Dunny Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 It's to much of a pain in the ass to become certified here. My certification lapsed and I have to take a weekend course on why diddling little boys is wrong. It's beyond retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunny Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 See, it would be cool to do levels like that. But it's a serious commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's a serious commitment.[/quote'] I present the level 1, 2, and 3 along with a few other people Typically 20 or so coaches in each class. 4-5 of us split it up. Dallas coaches UAF NCAA, usually him and his assistants come in for a hour And Profitt who is GM in NAHL comes on with his coaches Between that we have myself and the guy who presents goaltending Actually decent stuff and weekend flies by I've taken level 4 outside, but not qualified to present. Usually done by the USA hockey gurus and 4-6 NHL coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 The USA modular is a joke. Last year our 2 coaches took it online when we were at Silver Stick. I answered most of the questions while one of them went out to get us food. If you get one wrong, you can go back and answer it correctly. The only fucked up thing is that you can't fast forward the videos. You have to watch all of them. I think it's 3 or 4 hours worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Why would it be considered a joke? Because anyone can do it. There's no studying, failing, retaking, etc .. You watch, you click, you're done. That doesn't insult you a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in regards to your practice/game ratio, maybe your coaches should be taking those ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Head Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Our practice to game ratio is similar to yours. The tournament games is what throws the ratio out of proportion. Ours is 2.5 practices per game (including tourney's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puck Head Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 3 a week? Minimum 3 Typically 4 We have the same sheet of ice Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Always have Thursday off If we have league games Saturday and Sunday, we practice Friday night If we have league games Friday and Saturday (not typical) we practice Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Minimum 3 Typically 4 Difference from hockey there to hockey here .... $$. If you took 20 games off our schedule and turned them into practices, which are only on the weekends anyway, we still wouldn't come close to your hours.

If you took 20 games off our schedule and turned them into practices, which are only on the weekends anyway, we still wouldn't come close to your hours. That is tough. I imagine tourney's are supplemented through sponsorships, etc. One thing to note...3 out of every 4 practices is shared ice for us. That helps a ton with the costs.

Puck Head Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 Great game this morning. Lost 0-2, but was 0-1 with 30 seconds left. Back and forth all game, lots of battle, kids were flying. We didn't get as many shots as we should, but plenty of scoring chances, (step 1). Team we played is a top team so anything better then 0-5 is a bonus.

Mike Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Pasted his old team 8-3. He didn't play today, because the other goalie can't make it tomorrow. He was little pissed, but we play them again in a tournament in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually bear the Alaska All stars last night 5-2 Upset if the year so far in our league. I expected a couple of 0-7 losses this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 1-0-1 this weekend. The other goalie was sick, so Michael played both games. 3-2 yesterday vs a very good team that smoked everyone last year. And today was the unusual 0-0 tie. Believe it or not, it was a faced paced, offensive game. SOG were 30-22 in favor of us. They had a breakaway :10 into the game. Definitely got more and more nerve racking as the minutes ticked by.

McDougalfaschnitzer Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I agree 100% Mikey...All of those reasons are why I would much rather just be a skills coach and focus on helping people improve their skills instead of just worrying about winning all the time.
