HHT! Bringing my broom with me!

Similar to jr's situation, this morning my squirt B team won 12-0 outshooting the opponent 34-0. 12 minute periods. Those games suck.

Tell your kids that they should just start shooting at the goalie's chest when it gets out of control. If the other team somehow makes the game competitive again, then remove the restrictions and let the kids start scoring.

The "four passes in the offensive zone before shooting" rule as well.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #158: Lodge Member's Habits

Running time in the third.

We had them dump and forecheck, then three passes until a shot on net.

Keep in mind these are 8-11 year old kids I have, and so they aren't all that great at listening and doing these effectively. Things could've been worse, but it sucks at this age to have games like these. It's nearly impossible to prevent bad habits from starting to develop. Not to mention, kids wanna score.

Edit: also mixed up lines and positions.

Yeah, but the goalie clearly sucks, so the score is still going to run up. I was put in goal once during a pee wee year when our normal goalie didn't show. I think we lost 13-2, and I proved that I could actually block more shots in my skating gear than in goalie pads. Or I may have psyched myself out, adding to the level of sucktitude. Since he's coaching a B team, most of those kids should have decent control of their shots. Just have them shoot for the chest instead.

I never really thought of this aspect before.. I mean, we were a tad lackadaisical all game, but we did hot him in the chest quite a few times.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #158: Lodge Member's Habits

I meant the three or four pass thing on top of the shoot at the logo thing. That way you aren't just taking it easy on the netminder, but giving the skaters a chance to interrupt on top of it.

Kids that age are gonna do what they wanna do, though. Tough spot for coaches. Never fun to tell your team to take it easy.

Times Square is pretty empty at 3 am. Need to head to the airport at 4 am.....so might as well stay up all night

JFC it's like a blizzard here checked weather.com and it seems like the only place it's snowing is right on I90. Should be a fun ride home. Ugh. I hate snow.

Sounds like a good old patch of Lake Effect snow. Safe trip!

Going to a tire repair place to get a tire plugged. Guess I managed to find a screw somewhere.

I had a coach who said that no forward was to take a shot until both the D on the ice had scored.
