These are the sellers pics but got this Ribcor Trigger2 PMT for $150 shipped from Canada on SidelineSwap.

Made every goalies dream save last night. Guy coming down the right side, fires a pass over to my left. He blasts a one-timer at the net. My right to left is a bit weak so I really had to stretch... full extension... snagged the puck just inside the post pretty much right on the goal line. Pretty much felt just like this:

Just wanted to say that I love this idea and am weirdly excited to be the first one posting here.... Hopefully other coaches will join in and create a cool forum where we can exchange ideas, give feedback, and generally help us become better coaches and ambassadors of the game. Also...I hope that, in time, this can become a place where players, parents, and friends can come and get answers to general questions that they may not otherwise be able (or willing...) to ask their coach. (Please note that I emphasize 'general' in the above, because there's no way anyone here can give answers to specific questions pertaining to individual teams or situations that we're not part of. Put differently, it's unreasonable to ask how to approach your kid's coach about putting Jimmy, Mikey, and Bobby on the same line. Without actually coaching Jimmy, Mikey, and Bobby's team, no one on an internet forum can hope to give an answer to something that, ultimately, should be left to the coach's prerogative...) Anyway. Personally, I'm a full-time youth/minor hockey coach, currently coaching club 8UA, 10UBB and A, and assistant coaching 14UA and 16UA. Previously, I've coached 14U Tier 1 AAA, 12U Tier 2 AA, and local high school hockey; but have taken time away from the more travel-intensive teams to concentrate on building our club's younger levels. (Plus, I have an 8 year old, and having to miss more games of his than I attended wasn't working for me anymore...) Other coaches, jump in! Sound off! Let's go! It's state tournament time...how are your teams looking???

First off, if you would like to advertise, we can definitely send you a media kit with our rates. We've run advertisements since 2011. Email admin@modsquadhockey.com for details. Secondly, there were several people in this thread that couldn't find it. My distro told me they had limited stock, and something like from here on out all of that steel was going to go through True. I'm sure that member was PMd several times by people who could get it for him. I figured I would give him an option. People in the business have made a name for themselves, picked up clients and have sold numerous goods and services (either through the Gear Exchange or the PM grey market) for 14 years. Meanwhile, I have to find ways to keep the site afloat so that you guys can continue to do that. Coupled with the fact that I paid a ton of money to Chadd to own the site outright a year ago. I haven't drawn a salary since then because of that.

Just picked these up off eBay... Elmira College returns. Couldn't resist because they will look amazing with my tournament team colors (retro LAK)

Well, the head coach for my wife's team asked me to take over the duties for next year. I accepted. He retired from his job and wants to be free to travel with his family. We started our playoffs (they do a tournament weekend) yesterday with me behind the bench as the head coach was in his own playoffs for his league. We won 1-0. Try coaching your wife. I've gotten the "is he pissed at me because I criticized" look from the head coach/assistant coach to my wife being salty on the bench because she doesn't want to take orders from her husband...

It has been a few years since I've been behind the bench as an assistant but I'm always happy to share my philosophies.

I'm coaching a women's team here in MI. I haven't coached a team in almost 10 years. It's a tough gig - have some beginners as well as some veterans - the common thread is that they have never played any organized hockey. Some are receptive, the older ones are not. I'm glad you guys are excited about this. Like I said, this is a community; make this space yours! If you guys want subforms or anything for a better structure, just PM me with your ideas.

I think a lot of good can come out of this thread(s). About me: This is my third year coaching (first year as a head coach). I have a big boy job so coaching is a side-gig for me that I'm passionate about. I'm an Assistant Coach for the same head coach at the 14UA and Varsity levels respectively. I'm also the JV Head Coach at the same high school. All this while still officiating enough games to stay in the loop haha (finishing up my 7th season). With that being the case, I know how it is be on both sides of the boards and hope that more coaches look to wear the stripes: it will change your perspective for the better. That being said, I'm looking forward to answer and ask question and hope that this more current and to-be members contribute. We all are passionate about the game so we can all learn from each other.
