C3 Reijo 1-1 Both Sides – Gap Control
B300 – Tschumi Around the Clock One Touch Passing
E1 Change on the Go with Pass Shootout

In zig zag they had to carry puck only on backhand, face far end, Crosby turn and skate backwards. On Continuous breakout we shot on goal or rimmed so goalie had to handle the puck. 3 F and 2 D. Practice 1-1-2 sweep pk vs the 1-3-1 PP and did the Johnson 10" game vs the overload. In the 3-2 the D join next rush and F have to come back and it becomes a 5-5. 1-1 both side with no stick helps the D maintain body focus. Around clock passing with no noise using wrist and not slap passes. About ever third game we end up in a shootout, so practices it at the end of practice. Play first place Red Deer on Friday night and Okotoks on Sunday.

Lost 0-2 to Red Deer. They are a very good team. We started slow and gave up too many chances, mostly because we didn't receive good passes and they bounced off our stick to them. Second half of the game we played well and got some great scoring chances but either missed net of goalie stopped them . Score reflects the game. They were 2-0 better than us. We need to play the whole game like the last 30' and we can come out on top.
Strange game vs Okotoks. We didn't show up for the first period But Ella scored on a great one timer under crossbar stick side. Got outshot 14-6 and lucky to be tied 1-1. Talked about it between periods. Second we were better and shots were 13-13, still tied 1-1. We scored on a PP, Ella again at start of third. We took over the game, outshooting them 16-6 and scored two more. Game shots recorded by Cam 35-33.
We have played really goo def3nse and got great goaltending only giving up 5 GA in our last 4 games and only below 2 a game in our games in Lethbridge. This gives us a chance in every game. Our motto is give up 2 or less and score 3 or more. When we do this we usually win. Our pp has been scoring and pk only gave up one but taking too many penalties last few games. Bad changes and body checking. We need to fix that.
