His ass is nailed to the bench next game I can't add any more reactions today. Apparently y'all be funny. And I like your coaching strategy.

Lucky Pucker Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Another tournament win - and the final was a shootout thriller that was decided in the 4th round (my son went first for us, and deked that poor goalie out of his jockstrap). I seem to be much better at coaching than at playing goalie (not that I have to be a good coach for that statement to hold true). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great tournament, save for one team that exuded arrogance, and assumed they would run the table all weekend. One of their kids even said to one of my players in the week before the tournament “we’re going to win, but maybe you’ll get silver…” Shockingly, nobody liked them. These coaches set up 4 (yup; FOUR) different cameras for every game, gave the organizers (all volunteers) a hard time over scheduling etc, complained about the officials… all at U13 House League level. We had execs from other clubs saying “I really hope you beat those guys!” And we did beat them - TWICE, in fact, on our way to the final. Gotta say, the 5-0 win in round robin against them was sweeter than winning the shootout in the gold medal final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We even asked around with parents of Dubs and Trips - none of them are doing FOUR cameras. I mean, how do they even have the time to go through all that footage?? I’ll tell ya though, if the GoPro they stuck next to our bench had audio, they heard some choice observations… lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I barely have time to skim through my LiveBarn footage. I couldn't imagine even toying with the idea to do that for house league. Does the coach have all the kids sit and watch game footage for strategies? How effective is any of this really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno man… we haven’t exactly socialized with them. In fact, one of those ass clowns pushed past FIVE of my staff at our bench during the pre-game warm up without saying a word, to go stick his GoPro up, then back past all of us again. Not a “good luck” or “good game” or “hey!” Or “I’d just like to put this camera up here, it helps with our players’ development “ The consensus with my bench was “fuck ‘em and their cameras” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shout out to my captain who put it together. I'm fairly certain this is the Axis XF set I'll be getting in a couple months. Jerseys are done by Men's League Sweaters.... but their 60G seems a little smaller than my 58G Adidas practice jersey - I have a little trouble getting the MLS jersey on.

(Winter season is September to April, summer season is May to August). Sounds about right. Usually Summer is done by first week of August at the latest, leaving a terrible 3-4 week gap where I have to fill my time with activities other than hockey. Gross.

I actually have a year round shinny that goes something crazy like 48 or 49 weeks of the year, so pretty much I rarely have any weeks without hockey. August in Vancouver without hockey sounds sweltering. You should start a beach hockey club at English Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I try and pick up as much drop in's as I can during the period, but it's pretty sparse all around. Not exactly prime hockey season. Quote August in Vancouver without hockey sounds sweltering.
