U15 Pre-Season Wrap-Up
The anticipation and excitement is building as we wrap up our pre-season with a record of 2-2-1. It's been an incredible month of growth, teamwork, and determination, and we're all fired up to take on the challenges that lie ahead in our first tournament of the season.
Throughout the pre-season, our team has shown tremendous progress. We've trained hard and learned from each other. Our 2-2-1 record only tells part of the story; the real victory has been in the way we've come together as a unit.
Key Takeaways:
Teamwork: Our success has been built on the foundation of teamwork. Every player has brought their unique strengths to the ice, and we've learned that when we work together, we're practically unstoppable. From the first pre-season game to the last, more and more players were chipping in on the offensive-end, defense was communicating, shutting down our opponents and our goalies looked more comfortable with each game that passed.
Resilience: Those Carlisle CHILL games were hard-fought battles against a much bigger and overall older team but those games have toughened us mentally and physically. The 5-5 tie against the London Cobras Red team was a show of resilience as we came back from a late game 5-1 deficit.
Growth: We've all improved individually and as a team, in such a short period. Our coaches have been instrumental in helping us get to where we are.
Support: HUGE shoutout to the parents for being equipment managers, drivers, chefs, supporters and much more!
Now, with the pre-season behind us, our focus shifts to our first tournament and the season ahead!
