Reply To: Daily Drill Section Fourteen

I am watching the Leafs/Canucks game as I prepare this posting. It makes me think back to my last game coaching with Willy Desjardins at the U of Calgary. It was the 93-94 Canada West final versus the U of Lethbridge coached by Mike Babcock. The game went into double overtime and we lost. I was so frustrated that I threw my silver medal into the garbage can. (I wish I had it now.) U of Lethbridge won the CIS Nationals and it recharged Babcocks coaching career as he moved to Spokane in the WHL and on from there. Willy took a two year leave to coach in Japan. He requested Terry Johnson and I stay as assistant coaches until he returned. He never came back as he won the Japanese title his second season there and they gave him such a big contract he couldn't leave and spent about 6 years there. I organized a tour to Scandanavia the summer of 93 and it resulted in us having a great recruiting year and that is how we got to the finals. Tim Bothwell came as interim coach and inherited this talented group and we won Canada West the next two years but didn't win at the Nationals in Toronto. (96 is the last year U of Calgary won Canada West. I was an asstistant with the 90-95-96 Canada West Champs.)
