MEMORANDUM:
To: All DeMatha Hockey Families and Players
From: Tony MacAulay – Head Coach
Date: October 19, 2017
R.E.: Red / Blue Inner Squad Scrimmage Games
The DeMatha Hockey Coaching Staff is pleased to announce that we have decided to extend Training Camp with 2 versions of the Red / Blue Game. These games are inner squad matchups to finalize the Training Camp process in a fun, yet competitive environment.
The first scrimmage will be held tomorrow, Friday Oct. 20 at 5:50 PM at the Gardens Ice House.
The second game will be on Monday Oct. 23 at Laurel from 4:00 – 5:50 PM.
Teams will be posted at the arena prior to the games.
The Coaches will meet with each player individually after the final period of Monday’s game to provide feedback as well as to assign players to teams. This process officially concludes our “Training Camp.” When teams are initially assigned, it can be a stressful time for players. However, “the selection process” is an ongoing operation that the Coaches perform on a weekly basis, so there will be player movement between all teams to aid in the process. When factors such as injuries and academics are taken into account, we want to be able to help players do their best to improve while helping all teams involved in the Program.
The Coaching Staff will try to speak to everyone as quickly as possible in the post-game one on one meeting with players. Although it is a long process, we feel that this type of communication is vital to the development and communication skills for each player in the Program.
Thank You to ALL Players for your hard work to date. The enthusiastic vibe and positive energy coming from Training Camp so far has been outstanding.
We look forward to the upcoming scrimmages so if you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.
GO STAGS!
Cheers,
Tony
