When il cornes tu on-ice action, of tIse rep variety, tbere are a lot of dedicated coaches, managers and parents wbo Iselp make rny job a littie easier via tearn reporta. Unfortuately not every tean lis repre- sented - often because sending in garne write-ups seerna taxing. or people simply don't know tIse pro- cedure. So in order to make tIse process as clear and pain- less as possible. Isere's a few quick suggestions in regard to preparing rep reports. 0f course there's many coaches who've read ail this before, but with Miltoîn expanding ail the time tîsere's goîng lu be at least a few new people on our local hockey scene for whom tis is new, su here it guet. * Details are important. writing style isn't. Offten coaches and parents spend Isours agunizing over how to crafi a report Miten they should be focusing motre attention on including ail tIse pertinent infor- nmationi sucb as when anid svhere the gai-ne was played and whîî did the scorîîîg. Reports are aimost always re-wnitten anyway. sul din't worry about style. In tact, point futrn hand-ins and perfectly acceptable. I can always work with sumething if there's enough detail. but nîît if there's big bolet in the story. - Pllease dilt irîclude every player's name in esers' report.

If your tearn is on a lengthy win- ning streak or a certain player had three hat-tricks in a certain number of games. throw that in. That's the good stuif. -If your team plays both Monday and Tuesday. please just send one report on both garnes rather than one report on Tuesday morning and one Wednesday morning. And if you haven't sent in a report for a week or two, please just write about the Iast two or three games and not half-a-dozen or more. Otherwise. things get tbu watered down and boring. - Please include a phone number where you can be reached during the day in case there are facts that need toi be clarified. Many a tirne I'se seen a 5-2 Milton Winterhawks victory yet there's oniy four goal scorers listed. If there's no way to rectify this, the report sirnpiy can't be published. - I)on't bother svith flower cotaments like the tearn played sseil or tried their best. because îtobody wants to read them. Remember. you're writing for the whole cornîunity. not just your own teain. If your teain nmade a gutsy corneback in the late stages il play or hetd is owýn agaînst an opponient much htgher in tlic standings, theit say that. - Reports can be dropped off at The Champion (875 Main St. E). faxed to (90)5) 878-4943 or c- mailed to siebianc(t lIton search. coin.
