As you know
I don’t like to single kids out but a kind of funny thing happened. As we
were loading stuff into the car the email from Shooter came in, Emmett and
Keenan’s skates were taken in for sharpening and they closed early so
were both without skates for playoff game 1. As we do, we improvise and put a
plan in place, Keenen wore his little brothers and Emmett wore my older boys!
Did we see an impact? Only in a positive way, wow! Send Telly in and I wouldn’t
want to be the guy who made that call! And Gregg sin
We said we
can beat any team in this league and we have proven it. We may play these teams
5 teams and we may win 1, this is the game we want!! Herb Brooks said it in
1980 and he proved its all about timing and “the want”,
doesn’t always take the best team, it takes the right team!
In the room
the feeling after the game made time stand still, the moment, the attitude, the
reward, we liked it and we want it again, and it is up to us, no one else. We
have learned how to deal with the reffing, we have
learned to keep our mouths shut (you guys speak on our behalf haha) and we have learned how to score a few goals, we have
adjusted to the elements of this season and I have hopes we are about to see
the results!!
I am very
proud of this team and there is so much more. Watching Team

Good
Morning Sportfans and Welcome to this Weeks edition
of the Hockey News! V40.
Funny had
so many responses from last weeks news, seems it was missing the middle 7
paragraphs haha!! Will try to get back into form this
morning with an inspirational message!
I just love
this team and had so much fun, not only last night but all season long. These
guys not once made a comment on loosing so many games, didn’t hear in the
dressing room before of after a game, and negativity did not take away from the
fun!
We have
coached teams that have won 1 game all year and gone to Minor Hockey day, and
we have coached teams that have gone undefeated and won it all! In both cases
our goals were the same and we walked away with a smile proud of what we had
accomplished. Each of your kids have been playing for
quite some time and I hope that they will take a lesson away from this season.
It really was the season of the bounce, most games we played we really did play
well and although the score didn’t show it I thought we did a lot of
stuff right. We hit a lot of posts and the bounces and calls just didn’t
seem to go our way, we learned to keep our aggression to ourselves and channel
into positive directions. I learned we have a very passionate
parent crew that really do care about this team and their kids!
I have
always known that good kids make good coaches and if you win folks overlook
stuff, when you consistently loose folks look to point the blame, I get it, its
life and its part of sports, in the pro’s folks get fired because the
goal is to win. We work to develop and I am pleased to say not only do I have
no regrets and would not have changed a thing. I have not heard anyone, parents kids or coaches ma
I am proud
of our season and when I walk into the rink I look forward to seeing the
parents, kids and opponents! Its what we do and we
will continue, this crew is a proud bunch and I really believe that we are
playing great hockey and am proud of the machine we have built. I watched Wayne
Gretzky talk about team
Moving
forward! Its at this stage when I say, “we gave
a lot of those teams the season, I want the playoffs baby”. There
isn’t a team out there we can not beat and we will do it one game at a

we have every time we hit the

Hey Gang,
Welcome to this Weeks edition of the Hockey News, v37!
How do you
like us know? What a couple great games, 3 guys in the box and we still fight
back and score shorthanded! Wow what heart! We had 9 skaters last night! After
the game the guys were really down in the dressing room and I said we just tied
the first place team, a month ago we would be celebrating!.
These guys know it, you guys know it and the other coach knows
it, we were quite clearly the team that wanted it more last night and it took
those 10 penalties to keep this game even!
I am not
complaining about our penalties as we did deserve a few and are still learning
and I am fine with that. I am not complaining on how 1 ref called Keenen and
the other ref called Jack and they asked me which one I wanted to be in the
box, I am not complaining that Robert was behind the play and went into the box
for something he had nothing to do with, or the ref would make a call and come
over to the bench to see who deserved it, you get my point…the only thing
that drives us nuts is when the first place team gets away with something and
then a second later they call us. Our guys are passionate and we certainly
care, and this is why we are always fighting so hard, we are tying to get the
most out of each athlete every time and we will continue to, and we will never
give up. You could tell the minute they dropped the puck we wanted that one!
The head
coaches have collectively complained about the reffing
this year, we have 16 penalties in the last 2 games and the other teams have 5
combined, makes me think. I will fight my battles in a board room the right way
with science and will have the kids continue to play with heart.
I know you
folks are upset and I would be interested in hearing your thoughts, I can get
them to the league if you like. I know of 2 families that are planning on
sending a well thought out politically correct letter to the league, and I have
no plans of stopping it, I am the sponsor and paid like everyone else but will
channel my energy into the 13 pairs eyes that look up for leadership, life
lessons, adv
End of the
day, long story short we are playing so well and having so much fun, I could
not be prouder. Folks are approaching me with comments
re what we are accomplishing, its kind of cool hearing. Again we play so
hot against the hot teams and the weaker guys seem to sneak past us. We are
getting better by the week and l think our take-way should be lets get even
better, lets set our goals a tad higher because we know we can reach them, the
journey is as much fun as the destination!

