Fire White Practices 03-14/20-18

Lots of passing and game situations. Full, one zone and cross ice transition games.

Play a two game total goal playoff this weekend. We host so are in but Red Deer must beat us to go to the Provincial Championships. So it should be intense.

We lost the first game 1-2 and outshot them 27-26 and won the second 4-2 and got outshot 30-31. So won the series 5-4 and eliminated Red Deer who are defending champs. Playoffs are a different animal as we beat them in a tournament and 4 league games earlier in the season. We now have another weekend off before Provincials March 29-April 1.

Things like the Easter weekend don't mean anything in youth sports anymore and we will play vs. the two top teams in Northern Alberta and three teams from the Southern Division. We had a bye but won our way in so the next highest finishing team in our division plays in the Provincial tournament.

It is a ound robin where we play everyone once, so four games, then the top two play for Gold and 3-4 play for Silver.

Should be fun.

We will try to keep up conditioning, review team play, practice all the skills at high speed and hopefully we will be ready. We practice this Thursday, Saturday, next Tuesday and the tournament starts Thursday.
