We'll Keep on Working
It's been a tough start to the year, but not a bad start to the year. I'm pretty happy with the first few games, even though the results have not been ideal. In three short games I've seen some marked improvement in team play - positioning, backchecking, forechecking. We have a team full of very active forwards, which is a good thing. We'll work with them on positioning and tactics as the year progresses and I think we'll see some positive strides there. Our D is a very mobile and aggressive group, which I love! We just have to work with them on learning when to use that mobility and aggression and when to leverage their outlets. As our goalie situation starts to stabilize now I know we'll be able to grab a few W's as the season plays out, but as I said at the beginning, that is not the measuring stick for this year, player development is, and I think I'm seeing some pretty good things. So, we'll ensure everyone continues to work hard and hope for the best! Go Red!!
