Well here it is, 3 weeks into school and we have started captains practices and off ice lifts, agility's and runs. So far our team looks pretty good, all the freshman and returners came to school in pretty good shape so it's nice to see were right where we need to be.
Our first captains skate it was obvious a lot of us were rusty and we were trying to get our legs back under us as well as our stick skills. I was impressed with a lot of the guys. We have a hand full of returners about 10 recruits and at least 12 walk-ons. The competition level has been pretty solid so far. I don't wanna jinx the team to early but I am excited to see that we have the guys to have a solid season. I think the biggest part of having a good team isn't just solid players and the potential we have as a whole but how the team jells. We need to have good chemistry and trust each other before the season begins. We have a mid-night madness skate on October 1st where we have a red and white scrimmage and cuts begin after that, we expect a decent showing from town people and students as well.
The training has been tough every Thursday we run 6 20's 6 40's 6 80's and 4 110 yard sprints. It's a great day for us because it builds character. Our week involved 3 off ice lifts/sprints and two captains practices.
So far things are going well, the team looks good, the lifts have been hard, and coach seems pleased, I'm excited to see what the future brings. For now I have a cold and need to sleep.
