T7he games are regular legh and they play once a week, whethor it be a practise or a game. One-on-one coaching is available te playors who require it. Othor teams in the league include the Tarante Grandravine Tornados, Ottawa Ambassadors and St. Louis Gateway Locomo- tives. The season runs from the beginning of Octeber until the end of March. The Dragons always travel on a bus togother but they mae other tripe besides hockey. P'or example, they recently visited the, Hockey Hall of Fame and watched a Tarante Ma e Lafsgame. Xei Dragons are a lot more than just a hockey club. A lot of the playors don't have good com- munication skils and have nover had the chance te have many frien 'do.
