The Interview and Game

On Friday the article about the team came out and it was well received. I have been told that the Superintendent of the county school system saw and read the article. The players thought that seeing they were the Game of the Week they would come to the game dressed in a shirt and tie.
   The game started out with my team scoring in the first minute or so of the game. We successfully killed the six penalties we got and we ended up winning so, all in all it was a good week for the team.

The Media

Yesterday after practice my team captain and I had our first newspaper interview. Our game this week was chosen as the Game of the Week by a local online paper. Being the Game of the Week that means we get an article about us the day of the game, coverage of the game and an article about the game as well as a picture or two. This will be the first news article about the team since I became Head Coach. I look forward to seeing the article.

Its disappointing

This week I received an email from our league discussing how to set up security for our games. The rinks now require security (which are off duty police officers) when fans at a game may become rowdy and destructive, The cost for the two security officers is $300 dollars per game. I looked at our schedule and informed our league that I did not think any of our games would need security. At this point the league as agreed with us. It is a shame that rowdy students from one or two schools has caused this to happen. As I talked with other coaches they said that not always is it the students but rather the parents that get carried away.

Its Been A While

It has been a while so let me catch everyone up. The season started out all right but at the holiday break we are 1-4-1. This season we have had our share of bad breaks. One of our defensemen got a concussion and a second defenseman's bad grades kept him off the ice. Our defense is our weak point with the two defensemen we lost.
   To help us deal with our weakness I decided we would play 1-2-2. I will let you know what happens.
