Neepawa Breakfast Club

On Feb 24, the Neepawa Breakfast Club held the final session of the season with another successful finish! Thank you to head organizer Landon Cameron and our hometown team the Neepawa Natives for sharing your time and talents.

Breakfast preparation would not have been possible without Ann Kuharski allowing use of the Yellowhead Centre kitchen facilities and the many parent volunteers who cooked and donated supplies. Many thanks to all of the businesses whose donations allowed the program to take place. Great team effort!

The Neepawa Breakfast Club is a non-profit group that focuses on hockey skill development. All are welcome to attend.  The program runs from November to February on Wednesday mornings from 7:15 – 8:00 at the Yellowhead Centre.  The cost covers ice rental fees and food for breakfast.  The sessions focus on individual stick handling and puck movement drills.  We are fortunate to have Landon Cameron organizing the drills along with at least four Neepawa Native players in attendance.  Not only do the players improve their skill set, but they have fun learning from our local hockey heroes!

After the 45 minute on-ice session is done, the players are fed a hearty breakfast prepared by parent volunteers with a portion of the food supplies being donated.

Along with the benefits of hockey skill development, studies indicate that children who participate in morning exercise are more alert and productive at school!
