Thanks Tom,
I donated to your cause today.....tried to earlier in the week, but then had some issues with my paypal account that I hadn't used for years, and then had to go on the road with the team. I finally figured out I could just donate without signing in when I got back.
I'm sorry to hear you won't be posting to the site any more. I'm sure it takes a lot of time to put everything on-line, and it really sounds like you are discouraged at this point. I can assure you I've appreciated everything you've put up here.
Thanks again for sharing your expertise.

Dman, I am still going to post the daily drill but not in pdf form. I will post the text and the diagram like I did before the last two weeks when I also posted them in pdf form.
I am at about 75 drills and when I get to 100 it will be the end of February and most of the coaches will be done or just ending their season. At that time I am going to put all of the 100 postings in pdf form and send the pdf drills booklet to everyone who has donated or bought a book.
It is good for me as well because most of the postings are my favorite drills and games or things I have just thought of and doing a daily post motivates me to draw the diagrams or add text to existing ones.
The main point is that it costs money to rent servers and for the site name. The second thing is that by me going to the youth conference I can pick up great things they are doing in Europe and share them. Most coaches who come here coach youth hockey. I can always learn and I am sure the coaches who frequent this site can as well and new ideas are good.
