Hi Team,
Little Lennie arrived home after his hockey game, threw open the door and ran to his Dad.
"How was the game, son? How did you do?" asked his father, who was unable to attend the game.
"You aren't going to believe it, Dad!" Lennie exclaimed. "I was responsible for the winning goal!"
"That's wonderful," his dad said. "How did you do that?"
"I missed my check on the other team's high scorer!"
Great effort on Saturday against the Condors! Once again we saw some good passing and great teamwork. The end result, a 4-2 victory, was satisfying, but these first few games are far more about learning and growing as a team. That’s the key to long term success.
The teams that are still standing at the end of this season will be those that are working well together. I’ll keep repeating it, a team is far more than the sum of its individual players. Ball hockey is a game of passing, making plays, and intensity. We’re strong and getting stronger at all three of those.
I know you’re all curious about the captain and assistant votes. Coach Jim has a preliminary tally, but he’s now trying to contact the one or two players that were missing on Saturday, to get their votes. When that process is complete, Coach Jim will post the outcome of your vote. Thank you for participating!
Thank you to those that have posted comments to our blog so far, especially to those whose comments have been constructive and team-oriented. Teamwork doesn’t just happen on the floor. It happens in the dressing room, in your schools, wherever you may meet your team mates, and it also happens in this blog. Regardless of the captain and assistants vote, you can all be leaders. If you have some ideas that can help our team, share them with us. Be a leader!
Several of you have entered your email addresses on the blog, so that new blog entries are emailed to you. For those that haven’t, please refer to the blog handout from Saturday, talk to your parents, and subscribe to the blog.
That’s enough for now. We’re off to a great start!
Coach Steve

3 strait victories, are you joking me? We're already off to a great start guys. It just shows our amount of talent and teamwork. It's going to be a great season. And if we can get these systems down that the coaches are talking about then we'll be more prepared than any other team in the league. Get ready to go next week vs. the vultures, wonder how many Aarons going to get this time.
