Jr.Flags vs Lakers.1.
Tough game in Wallaceburg as the Flags struggle to keep it together....

Tough couple of periods as the Flags struggled to keep it together but our "D" could keep it together as proven when Daden Sheldon took home the "Golden Jersey" playing hard to keep that puck out of our zone. Alex Blair has continued to prove him self time and time again what it takes to be a good defence man and thats why he has taken home the #16"A" jersey!! Well deserved Daden and Alex and thank you for giving it everything you have every game. Goals scored by our Zink boys, Devon and Derek who worked very hard to put them in the net. Assists from Sam Rodey and Graydon MacDonald made it all happen!!

Although this game was generally played well as we tried to advance into the Lakers end , Wallaceburg dominated the ice and seemed to have a good structured game plan on the bench. Sometimes no matter what you do out there it doesn't seem to work and frustration sets in and affects all players. We need to focus on just going out and playing hard every shift and hope that all players having a mindset of playing hard and having fun doing it. Jr.Flags had a few highlights of this game but definitely lacking the focus required to carry through all 3 periods. When the team takes 3-4 penalties every game, the structure , the focus and the drive decreases, therefore the team suffers. This type of play has been happening for the past few games, we need to correct this so the team can continue the team spirit needed to carry on. There definitely can be no more retaliation against the other teams, also we have to remember this is just suppose to be a "Fun" game with everyone leaving a "Champion".

Helping out on this teams bench has been awesome so far this season, but just like the players ,coaches can learn and continue to try and improve the teams skills, but sometimes its real hard to keep it all together and everyone happy and the team spirit up. For the most part of the season things just seem to fall into place and all is good, on the other hand theres times we need to stand back and re-focus and maybe re-structure our team as we as coaches are still learning every game as well. Together we can do this and we appreciate your support as we progress through this season.

Thanks Team.
