on an exhibition tour of europe but thats where the road has led for brent gibson in a decade spent as a minor hockey coach gibson who blew his first coachs whistle 10 years ago with the wiitchurchstouimle minor hockey association wsmha tyke hockey school is a member of the coaching staff of the europebound minor ban tam clippers the team leaves on saturday for its threecountry six- game excursion with gibsons 14- yearold son andy in the lineup gibson combines a love of the game of hockey with a willingness to help young players achieve their potential in his coaching he remembers the satisfactions of his own playing days when he was a mem- ber of the stouffville juvenile rep team that advanced all the way to the ontario championship round in the early 1970s while gibson takes delight in helping guide this years- minor bantams as they set their sights on a provincial crown he recalls with satisfaction his days spent teaching the game to the entry level players i enjoy coaching the kids its great watching the young players blossom especially the five to six year olds its fun watching some of them go from the bottom to the top in as little as four months for gibson the chance to watch andy and brothers shawn 12 and jeff 9 advance up the ladder of minor hockey was a motivating factor in his becoming involved as a coach i but while hes enjoyed standing behind the bench coaching teams that have included his trio of boys hes also proven committed to looking after the interests of other peoples kids he served as president of the t stouffville baseball association earlier this decade despite thefact his sons weient even enrolled he succecdedin getting that organizations house league off the ground and also filled in as coach and equipment manager among other duties like any exemplary coach gibson believes the empha sis must be on sportsmanship and player development its nice to win but you still try to teach these kids the rules of the game its nice to scethem develop their skills to the best of their potential its a coachs responsibility to make sure the game is being played for the players you have to remember its not for you its for the kids ybutant get all upset and frustrated with the kids some guys takeit too seriously its important to try to rnakeit fun 1 he said coaches must maintain realistic expectations of their players you cant expect a nine year old to be a gretzky out there on the ice theyre going to make mistakes you just have to pat them on the back and get them to go out and try again he said the players appreciate what you do for them years after the season is over i run into a lot of kids that i coached when they were five years old and now theyre taller than me they always acknowledge you on the street for gibson his most memorable season came last year when he watched two of his three sons make great strides with their respective teams shawns richmond hill aaa minor pee wee squad advanced all the way to the ontario finals while gibsons major pee wee clippers including son andy made it to the omi ia quarter finals equipped with his intermediate level coaching certify cate entitling him
