3rd Session - First Practice

Thanks for those that showed up for the 1st practice of the 3rd session.

Wow! Have we increased the talent on the roster and sub-list. It looks like our two full time roster members, Brett and Michael, will be a big help to the team.

Overall I was very pleased with the turnout for the practice. Next week look for us to spend quite a bit of time working on the break-out as well as puck possession in the offensive zone.

As a team I do think we can "skate" with just about any team on the ice. The one thing that did seem to stand out is we are a really bad team when it comes to making passes and catching passes!

I'd really encourage everyone, myself included to get a stick in your hand and really work on the eye hand coordination! You can get a tennis ball and just push it around your garage floor or back patio. Practice hitting it against a wall and catching the rebound. I'd really like to see if we can get better at catching and receiving passes.

I know I will be attending some Stick and Pucks as well as drop-ins to work on this myself!

Don't forget next practice is Saturday night at 9:45pm.

I need everyone to let me know if they will be attending the first game. I'd like to try and have lines made for practice so we can all start to get to know our new line mates!
