Page 8, The Herald, Thursday, September 20, 1979 \. ( TERRACE-KITIMAT SPORTS | Hockey coaches get course Minor hockey coaches in the Terrace-Kitimat area get their first chance to get ready for the new B.C, Amateur Hockey regulations regarding coaching certificates at the end of September. Coaches who do not have up ‘to level three coaching certification can obtain this during a three-day level three clinic at Kitimat's Mount Elizabeth High School starting Friday, ..Sept. 2. Although provincial co- ordinator Dave Andrews will be conducting basically a level three session, coaches without levels one and bwo will also be allowed to attend. Later in the season , a level one and two clinic will be held and those who attend this month's clinic as well will automatically be credited as Level Three coaches, Kitimat minor hockey president Pete Runions said the clinic fee of $10 per coach will be paid by their association. It's expected that the same agreement will be in effect for any Terrace coaches attending at Kitimat. ° The new regulation governing certification won't come into action for two years, but all coaches are being urged to get their certification while the opportunity exists. The Kitimat clinic Starts at 8 p.m. on the %th in room 506 at the high school. It runs on the Saturday and Sunday, as well at times to be announced, Terrace Timbermen select four By DON SCHAFFER Herald Staff Writer Tim- The Terrace local bermen, TERRACE representatives in the Pacific Northwest Hockey League, have made the initial cuts on | their preliminary roster, New skating By DON SCHAFFER Herald Staff Writer The Terrace Figure Skating Club has a new coach, fresh from Toronto. Her name is Dawn Nairn, and this is her first year coaching professionally. Nairn just arrived in Terrace last Thursday, and she is already teaching. Although she has not coached professionally before, she put in two years of voluntary coaching in Foronto before coming here. She likes the town so far, especially the relaxed at- mosphere. ‘It's a lot dif- ferent here than Toronto,” she said. “Everyone here seems to take their time, but in Toronto they’re all rushing around.’’ Nairn will be coaching local skaters in the first five levels of figures, among other skills. There are eight levels of figures, and she is qualified to coach all af them, however there are no skaters here in the upper skill brackets. Nairn said that she hopes to be around long enough to see the levels go that high, but that that is up to the management of the club. “Td like to stay and help build a really good club,” she said, ‘but that depends on whether the club likes me and wants to keep me on. We'll see how it works out, but I think I'll like it here.” Nairn herself skated competitively for 15 years, before stopping two years ago. For the first 14, she skated in dance pairs, she and her partner going to the National competitions in Vancouver in 1973 and in New Brunswick in 1974. In 1976 she went into singles competition for a yeur, before stopping altogether in 1077. “] skated all‘ through school, but had to atop when [ gol out because I had to go to work.’’ Nairn said. ‘‘In school it's easier to practice and compete because it’s easy to get time cff from classes. When you start work, you sort of have to besthere or else you won't be working long.” In sther figure-skating news, the club would like to annonce several of its members accomplishmente from the summer. Veronica Lowrie advanced past the fourth figure, and Veronica and her brother Rick qualified for competition In novice dance and variation dance. Donna Lessard also advanced past fourth figure, and passed three of her four gold dance teats. She therefore only haa one dance left to pass before she has achieved the highest level of akill in the national program of skating instruction. This is an impressive advancement for a summer's work. Debbie Badge passed her senior bronze dance test this summer, and Chris Chicoine passed his firet figure and his preliminary dance. Sandra Hislop passed her blues dance, and Ken Brinkac achieved his junior bronze dance, his junior bronze freeakate and his firat figure. This is also an im- pressive advancement in skill for such a short period time, Further registration is still and have got the team down toa size which they will carry through the first exhibition garnes at Jeast, according to coach being accepted by the club.
