Evaluation of Frist Practice

Well, I have had my first practice and here is what it was like. First, the practice was about 90 minutes long which was a perfect length. As the players warmed up I noticed that since the end of last season a number of the players had grown by several inches. This was the first time I had seen the freshmen skate and they all seemed like good skaters. I had the players run through some drills so I could evaluate them then we scrimmaged for about forty minutes. Next practice I will have the team work on checking, forechecking and powerplay set -up.
