Its been awhile RB, folks have to get back into the habit. I'm posting something about Koudys over "there".

I understand.

The two threads are throwing me off... that's why I voted for one

Any more drama, and we could get a network to relinquish part of its daytime schedule!

Leboeuf is 6'6? WOW! If he puts on a great deal of muscle with that, look out for our defensemen!

I'm not saying the Beef is 6'6", unless Koudys IS 6'4"...the Beef is at least 2 inches taller than PK. Maybe PK is 6'2". They both appear to be equal in skating ability at this point. I watched last week as JFK was working w/Beef on his footwork in the corners while digging out pucks, so, there is a learning process taking place. Of note, Interesting watching the D-pairings in last nights scrimmage; JFK/Koudys.....Bergin/Foss(who appears beefier)...Bailen/Dolan....the Beef/M.Murley. If Dolan is shorter than Bailen, can't tell them apart yet, Dolan is very offensive minded. They worked well together. Obviously too early to say these will be the pairings come game day.

Kevin Beauregard was not practicing with the defense? Maybe Coach hasn't officially told him to practice with the defense, so JFK is asking him to stay with the offense during the special captain's practices. Might as well ask... has Coach begun running practices, or are we still on captain's practices and Coach begins next week?

Matt Murley was there?

Someone can correct me, but I don't think that regular practices can begin until early October.

Praise be to Father Puckman, the prodigal son Matt Murley has come back to guide our young sheep to the promise land. Awesome to hear that some of our former players are still helping out the young guys.

He's only been going to captain's practices for the last 13 years, Ralph.

Murley and Kirk MacDonald are training with the team, yes. And apparently, as turk mentioned yesterday, we might be able to add Brandon Pirri to that list as well.

As to Appert's involvement, he and the coaches are allowed to "skate" the team, but no pucks. Kennedy and his crew break out the pucks after Appert hands off the reins.

Official practices begin October 2nd.

I believe coaches are allowed limited weekly time with limited groups of players (like 3 max)...but I'll stand corrected.

My kind of boys! Now we just have to feed them and put some bulk on them. I love when we have twin towers back there on defense.

Mark Cavosie also skated with the team earlier this month before heading overseas. RB & RC are correct about SA not being involved w/practice. Beauregard has been skating at the forward position at the practices I've seen

Good. Beauregard needs to stay up front. We are too thin there now and his skating just isn't good enough to have him chasing speedy forwards around. I doubt he sees one game on D this year.

Of course now that I said that he'll probably start the 1st game at D.

THink NCAA prohibits the number of practices the coach can hold prior to the first game. Captain usually leads the practices until then.
