REGINA Days after the Regina Pat Canadians Midget AAA team learned the government was postponing the season until at least Dec. 17th and imposing restrictions on training, the team came up with a new practice plan. Athletes under the age of 18 are allowed to train, however only in groups of eight or less. The Pat C’s break their team into three groups and rotate who is on the ice. “We go [with] our three groups at 45 mins and by the time they’re done they get so many reps that it’s almost like an hour and fifteen mins on a regular schedule,” explained Head Coach Darrin McKechnie. “It’s tough to practice knowing there’s no games so anything that we can do to keep the intensity up and keep the interest is a good thing.”