bring tonight if you can or let me know and we can firm up Friday night if that
works! (If tonight please bring in a sealed envelope with your name on it and
the amount of cash written on the envelope).
Re the
weekends games too bad we didn’t get the wins but I think we are a better
team than both and we certainly played better that both those teams, I was
happy with our systems and the way we played! I stick to my statement and never
let the score get in the way, we certainly have come a long way and will
continue to get better, These games are just so much
fun!! Please be proud of all we have done and not bitter or upset because we
are not getting the wins that we deserve, you kids make me proud and I am happy
to part of the fun!

Re Sunday nights game, my comment in the room to those happy faces was

that team wow, they are one of the stronger teams and we certainly kept up with
them and showed what we could do, from scoring on a penalty kill to winning the
battles in the corners and creating scoring opportunities, to a penalty shot,
and to be curfewed with 2 minutes remaining, I bet
they were glad to get out of it with a tie haha!
Another couple mins and I think we would have come
out on top, I also saw your team defending their goalie with passion, and a

What a
great weekend, lights up, tree in and perhaps a gift or 2 under it!
What a team
we have here folks, I liked last nights game more over Saturdays to be honest,
we seem to play better against the better teams, we were really pumped up for
Saturdays game. A bounce either way and it would have
been a different score for sure! Great effort all around.
We are
moving some kids around, and adhering to their requests, we moved Superman up
for a game and Swinger back, yesterday we moved Keener into a D spot which we
thought worked out great. We will continue to adjust and see what works, we always talk with the kids. I never want to set
anyone up without the tools and in a position to fail, if it doesn’t work
we will adjust, if it works and the dude hates it we will adjust, all about
balance but fun has to the first thing! We chat with the kids to make sure so I
have hopes all are enjoying the season so far!!
It sure is
tuff to work the room when we are loosing but man these kids are the best, we
always find something positive to pull out and push out front.

kids in the room a recalled a story I heard of a dad wor

I
enjoyed the game, the kids are amazing, gotta hand it
to them they certainly have learned how to stay cool and battle game after
game. We were flying and kept up with those guys for some time. Remember last
time we played them they scored 9 goals on us! I was really happy with the game
and walked away from the rink with a smile, we hammered them with 25 shots on
net!! Cant ask for much more than that, they hammered us with 27 and we seemed
to struggle in a couple areas that we don’t normally have problems,
noted and will spent some on it last night. Loved the passing and the breakout
worked quite well. N

In last
nights game another interesting play. We were short handed and received another
penalty, refs arm went up signaling we were getting the call for a delayed
penalty, play is blown down when we posess the puck,
they put the puck in the net prior to us getting the puck, interesting, if no
one is in the box the delayed penalty is cancelled, but as we had a man in the
box he comes out and the delayed penalty sticks for 2 minutes or less. If we
had 2 men in the box the player with the least amount of time remaining comes
out. Think of it as we are the bad guys and the worst situation for us is the
one that the rule is in favor, again the right call was made by the ref (I hate
when that happens)! I always look it up after and explain it to the kids so we
learn from next time). In my history this is the first time I have seen either
of these call, kind of cool I learned something this weekend!
We received
a delay of game penalty on Adam freezing the puck, I teach and promote puck
possession and stand behind Adams decision of holding onto the puck if he
believes giving it up could promote a shot on net, Doug (our ref last nigh and
the Referee in Chief) and I disagreed on this, it’s a judgment call and I
made it clear that I thought Adam made the right play, as I said in the
dressing room 99 out of 100 refs wouldn’t call a penalty on that play, I
have seen it so many times yield a shot and even a goal, good cho

