Activity versus Results

Go Hawks!

Okay gentlemen, we’re right back into the SWO playoffs tonight. The playoffs start with a four-game round robin, during which we face the Owls, Harriers, Falcons and then Vultures.

We knocked off the Owls two weeks ago. This weekend we take care of the Harriers and Falcons.

So far we’re 1-0-0.

We’ll play the Harriers like we have many other teams. Just in case they’re listening in on this blog, we’ll discuss our strategies pre-game, in the dressing room.

We’ll need full effort from each and every one of you! And I’m sure you Hawks will deliver!

Remember to get there at least one hour pre-game, by 8:00pm. We get to break the camera tonight.

Personally I think the photos might be better post-game, when you guys are all sweaty, red-faced and out of breath. But for some reason we’re doing them pre-game. Such is life.

Here’s another truth in life gentlemen:
“Never confuse activity with results.” -Lou Gerstner, former CEO, IBM

There is no trying Hawks. There’s only doing, or not doing! This weekend, let’s DO!

  1. Great game yesterday boys! Only a few peices of advice: If there's a guy infront move him cuz when i did the ref got mad at me so i need u to do that. Again if there's a guy infront, and he keeps taking rebound shots, dont go for the ball just tie him up. And last thing, shoot, shoot ALOT,when you shoot u get rebounds and when u get rebounds u get goals, especially when you have a big guy infront(burger) screening the goalie, tipping shots, and slapping in those rebounds. Cmon coach put him on wing on Aarons line.

  2. Thanks Brado. I will look at things, as will Jim and our other coaches, and we'll see if there's advantage in making some changes. But, any major changes are VERY unlikely. Our current line-up is working very well. And we're in the midst of a strong play off run. So, we'll see. There won't be changes today, but we'll see.

  4. Ha Ha Ha Braden! how bout we make a line with you and Burger and I and we'll put my mom in net!!! ha ha my mom ini net would be amusing! although i'd like burger on my line and it would be fun and quite a line but i think big changes would be bad as Coach said small changes maybe but the only way i think Burger could be on my line isif someone like Jordan went to defense as he is quite a strong defender. But that is unlikely anyway. oh well we'll see how it goes, something can always happen! but well ya as long as we keep going hard and playing well together we shouldn't have to make many changes. Keep going hard and we'll win without any changes!

    Later Boys,
