NEW HOCKEY COACH

This could be a banner year for the
Douglas College Royals hockey team
under new coach Terry Kirstein. With
15 years of coaching experience, in-
cluding his current scouting position
with the Major Junior A Seattle Thun-
derbirds, Kirstein’s record is one of
success.

Kirstein has coached in every type of
hockey league from Major Bantam to
Major Junior, including a Memorial
Cup victory in 1966 with the New
Westminster Royals. His key to
success is quite simple - controlled,
rigid discipline and teamwork.

“Once | develop a system, | expect
everyone to play that system,” says
Kirstein. “| won't change the rules of
the team to fit one player whether they
are a superstar or not.”

Last year, the Royals hockey team
placed second to Cariboo College in
the provincial championships earning
them a spot in the nationals, and while
they lost every game, they lost them by
close scores.

With the resignation of last year’s
coach due to time constraints, Betty
Lou Hayes, director of the athletics
program at Douglas College, went

 

 

looking for a new person to take over
the reins.

“It's easy to find a coach but it is very
difficult to find a good one,” says
Hayes. “A couple of the players from
the Royals had played for Kirstein in
Midgets and they had a lot of good
things to say about him, so he was
hired.”

Kirstein is someone the players
respect and he produces winning
teams,” says Hayes.

Kirstein is optimistic about the
opportunities available to this year's
hockey team members. As a scouting
representative for the Thunderbirds,
he believes the players will have a bet-
ter chance of being noticed for the draft
to major league farm teams or even for
the NHL. His job with the Thunderbirds
will also help players from other teams
because he will be scouting all the
college league teams.

“In college, players are more mature
and are more coachable,” says
Kirstein. “Several players have
finished their college education and
then have gone on to careers in the
NHL.”
