Ashar Hockey News
Physical Work Out
Thanks to all parents for responding quickly to the call for Ashar Hockey Program fees. We would like to get all business behind us so we can just concentrate on play.
This week was another good hockey week with the boys. The Sunday 2 hour on ice training, Monday's 90 minute practice and finishing off with Friday's physical practice.
Yes Friday's practice got a little physical. Dave and I began by introducing , and reintroducing the kids to the foam pads along the gym walls. While there is no hitting or checking aloud in the league, floor hockey becomes very physical along the walls when it comes time to pin your opponent up against the "boards". The theme of the practice; "don't let them do what they want". Meaning if you get your opponent up against the wall fighting with the ball, pin them there and don't let them get a pass off to their teammates. Once again we need a lot of work in this area. Dave and I were surprised that even some of the larger returning players had trouble with this aspect of the game.
Standouts from this practice Ilan Teichman. When he "pinned em" nobody got free. Good work Ilan.
The Captain and Alternates made all our line decisions this week for our scrimmages. Not only do the boys show good judgment and management skills, but people skills as well. They have earned the respect of the team by giving respect. Assignments given, assignments taken with no (school boy) bickering at all.
Special mention goes to both Efriam Cooper and Jason Klein. Two players who are really surprising the team and coaching staff these past few weeks with excellent hustle and great play. Way to go boys!
This week EA Sports paid up with NHL 2006 video games given to the boys who won our "most accurate pass contest last week. Daniel Silvermintz's video game review;....... "this game is really good!". Thanks EA.
This Friday with the holidays and no school, it is the perfect opportunity to once again lace up the skates and cut up some Sportorama ice. Only this time Ashar Hockey has rented the ice exclusively for the team. We are planning a team pizza lunch at the rink at 12:30pm followed by a full one hour team ice hockey scrimmage beginning at 2:00pm promptly. Once again full equipment a must and bring your jerseys. Sorry...... Team members only!
