The players did the Tsunami very well. I had to change the instruction to one end because one of the players had her wisdon teeth out and missed and another got sick and had to leave. I had coaches play during the scrimmage so we could have two lines. The players said it is very hard to get out of the zone against such a hard forecheck.
I cut down to 17 skaters and 2 goales at the end of practice. First practice with the official team tonight. I have to plan it later as my appointment at the bank is in 35 minutes.
