Montana 14U girls team has its first team practice on Saturday, then off to Dickinson, ND next weekend for the District jamboree vs. teams from North Dakota and South Dakota. Lots of work putting this team together, I'm excited to see them play and know they'll have a blast. Many of these girls have played only coed hockey and don't realize what high level female hockey looks like. Fall session of adult league started this week; my team had a bye and we play our first game on Monday. Our captain drafted a lot of strong D...so I'd better up my game out front and try to actually put the puck in the net!!! haha

Got my custom QRL's in a little while ago. white graphics kovalchuk pro pattern grip and diamond texture

Best steel I've ever skated on. My profile specs definitely helped, too.

My team isn't bad. We won the championship last season (with a MVP performance by me). But they have a problem with the forwards. Too many turnovers, too much getting trapped down low, too much leaving the zone before the puck, and not enough backchecking. When they can control the puck and get pucks to the net, they are good. But if they have problems doing that, the forwards have no defensive awareness at all. It wasn't like this game was all breakaways and odd man rushes. I can handle those. This was all clean, open looks with a lot of time. A lot of shots from in the "guts" of the ice, And a lot of puck movement when the puck didn't get out of the zone. Those kinds of things are a lot harder to deal with. I had to make a lot of saves on close shots that make it hard to control rebounds, then make the save on the rebound. And a lot going from side to side or back against the grain.
