Hi all

We are not running our summer camps as we move forward post 2022. We are retooling our coaching to run small private clinics and events. We will be posting about that as they come up.

Hi all here is the first of the camps that I have received. Please email Derek Dimuzio directly at [email protected]

“Good Day,
I hope everyone had a fantastic season this past year. It was great to get back to playing the game we all love!
I wanted to let you know that I will be running a defense skills week during the 3rd or 4th week of July. I have asked for ice time and I am just waiting to hear back. Once I hear back I will forward exact dates and times.
If you are interested in having your son/daughter skate that week please let me know.
Once again the focus will be on:
-shooting techniques
-changing the shooting angle
-breakout habits
-strategies to scan the ice
-puck protection strategies (escapes)
-catch and release habits for passing and shooting
-backwards pivots and C Cut
-neutral zone habits and strategies
-studying the mental aspects of playing sports
-much more

Thanks for considering participating in this unique opportunity to develop your son/daughters skills level. Please pass this email on to others if you can.
Coach Derek”

Hi all

With all things Covid and all that our families have been through it is so great seeing so many of you at the rink again. This summer our family has decided to change beehive and we will be helping out some of our friends run their summer camps. As such, we have decided to close our normal summer program. This was a hard decision but one that after all we have been through, was right for our family. We are so blessed to have all of our summer memories and to have met so many great families. As we transition to more weekday programs and clinics we will be posting those as they open. Thank you to all of our families.

Hi all

We were hoping that this summer would see the rise of our summer program. However, without vaccines for all of our age groups and some logistical challenges, we have decided that we will put another summer on hold and wait to hit the ice when we can have fun and we all can be safe. As always we support all of our local camps (Derek Dimuzio, Scott Jones, and Jeff perry and all the other great camps that are getting back on the ice). We have been so appreciative of all your support and we hope that we can be back to normal by next summer. We will be hosting our small skills and shooting starting in the fall once more rinks open up. We hope you all have a great summer and start to your season.

Hi all

Well I hope that the last few months have been safe and that all of our families are are doing well. We have blocked the ice with the city and we are looking forward to a 2021 season. We will be posting info in the coming weeks but we just wanted to let you know that we are planning a season. We will be running six groups and possibly a 7th (4-6, 6-8, 7-10, 9-11, 11-13, 12-15, bantam/midget game). We are not sure how Covid will affect our season or what it will look like for numbers in groups. We will be sending our emails in the coming weeks and looking at getting back on the ice with all of our families by April.

Stay safe

Hi all

These were just put out by Hockey Canada. We will have to await The Government of Ontario, OHF, SARNIA Lambton, and the Ministry of Health for a timeline to return. Here is the Hockey Canada announcement and procedures.

Safety and protocol resources will help hockey associations and leagues meet standards for hygiene, return-to-play protocols and the use of facilities.

Hi all

Just an update. We are about halfway through contacting all our parents. I am hoping to have this completed by this weekend. If you have not received any emails by early next week please contact me. It is a long process, but please know we are working as quickly as possible to reach out to each of you individually.

Hi all

Paul, the coaches, and I are hoping that this message finds you well and your family safe. We just received the email about city facilities on Friday and we have been working on a plan this weekend. As you may have been aware city facilities are to be closed until July 3rd with an evaluation mid June to determine if they will open July 3. We have a plan and we will be emailing all our families this week and proceeding from there. We hope that you are all safe, we miss our sport and we miss our families but we want all of you to be able to enjoy our sport when it is safe to do so. This will be emailed out later in the week.

Stay safe

Brent, Paul, and The coaches.

Hi all

I want to start off by saying thank you to all our families and I hope you are all safe. I wanted to update everyone about where we stand. We had a brief email on Friday about this up coming month and as of now the city facilities are indefinitely unavailable. Saying that, we have several contingency plans with the city and we are planning on another great summer of Beehive. Our original start date was April 19th but that will not be the case. So as of this email we are in holding pattern with the following updates:

1. Registration remains open.
2. Any registration or date changes will be communicated via website and social media.
3. If a shortened or modified season occurs, registration fees will be adjusted.

We at Beehive want you to know your family’s health and safety is our primary concern. We will be in contact with you as more information becomes available. Please stay safe so we can all be back at the rink.

Brent, Paul, Jen, Phil, and the coaches.
