HELP NEEDED URGENTLY!
The Windsor Minor Hockey Association will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary this August 21st 2010
WMHA is in the process of gathering sponsors for their upcoming gala which boosts 700 guests. Sponsors are recognized in a program that is handed out to each guest.
It may seem like a long ways away but an event like this takes time to put together and the organization needs to know how much money they will have in their budget to plan the event.
They have sponsorships available for as low as $150, this is a great way to get your company name out there and help some youngsters play hockey here in Windsor at the same time.
Please give whatever you can for a great cause and show the community you care about the kids and want to help keep them on the ice and out of trouble.
For more information please contact WMHA President Dean Lapierre drdean@mnsi.net
Here’s to another 50 years!

Keep young athletes hydrated to ward off heat illness

Recent heat wave prompts calls for regular water consumption during vigorous outdoor activities
Rosemont, Ill. (July 28, 2010) – As America’s young people gear up for organized football, soccer and baseball practices this July and August, record high temperature forecasts have prompted medical experts to call for drinking water: more, early and often.
“To stay active and healthy, young athletes need plenty of the right kinds of fluids,” said Marjorie J. Albohm, MS, ATC, a member of the STOP Sports Injuries campaign and president of the National Athletic Trainer’s Association. “Staying hydrated is extremely important because water is what delivers oxygen to the muscles, providing fuel for grueling summer workouts.”
The STOP Sports Injuries campaign (www.STOPSportsInjuries.org)—launched this spring by the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and a coalition of other health-related organizations—aims to arm the public with information and tools to prevent, recognize and treat the long-term consequences of sports overuse and trauma injuries to children.
“Whenever young people are outside playing or practicing in the heat, they need lots of fluids to replace what their bodies are losing through sweating,” said leading heat illness researcher and professor of kinesiology at the University of Connecticut, Doug Casa, PhD, ATC, FNATA, FACSM. “If the body isn’t replenished, dehydration can occur and increase the risk of a serious heat illness like heat stroke.”
Casa, Albohm and other sports experts warn coaches, trainers, parents and athletes to diligently monitor their conditions, being especially mindful of the symptoms of heat illness:
• Chills
• Dark-colored urine
• Dizziness
• Dry mouth
• Headaches
• Muscle cramps
• Thirst
• Weakness.
Those young people just beginning summer practices for organized sports—like football, baseball and soccer—are particularly vulnerable to suffering some form of heat illness.
Casa recommends that young people drink at least eight ounces of fluids—such as water, juice, or sports drinks like Gatorade—before beginning outdoor activities, and up to five ounces more every 20 minutes during the activity.
