How I run my team

There are some coaches who believe you play your best players most of the time and give the weaker players just a few shifts.
I play all my players evenly because I believe the only way for a team to improve is to have all the players get game experience. If you do not play your freshmen they will become sophomores and still not have improved.
I do shorten my bench for the last two minutes of a game. Not all my players play on the powerplay or the penalty.
I am interested in what other coaches think.

Lets get Started

My first season as head coach has ended with a loss in the first round of the playoffs. The team record was 6-5. Now I have to look to next year and how to improve.
