Kawartha Komets Honour the "Real" Super Heroes

Normally I would have been participating in the Annual Kinsmen Club Santa Claus Parade this evening but...I enjoyed the festivities in the warmth and comfort of my pyjamas in our living room recovering from my total knee replacement. So...I sat in my La.Z.Boy recliner...taking fuzzy photos, of the TV screen, showing the Kawartha Komets Special Needs Hockey Program's entry. - David

Article continued following the photos...

The theme of this year's parade was A Super Hero Christmas. The Komets wanted to recognize and acknowledge the many "real" super heroes in our community including our Police Officers, Paramedics, Fire Fighters and the dozens of local agencies and organizations that support individuals in our city and area.

Our thanks to all the players, parents and staff who joined us for this annual event. We appreciated your support!

Thanks to Lisa Hopkinson Mills, our Special Events Co-ordinator, Adam White, coach and board member, for providing the truck and trailer and Komets Founder, Carol Fisher, for her amazing idea of honouring those who serve us so well. If anyone has better, clear photos, please post them. We'll post a list of all the agencies and organizations that we had placards for...later.

ROWAN'S LAW - Concussion Awareness and Protocol

The Ontario Government has enacted Rowan’s Law (Concussion Safety), 2018, S.O. 2018, c. 1 (“Act”). Ontario Regulation 161/19, the Act requires all sport organizations as defined in the Regulation (“Sports Organization”), which includes the Ontario Hockey Federation (“OHF”), to have a Concussion Code of Conduct.

This Concussion Code of Conduct must require participants, as set out in the Act, to review the Ontario Government’s issued Concussion Awareness Resources on an annual basis. A participant is subject to a Concussion Code of Conduct for each Sports Organization a participant registers with. Applicable age appropriate Concussion Awareness Resources are located at www.ontario.ca/concussions.

The OHF Concussion Code of Conduct and the appropriate Concussion Awareness Resources must be reviewed before you can register/participate in the OHF.

• 10 and Under Concussion Awareness Resource

• 11-14 Concussion Awareness Resource

• 15 and Over Concussion Awareness Resource

The Kawartha Komets insurance coverage through the OHF could be jeopardized if our membership does not comply with this requirement.

Thank you for reading this concussion information at this web site and for signing this acknowledgement form and bringing it to the Kawartha Komets Registration Table at the Evinrude Centre at your earliest convenience.
