Well,
our last district game was a decent showing by the whole team. Other than a few times we were bottled up in our zone, our guys really seemed to control the play. With nice pass feeds and goals from Omann and two from Moran. We let the Rebels get an earlier goal on us and we came back with three unanswered goals! Nice work guys. Although we won't make the play-offs this year, I know the coaches, parents and all the team mates are very proud of the way you all have improved!!! Let's take the Iron Range this weekend!!!

Fun Day on the Lake
Well,
We got several of the kids out on the ice on Sunday the 7th of February. I wanted to do something a little different. Knowing how much I love fishing ion general it was a not a far reach to suggest ice fishing near St. Johns! While the catching was not as good as it could have been. Although we perforated the ice enough to almost call it Swiss cheese, we really did not find any numbers of fish until later in the afternoon. Some had their first opportunity to see how it was done, others just seemed to like messing around with guys on the team.
One of the reasons I feel so strongly about having the kids do something outside of the game... Mark Messier's 2007 Hockey Hall of Fame induction speech he stated "It's not about becoming a professional athlete, it's about the journey and the people you meet along the way" Personally, I can't agree more. Hopefully we all realize how much these guys are really like a family unit. There are many memories from this season up to this point, so many of them are not even related to hockey. I am proud to have the opportunity to work with all of these guys.

D-10 Gm Vs Centennial
Well, we tried pretty hard, but not enough to beat a decent team like Centennial.. Neu with the nice effort goal, Fritzy facing 26 shots. Early penalties cost us on this one, unfortunately... Loss 4-1. Kind of a tough break for play-off positions with this loss. Still a fairly good game by our PW A's.
