Breakfast Club: Week 3 with Kirk
Scottie comes stumbling into the locker room today throws down his hockey bag and announces I have a BAD ATTITUDE......Thanks for the news flash big fella you need a couple of Tylenol. I'll make sure not to team up with him today; I don't want that big moose bowling me over.
I don't know what it was but I was having more fun than a professional beer leaguer deserves at hockey school today. Lyle has that opening drill of taking a snap shot from different angels on the goalie. This has become my favorite shot, and I'm obsessed with learning to execute this shot better. I play on a team with Donnie J and he snapped off a shot for a goal last week. We both promised not to tell Lyle. We need to keep his ego in check.
Passing and more passing. Can you consistently make a tape-to-tape pass and catch a hard pass? Don't overlook the fundamentals of these skills. Then a little edge work with Scottie. I do have trouble getting on the outside edge of my left foot. Worked up a sweat doing that stuff. When I'm bending my knees and using my outside edges, I feel a lot more comfortable and maneuverable on my skates. Then the passing, 2-on-0 drill. That was a good one .., put a little pressure on the passers then a 2 player rush for a shot on goal.
Laura and I teamed up on a couple runs. One time I didn't pass to her, I had my blinders on and thought I could five-hole the goalie with my new expert shot, the snap shot. Still having directional problems with the shot, it did hit close to the goalie a few feet from the net. So, obviously, I didn't follow directions (once again) and pass the puck to Laura for the shot. Sorry Laura, I owe you yet again. Lyle was giving me that look as if to say do the doctors at the institution know you’re out right now.
It was a great day on the ice folks all these things make us better players. Oh, Scottie admitted after class he was in a much better mood now. See how that works, you'll rarely, if ever, walk away from the rink not feeling good. That's a big part of why we do this isn't it? Kirk out
