Wayne Karlstedt
Wayne was a coach with the London Minor Hockey Association for years,
He had a reputation for helping
players whom seem to struggle with their skills,
and developing their skills,
He never gave up on them.
He continued to encourage them and kept practicing with them until they reached their goal.
Wayne lost his life this past year
and one of the families would like to honour him each year for a coach
in the Initiation program who demonstrates these skills.
Who shows compassion, love for the game,
dedication and the ability to care and help children improve their skills as a hockey
player.
