Post Practice

Another excellent practice tonight.

Come Friday, we need to play our game.

We work hard every shift.
When we have the puck, we move it.
When we don't, we pressure it.
We clear the zone.
And we never back down and we never quit.

The word around the rink is that we are too small and too young to win this tournament. That just makes me laugh. We are a special team that is about to accomplish something very big.

Tournament Schedule is Now Available

The Jimmy Welch Tournament schedule is now posted.

We have a game on Friday at 9:45 am at Berkshire School vs. Schenectady.

Then we have 2 games on Saturday both at Salisbury: a 2:30 game versus the Majors and a 5:30 game vs. Bethlehem.

One of our astute players has already commented that we only have an hour and a half between our two games on Saturday. And that is certainly correct. However, that is more than enough time to rest, regroup and prepare to take on Bethlehem with full force. Also, Mary Hoover (a woman who knows a thing or two about spending too much time at the ice rink) has already begun planning for a between-the-game locker room fruit-a-thon.

Don’t forget: practice Wednesday Night.