gave away played as well so they had 17 kids on the bench, our dudes played
with 11 skaters and put up such a great fight, I guess no one is worried about
their dudes getting enough
Last nights
game was feisty, we played the first place team and I saw what we could do when
we wanted to, we were up for this one, a bounce either way
and we could have taken it, I will park that up there, trust me I am
starting to learn what this team can do. We played most of the game short
handed ( I think the kids just wanted a rest haha) and often we played 2 men short, I said to the kids
we play like that against another team and we can expect to come away with a
win! Carlo big kudos to the kid in the pipes, Adam is playing with so much
confidence and kept us in this one!!
I am loving the development and style. Couple things to work
on and we have a couple events coming up to do so, more on that in a bit. Re
the penalties was so great to come out to the MoB of
parents last night who quite clearly let me know how they felt, wow, passion is
amazing and I am so happy you care, I always say the aggression in us is what
drives us to penalties or greatness, my job is to direct it into something positive,
the kids wanted that win so they pushed themselves, I am cool with that, lots
of folks thought we didn’t deserve all those penalties, that’s cool
I will take note and monitor, we have a bit of a history this year so lets earn
our stripes and stay out of the box, I am not launching a complaint as a few
advised, been doing this so long if I did every time something came up I would
pickup an undesirable reputation, when I do speak out folks will listen!
I will say
Saturday no penalties and Sunday a couple hundred, sure makes me think, I will
not scream at a ref but I will adjust to use a situation and to try to take
advantage of it, don’t think we did a great job adjusting last night but
fair or unfair the ref is the gatekeeper so we need to play by the rules and
maximize the fun factor! Thanks for your thoughts and comments, I know you are
digging this action as I am, I loved the hockey this
weekend! (And I do think we deserved some of those penalties last night as did
the other team!).
A quick
reminder about the water bottles a couple dudes arrived without for the game
yesterday, I will have the bottle carrier but will not be supplying, if we need
to fill at the game no worries but please give them a wash prior to each
session. See my last note on the web in the hockey news section. I copied the
league when I sent that out, about an hour later we all received a message
saying it was mandatory! One step ahead baby!

Kitchen is December 19 and I need the entire crew please to share in the fun!
Remember I
told you we would get worse before we get better, I am cool with this and I am
extremely happy with the attitudes on the bench and the way these guys are
playing, be proud folks! I walked out of that rink feeling so proud of the way
we played and what we accomplished this weekend, that’s what I am about,

Hey Gang,
lots of press on the H1N1 and I am in need of adjusting my methods as a
precaution. Your trainer Macguyver and I have discussed and agree on this
approach..
All players
are to supply their own water bottles going forward. Please have a name and
number clearly on the bottle. In past years I had purchased team bottles and
after each game I rinsed and cleaned, then filled prior to the next game.
The news
this past week is an awakening and I am thin
I will
bring a bottle for Robert and me and I will bring my
bottle carrier to get all the bottles to the bench and the dressing room. Each
dude needs a bottle on the bench for pract
I had hoped
to assist as often the dudes forget and need to remain hydrated. I think the greater
of the 2 evils is the spread of this virus so lets work together to avoid any
unnecessary risks.
I will
monitory who is without and contact you with a
friendly reminder, (action item for Macguyver), as well obviously bottles are
not to be shared by anyone.
Sorry gang
but I do think the ownership should be on the parents and I certainly do not
wish to participate in anything that could take the fun away!
Thanks and
please share any thoughts or concerns.

