Midget 5 Breaks Out!

At the midget level, all the parents have seen enough coaches, enough players and enough games to know a puck hog and a bad plan when they see one. We as a group grumble in the stands when we see the D men try to skate coast to coast with the puck, freezing their offense at the blue line in the process. We endure one hurried shot somewhere in the direction of the goal,  blind centering passes with no consideration of their open points; puck hogs all.

Finally in a home game, our boys started playing together here and there. After a long loosing streak they manage to win a game 4-1! Nobody knows why. The day before the game the team had a mis-cued practice where many players missed and after ten minutes the coaches skipped; still they played the most team hockey we parents had see all season.

Notes:

• As this writing team is 2-4-3
