Nutrition Tip: Watch the sugar. Often people think by drinking fruit juices or eating low-fat

fruit roll-ups and such, they are cutting out or eliminating sugar. The fact is that some fruit

juices have more sugar than a soda. Reduction of sugar is important to good health;

therefore always check out the sugar content of anything you put in your mouth, even if it

appears to be healthy.

Wellness Tip: Laughter is the best medicine

No kidding. Laughing out loud relaxes your body, boosts your immune system,

releases endorphins, and protects your heart. The good feeling you get when

you laugh stays with you after the joke is over. Science has proven many

physical and mental benefits, so laugh often!

Fitness Tip: Kill your excuse.

If you think you're too busy to exercise, try this experiment: For one day, schedule

a time to work out, and then stick to it—even if you can exercise for only 10

minutes. At the end of the day, ask yourself if you were any less productive than

usual. The answer will probably be no—and your favorite excuse will be gone.

Come and play hockey.

Sicamous Minor Hockey is a small association with a proven and successful

track record. Player development, education, and having fun are the main goals

of the association. The players benefit by receiving loads of ice time at very

reasonable costs. Every team practices twice during the week and two games

are generally scheduled each weekend throughout the winter.

Sicamous and District Minor Hockey Association has produced some exceptional

hockey players that have gone on to the KIJL, WHL, BCHL, NCAA and the NHL.

Including Shea Weber and Cody Franson most recently.

MINOR HOCKEY TOURNAMENTS


Youth Fitness Tip: Drink Fluids. Children should drink a glass of water about 15 minutes

before they start exercising. If they're exercising in a warm environment, they should

drink a large, lukewarm glass of water every 20 minutes during the activity. Lack of water

can cause dehydration. Possible signs of dehydration include nausea and lethargy. If you

ignore these signs, the body may go into heat exhaustion or heatstroke.

MINOR HOCKEY TOURNAMENTS

Youth Fitness Tip: Warm Up. Warming up prepares the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints,

and the heart for the exercise that will follow. Children can generally warm up more quickly than

adults, simply by running in place and breathing deeply for a few minutes. They should then

slowly and gently rehearse the motions of the exercise for a few minutes, gradually building up

speed, force, and intensity.

The Sicamous Eagles Junior Hockey Club takes great pride in offering an elite junior experience that

allows our players to develop into leading, character hockey players on the ice as well as proud com-

munity-minded citizens off the ice. They are recruited by the very best Canadian junior hockey leagues

including the BCHL, AJHL and the Western Hockey League. Quite simply, it's our team and it's our

tradition!

The cost of organized sports can be a barrier to participation and limit the choices

for some families. KidSport™ works to fulfill its mission of eliminating the financial

barriers to sport participation, “So All Kids Can Play!” Kids have the opportunity to

reach their highest potential when they have access to physical activity, which can

positively impact physical health, development of social skills, self-esteem, and

friendships. KidSport™ is a community-based sport funding program that provides

grants for children under the age of 18 to participate in a sport season of their

choice.

Winter Fitness Tip: Try a new class. Winter is the perfect opportunity to try out a new class

and a new way to work out your body. Group fitness or small group personal training also

helps motivate you to show up for the camaraderie, the fun, and the benefits that

accompany working out with a pro. Plus, you may meet some workout buddies to help you

greet the spring thaw.


SICAMOUS CURLING CLUB

Why should you curl?

You can play at any age.

Both sexes can play (curling with your

significant other can be a lot of fun!).

The rules are easy to learn.

You don’t have to pay a lot to play.

Curling is good for your health.

Its fun!!!! (most important).

Fitness Tip: Keep on keeping on

Anyone over 65 needs to exercise just as

much as their younger counterparts. The

key is that seniors can have a less-extreme

workout regimen. Strength and aerobic

training work well together. Before you

start, be sure to consult with your doctor

and develop a fitness plan that is right for

you. And when you do begin, start slowly

and progressively ramp up your routine.

Big Mountains! Big snow!

Sicamous and the Eagle Valley hosts some of the greatest

alpine snowmobiling in Western Canada with deep powder,

steep terrain, powder filled bowls, endless meadows and

spectacular views of Mara and Shuswap Lakes.

Sledders venturing to the Sicamous area will enjoy quick and

easy access to four outstanding mountains that offer a large

assortment of sledding terrain. The trail heads that lead to

the sledding areas of Owlhead and Queest are conveniently

located within the community, while Blue Lake and Eagle

Pass trail heads are within 20 minutes from Sicamous. These

four snowmobiling areas are accessed by forest service

roads that are carefully groomed, well-marked and mapped

out in the Sled Sicamous Snowmobile trail map brochure.

The trails to riding areas are approximately 25kms and are

groomed on a regular schedule. After the cabins, the

snowmobiling areas are uncontrolled and unmarked. The

groomed trails and snow filled mountain meadows at Blue Lake,

Owlhead and Queest areas will cater to both families and the

novice sledders. For the more experienced riders, all four of

these mountains offer an unlimited variety of challenging,

technical and extreme riding with steep terrain, intermediate

chutes and deep powder. The sledsicamous.com website

explains more about the variety of snowmobiling at each area

and offers tips for deciding on the area best suited to your

sledding skills.


Trail user fees are kept to a minimal $20.00 fee and help to fund much

of the operational costs associated with managing the four snowmobile

areas including the superb grooming program that Sicamous is known

for. Three of the snowmobiling areas offer cozy cabins to warm up in,

enjoy your lunch and share sledding stories with other riders. All three

cabins are maintained by the dedicated volunteers of the Eagle Valley

Snowmobile Club. This year a huge amount of work was completed at

the Blue Lake, Owlhead and Queest cabins including roof maintenance,

exterior cabin upkeep, stocking of firewood and general tidy up. Plans

are in the works to build a cabin at the Eagle Pass area in the summer

of 2013.

Parking lot upgrades were also completed this fall at Eagle Pass and

Owlhead staging areas. These parking lot upgrades include bigger

turn-around areas with more vehicle and large trailer parking space

which will make your day of sledding just that much more enjoyable.

The lakeside community of Sicamous is well known for the friendly and

outstanding full service that is extended to snowmobilers. There are top

notch sled rentals, a great variety of excellent food establishments, cozy

and comfortable accommodations that are sled friendly, some with

drying rooms and indoor or outdoor hot tubs. Another important and

very valuable service snowmobilers will notice is the close proximity to

all four sled manufacture dealerships in the area, with the farthest dealer

being only 20 minutes away from Sicamous. Also, if you require some

specialized parts or service there are businesses right in town that will

be happy to help you out. What a huge benefit for those ‘mechanically

challenged days’.

To sum it all up, the four fantastic sledding areas, quaint community

atmosphere and truly friendly people in Sicamous are something you

have to experience to truly understand why Sicamous is fast becoming

one of the most popular places to play and stay in the wintertime.

For more information on Sicamous and the great sledding

opportunities in this area please visit.

Wellness Tip: Relax your mind

Meditation is a great means of decreasing stress. Close you eyes, lie

your head back in your office chair, or go and find a quiet, secluded

place to sit. Focus on all the positive aspects of your life and relax

your mind away from the stress of the day. Meditation can be a

quick fix for simple troubles that create stress buildup.

Wellness Tip: Renewing

and Revitalizing

To maintain a mentally

and physically healthy

lifestyle, everyone needs

to relax and recharge

from time to time. But

how you do that de-

pends entirely on what

*you* find relaxing. Take

a hike in the mountains,

a soak in the tub, play

some hockey or a trip to

the massage therapist -

how you unwind is up to

you!