Its that time of year and the league looks at the teams and
tries to balance them out. They have asked me how we are doing. In my entire history
I have never sent a player to receive a stronger player and I don’t plan
on starting it now, I work with what we have, I like to get to know each family
and we have some fun, only exception is of course if you are not happy with
this team I can cut a deal, but I wont be driving it. I have asked for another
pair of lungs as we are running pretty lean so will see. I love the fabric of
this team and don’t wish to stir it up. That said whatever the league
says goes so stay tuned, if you are not happy please tell me and I will see
what I can do. (I would be surprised as I have been quite open on hearing from
you folks and its been pretty quiet).
We
have lost 2 of our A players so we are a bit out gunned out there sometime, I
am ok with that as long as we can keep the moral up, and I will continue to
work that angle. Jake and I have had several meetings and he has decided to
take a bit of a break from hockey, I welcome his return should he decide to, in
my books he is a great kid and is still member of the MiB, I support his return
at a later date. I have asked Cheers to take on

Great
weekend and a Happy Thanksgiving to you folks!
Funny how
we are all over the spectrum this weekend, we played a couple of great games
and I am really happy with these guys, we have heart and I am starting to see
some great things. We called out a couple challenges and have acted on them,
yes we still need to park them and pull them down as reminders and we will
continue. Saturday the passing was there and we got the puck out of our end
pretty well. I thought Sundays game showed we had
heart, man we got beat up right out of the gate and we never gave up, right
down to the last buzzer your guys fought with their heads up. We were pounded
with over 30 shots and Adam did such a great job for us!
In the
dressing room we chatted about some things we learned from this game and will
take forward, the message was the ref is the gatekeeper and makes the rules,
right or wrong we must learn to deal with all situations the right way, Until
we have our captains set up, the coaches are the only ones to talk to the refs.
At all levels in every sport the refs have the ability to take away the fun,

Welcome to this weeks (and the first) version of the MiB Hockey News! V1.0
It was great chatting with you folks and your kids this past
week. This is one part of the season I most enjoy, the first impressions and
introductions. I hope I didn’t scare you away!, I literally need three
nights to get through the list as each call is usually quite lengthy by the
time I have covered all on my agenda! And I just touched on the stuff we

I will tell you with us there is always a plan and no
surprises. We are huge on communication, you will receive at least 1 version of
the hockey news per week, we will publish everything that’s been handed
out and all info etc will be on the web. I am a fan of technology so like to
use the cool resources. Mostly the web and email but I am
on facebook and will monitor anything the kids do
regarding the team.

course what’s cooler that being black, I am huge on attitude and
intensity and thought the Men in Black would be a good handle, sure we could be
the Penguins like every other black team but I like to do things a bit
differently so hope you are cool with that, the kids I have mentioned it to
seemed to think it was kind of cool.
I will be hosting our first get together this Thursday at my
digs.
Here is a brief intro to your inf
Mark (Cooter) Thorne, a level 1
coach who I worked with last 3 years and was fortunate to bring onboard again
this year. Mark,
a rep player in his younger years is a very strong hockey guy focusing on the
fundamentals and mechanics; Cooter brings technical strength, a very disciplined approach and will be primarily focusing on
our defensive crew.
Todd (Macguyver) Goddard will be providing the first aid,
Mark also a rep player in days gone by was also with us for several years
although we promoted him to trainer and assistant coach from parent as we
recognized some positivity that could benefit the team. MacGyver’s role
will be to make sure that all gear is in acceptable condition, the environment
is safe, and that an action plan is in place should we run into injuries.
Macguyver is the only coach permitted on
Eric (Shooter) Law also together for several years, Shooter
well known by most for great work in the past as head coach with this age
group. I called him out of retirement last year to assist with this crew, Shooter
also a head coach of a Peewee team is a great pal with great hockey smarts.
Shooter will be wor

Sue Goddard aka Cheers is our parent rep and social
convener, what can I say Cheers will be in charge of getting the fans in the
stands on their feet and leading our cheering section again this year, you had

hockey! We are in this together for 6 months, I chose to take control, push
this thing and have some fun, please join in on the ride, your attitude towards
this program will certainly flow into your son and this team,
fun catches on, tell your friends!!
If you are a little kid inside just waiting to bust out,,if you enjoy seeing your son
having fun and getting better, if you like to push the boundaries and let it
out on the weekend then this is the team for you. We will work hard at getting
your son to deliver and play like he never thought he could

I will close this off for now in saying I like to talk, we
are the most approachable guys in the world, there is nothing more I like to
talk about than your sons progress and experience on this team, if you love the
program tell your friends, if not so happy tell me!. Go out and find someone
that has been with us over the last 3 years (that isn’t currently playing
rep) and ask them about the experience.
I find something that works and stick with it, may look
pretty primitive at times but give us a chance to earn your sons
respect…and yours!!
