Alpena Thunder Bay Wrecks

• Our Mission
  To add to the quality of life in Alpena by challenging our players, parents, and coaches to be role models in everything they do while they are representing the Thunder Bay Wrecks Hockey Organization.
  
  
• Our Goal
  For all players to take the life lessons learned through competition and hard work to carry with them for the rest of their life.
  
  
• Our Vision
  To be recognized by fans, players and opponents as a premier hockey organization on and off the ice. We want to help promote the city of Alpena as well as the National Marine Sanctuary Program. We want to educate people on what the Marine Sanctuary Program is all about and to represent the city of Alpena with class whenever in competition.
  
  
• Our Values
  • Trust and Respect - By continuously developing trust for each other and all opponents we can build a confident, creative, disciplined team possessing a high degree of initiative.
    
    
  • Integrity, Fairness and Commitment to Excel - We shall act with fairness and integrity in everything we do. We will not accept halfhearted efforts, but rather insist upon personal responsibility, accountability, and a commitment to excel from each of our team members (Parents, Players and Coaches) on and off the ice.
    
    
  • Team Work - There is nothing we can do as individuals that we cannot do better as a team. We are dedicated to a singleness of purpose and insist upon open communication and mutual support in everything that we do. The extent that we work together will ultimately, determine our level of success.
    
    
  • Continuous Improvement – We will never accept the status quo and firmly believe that sustained success will result from our collective ability to continually strive to improve each and every aspect of what we do, and who we are.
    
    
  • Stability and Contribution – We acknowledge our responsibility to the city of Alpena and youth hockey. We will continue to offer an affordable, rewarding and competitive travel program for many years to come.
    

Hockey 101 by Jeff Papin

Defense - When the opposing team has control of the puck; it does not matter which area of the ice.
