Dean,

What you say is true.

I always have to adapt to small numbers and can only do about half of what I would like to do. It is hard to accomplish anything but help the ones who show up to keep their skills sharp and get some conditioning.

But as you say "it is what it is" and I am contracted to do the best I can for one more game.

Just got a text from another player. She has to head north as something has happened with her grand mother. So 9 or 10 skaters today vs a full squad from Edmonton. Lost 0-3 last night with 11 then 10 when one got injured. (beat them twice two weeks ago when they had only two lines. Huge difference in energy available). The girl who went to the hospital last night for xrays thinks she can play today as her ankle isn't broken.

At least there isn't difficult coaching decisions to make about which line is up next.
