Ross; Team Suffer Disapointment Of Unfortunate Ankle Injury
Every athlete at some point in his career will suffer a great disapointment that will test his resolve and make his appreciation for playing his sport even stronger.
Friday we received news that forward Garrett Ross had broken his ankle in a non-hockey related accident and will be out of action for no less than 8 weeks.
For Ross the injury comes only one week before he was scheduled to attend the USA National Select 15 Festival in St. Cloud Minnesota as a representative of our Belle Tire team.
Not only is the injury a personal disapointment to Ross - perhaps the biggest disapointment he has suffered so far in his young hockey career - but equally disapointing for our team entering training camp and the first portion of our season without this tremendous hockey player.
If there is any silver lining to this unfortunate situation, at least the timing and nature of the injury should allow Ross to heal and get back in action by the time our Michigan MWEHL season gets rolling in early November.

Pre-Training Camp Dryland Program Announced
MEMO FROM COACH JABAR
This 3-week program will take you right into our Fall Training Camp and prepare you for the upcoming season. I will know at the Camp if you have been doing this program. MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY!!!! After all it’s your future.
Please note that the Camp is $300 for both weeks. Please bring a check for this amount on the first day of the camp and make it out to "Jabar Askerov".
Weight Training: Many of you will be or have already started lifting weights. I have a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Exercise Science so please read carefully what I have to say about sport-specific weight lifting for hockey.
You are not a bodybuilder or a football player. There is a lot of misleading information and training techniques that are passed on to young hockey players. Weight training is important for you but you need to know how to train smartly with weights.
Every exercise you do should be geared towards muscle recruitment and muscle endurance because hockey is an explosive sport and your shifts don’t last 5 seconds (like football). What I mean by that is that if you lift heavy weights you are not recruiting the micro fibers (inner layers of your muscles). If your micro fibers are weak, you will get injured down the road. Also, by using heavy weights it makes it harder for you to lift explosively and do more reps. More reps means more muscle endurance.
As you are lifting, use a weight that will give you a chance to do at least 18 reps in a fast pace. You need to lift the weights explosively.
Don’t forget to stretch before and after your workouts.
Duration of training:
Do this program 5 days a week. Take 2 days off. This shouldn’t take you more than 1.5hrs per day. Try to do this in the morning since the air is not as heavy as in the afternoon. If you want to lift weights, I recommend you give your body some rest after your morning training. Go lift in the afternoon…

2006-07 Belle Tire U-16 Places Two Players On NTDP
Defenseman Beau Schmitz and Forward Zach Golembieski, members of last season's Belle Tire U-16 team which won both the Michigan State Championship and the USA National Championship have been selected for the USA Hockey National Development Team Program's U-17 team (US NTDP U-17).
What makes the selection of Golembieski most noteworthy is that he was not selected to attend the USA National Select Festival from the Michigan District as a Select 15 player last summer, and he was not invited to attend the "Final Forty" selection camp for the U-17 team in Ann Arbor at the conclusion of this past fall season.
