KANATA – League convenor Al Sauvé tells us why the SLHL isn't like most other leagues in town.
-- For those of you who have had the experience of playing hockey in some of these so called recreational leagues in the Ottawa area, many of you have also most likely experienced firsthand the violence inherent in some of them. As a professional, a husband and a father of three young children, I grew tired of the violence and was no longer willing to take unnecessary risks despite my passion for the sport.
I’ve since started my own recreational league – a league that promotes true sportsmanship, and with the necessary leadership to ensure that the league remains as safe and enjoyable as possible. That’s what makes us different! As we will always respond swiftly and harshly against offending players, the rest of us can simply focus on having a great time.
Al.
