First Ski of the Season!

Posted on 2015-11-21 by | Leave a comment

Coach Ihor has checked out the park and here is the message from him:

Hi everyone:   We will be giving skiing a try this Sunday, November 22!  So pack your skis and a mug for hot chocolate.  

Meet at the Duck Pond on Sunday November 22 at 1:30 p.m. for a great time on skis.

On a safety note, Parents, make sure that everyone stays off the duck pond.  It looks frozen but I wouldn’t even try testing it!  And there are no warning signs posted either!

It should be a great day with a temperature around zero!

Coach Ihor

Just a secondary note regarding the PodiumWear website… if you were attempting to order any APJ clothing this past week and had some difficulties, you were not alone!  Their website went down and they are fixing it.

Therefore, the deadline for ordering APJ clothing will now be further extended.  Coach Katherine will inform us all when she gets word from PodiumWear re: a new deadline.

I hope everyone who checked out the Windsor Park Nordic Centre’s SWAP SHOP survived the craziness there today!  I heard it was a bit wild!

See you Sunday.

Team APJ Wants You! Candy Cane Classic Relay Race (This Wednesday)!

Posted on 2013-12-15 by | Leave a comment

Like to classic ski? With a candy cane? Wearing “seasonal” attire? On a team?

If you answered “yes”, then the Assiniboine Park Jackrabbits would “reindeerly” love for your child (and/or you) to join us this upcoming Wednesday, 18 December 2013, at 19:30, at the Windsor Park Nordic Centre, to be part of one (or more!) Team APJ squads “racing” in the “Candy Cane Classic – Wednesday Night Race #3”.

Here are some important points regarding this event as posted at http://www.ccsam.ca/candy-cane-classic-wednesday-night-race-3:

  • We hope to see you … for our Candy Cane Classic. It promises to be lots of fun. We will provide hot chocolate, candy canes and LED lights for all to wear during the race.
  • The big kids will be skiing 3 x 1.2 km and the smaller kids will be skiing 3 x 800m.
  • Come dressed in seasonal attire and we will subtract 15 seconds from your team time. If the entire team has dressed for the occasion we will deduct an additional 15 seconds for team spirit. Yup, that’s right, up to one minute off if all members are dressed in seasonal attire… Santa hat, reindeer antlers, Christmas tree, snowman, etc.
  • The hand off baton will be a candy cane. If your candy cane travels the entire course without breaking, we will subtract an additional 60 seconds from your time.
  • Teams will be posted by Tuesday night so an early registration is greatly appreciated. Please tell others about registering earlier.
