Systems Question, SWO Website, Reminder

Hi Team,
I’ve heard that some of you have had some difficulties posting comments. Braden brought this to my attention. When your comment is posted successfully, you will see a message on the screen that says your comment has been submitted, or something like that. If you don’t see that message, please post your comment again.

Perhaps due to the above issue, we haven’t seen an answer to the question posed in the last entry. What is missing from the four-deep system??? It has to do with how we clear the ball. Please have a look and submit an answer.

And a reminder, please have learn the systems that your coaches have assembled for you. These systems will work! They do work! Great hockey teams don’t leave things to chance. Great hockey teams eliminate chance by controlling the game, the situation, etc. They do so by using repeatable, effective systems.

Have any of you visited the SWO website? Or have you visited our team page on the SWO site? The links are all available on the right side of the blog, down a screen or two.

The SWO site has lots of great information on standings, scoring leaders, goaltending stats, etc. We use this to learn about our upcoming competition (I’ll type more about that soon), and to keep an eye on our various stats in relation to other teams.

Also, before I close off, here’s a reminder….

Heart and Confidence
7) We take responsibility for our actions. We are in control. We are responsible. We as a team determine our fate.
8) We realize that confidence and heart lead to success, not the other way around.
9) We realize that when we look good, and we feel good, we play good.
10) We alone control whether we win or lose. We win as a team and we lose as a team. We do not blame anyone else. Very specifically, we do not blame the refs.

Are you all living by our Hawks Hockey Nation Excellence Creed? Part of being a great hockey team is simply believing in ourselves, believing that we ARE a great hockey team. And part of believing we are a great hockey team, is living like a great hockey team, always!

We have a lot of opportunity ahead of us! Let’s take advantage! Let’s win this thing!

Coach Steve
