Town, was to develop and put into place the IIHF coaching strategies by empowering SA's head coaches Ronni Wood, Kieren Edge and Eddie Compton with a coaches coaching course. The 2nd part of the week, Darryl with the assistance of these 3 head coaches headed up the IIHF Level 1 Coaching Course which was attended by numerous members of WP and Gauteng hockey. The course was a great success and an eye-opener, with WP hockey making a great friend. A special thank you to Darryl Easson for his time, effort and awesome stories.
