This Past Weekend & 5 Days to Troy

It was a nice effort this weekend, both in the game and in the practice. Once again, we play well when we play as a team and when we concentrate on working hard at each battle and each shift. It's about desire.

Keep in mind the things we discussed at practice. Our defense needs to get more involved in moving the puck and setting up plays. It is up to the centers and wingers to get the puck to the defense; but it is up to the defense to handle the puck with confidence. The defense also needs to become more proficient at managing and using spacing -- the gap. We will be working on this again and again during the this weeks practices.

Practice on Monday and Tuesday at 7:15 pm. Please make every effort to attend, be sharp and work hard.

One final reminder: At the Troy Tournament every period matters. Points are awarded for winning games and for each and every period won. Let's get this tournament right this year.
