Week 20 - Breakouts & Cycling
Great weekend! Getting a win against that team required a great team effort. I thought we had a chance to win both games. Those are some of the best games we have played as a team this year. I'd like to carry that momentum into this coming weekend and the next tournament.
We saw some new practice concepts from last week come out in the games this weekend. The 2-1-2 forecheck was working. The team did a solid job of back-checking. The passing is getting quicker and more automatic. Those are the qualities of a team that has a real chance at taking a run at the state championship.
We did work on cycling a bit last week, and that is one thing not quite coming through in the games yet. This week will have some emphasis on cycling mechanics (controlling pucks off walls, quick puck movement). However, we will incorporate continued work on the breakout and really pushing for hard, accurate passing.
Come ready to work hard! With the right effort, we can pick up a couple wins this weekend before heading to San Jose for our last tournament!
