8-1 Win Over the Wolves.

Oddly, the Wolves showed up with a better team this game, albeit with a newbie goalie. The Vikings also showed up with a better team... we just simply over-powered these guys as everyone got in on the scoring. They did bring out at least one new player with some talent, but he was only good enough to score one goal late in the game. I hope these teams get better as it seems we are down here for awhile longer.

Really strong game though kids, as we really didn't give them any breathing room and we played strong ALL 3 periods.

6-1 Win over the Angry Pirates

Great game today as we powered back from 2 previous games without a win. Even as they held a 1-0 lead it was clear we were going to take this team, as they seemed just a notch above beginner and could not develop quality scoring chances. You guys worked hard in deep, had very strong play on the wings, and as well - a smothering defense.

I hope we get a good turn-out for the practice session as I feel it will be valuable and a lot of fun for two hours, then some quality beer time. I am sure we can use this opportunity to work on our passing, positioning, and special teams. Sean is a really good teacher and you guys will def get your money's worth.

We have always talked about a "practice" and this our chance. Besides that, it should be a fun night that includes scrimmage, two goalies, a great teacher, and a beer or two afterwards.

Subject: Organized Practice and Pickup - Can you provide input today?

Hey Beavs and Vikings,

Marty and I are sending this email out to determine the amount of interest that there will be in participating in an organized practice and how much you would be willing to pay.

We can set up a 1.5 “official” practice with Sean from Sparkles hockey. Sean is a qualified hockey instructor who has been running hockey clinics for years. He has graciously agreed to organize a practice (drills ect) for us to help us with our positioning and to get us working on setting up systems. We want to book the ice for 2 hours – have a 1.5 hour practice and then 30 min of pick-up.

This would be good for the Beavers as we’re a new team and need to work on creating systems (break-out plays ect). The Vikings – well you guys did tie the Dragons and lose to the Stars …so you guys need help. Kidding kidding. I miss you guys ;o) Marty and I thought that it would be good to do the practice with both teams.

Here’s what we need from you (today if possible as we have ice waiting to be booked):

  1. Would you be willing to pay $30 (this would be for the practice and 2 hours of ice time) – this assumes we get 20 players
  2. Does Friday October 24th from 7:15pm to 9:15pm work for you (the arena is at Avenue and St.Clair)

Your input is appreciated – we will book the ice tonight if we get enough confirmations. Sean has already confirmed this date – we just need to ensure we have enough commitment.

Thanks guys,
Sarah

4-1 Loss to the Stars

Well this division isn't going to be the "stroll in the park" we were thinking after our first two games. We really didn't help our cause too much, as I think we can all agree we can play better. Surprisingly, the Stars deserved the win as they did all their goals even if they were all fluky.

Our "team" game was off today even though we played them stride for stride. They worked hard and we got to give them that, but we will beat this team more often than not, on any game day. Let's pick it up and get back on track next week with a full turnout, improved break-outs, and getting a player to the front of their net.

Looks like we are in the right division after all.
