Skating Coach - Dr. Gaston Schaeffer
Gaston couldn't make it but will come to another practice.
I met Gaston through my Finnish coaching friend Juuso who was coaching Davos in Switzerland and Gaston was the skating coach for all the teams including the pro's. Gaston was Swiss champion, has a Doctorate in Biomechanics, 4 years he travelled the world as a feature skater for Ice Capades and Holiday on Ice. He currently lives in Okotoks with his wife Beatae.
He will show the players an edges warm up they can do every time they step on the ice, as well as principles of striding.
Something for the players to watch from Kim McCullagh a former National team player.
Teaching Physicality in Female Hockey 52 mins.
Kim's provides ideas to develop contact confidence with Female players so they may gain and keep possession of the puck.The players and their parents appreciate the benefit of using body contact to protect and possess the puck. Kim's practice and game video of players at all ages teach importance of contact when you have puck. The sharks compliment Kim for sharing her ideas and discuss the similarity with male hockey. Body checking / Hitting is allowed the Bantam level. Kim's progressions will help boys and girls be more prepared to handle physicality at higher levels.

Inferno Game 11-03-22
https://youtu.be/LUfRRMVsXOY
We played really well and outplayed them but got out scored. Our best passing game so far and we dominated the shots 38-20. We completed 45 passes and will use this as a baseline for other games.
Practice 11-04-22
Jim was sick so Cassie, Gaston and I with 14 skaters and two guest goalies.
10' - Machine gun passing full ice - some players struggled with the flow.
10' - Canadian Women Team flow passing. - Again some struggled. I should only try one new thing per practice.
20' x 2 - Gaston take half the skaters for stride improvement.
20' x 2 - Cassie-Tom the other group with two goalies.
10' - Two nets on goal line. F pass to D and screen goalie. D drag and shoot. D both nets at same time.
10' - Group A play 4-4 with two nets on goal line. Rule - must make two passes before you can score.
10' - Group B we changed the game to cross ice 2-2 with one Joker from each team behind nets. Rule - must pass to a Joker to be on offense. It went much better that the first game.
15' - Full ice 5-5 change on their own. Rule - one pass in each zone and must make an escape move to beat one defender before passing. Last 5' played everyone 7-7 to avoid players being stuck on the bench.
It wasn't as good as most of our practices but we really need to get the D to drag and shoot and the F to screen. Scorched ice data shows that some players have faults in their stride and Gaston worked on that. Our identity is to move the puck and every game worked on getting open, moving to space and making plays.

November 25 Practice
Focus was on individual defensive skill. Melissa was there to work with Peyton for 20' and help with the drills and games. Playing from the net out with tight gaps is main principle of defending. We have to go from Puck Focus to net side focus and the players struggled with the concept. Really important if they want to move to higher levels.

Wickfest Tournament
We are in a tournament now named after Hailey Wickenheiser. Cassie played on a line with her and was captain of the team.
Teams are really good and have a lot of strong individual players. After 4 games we are 1-2-1. I don't know if we are in the playoff round or not. There is a tie breaker formula after everyone has played.
Diary of a Season 2022-23
Over the years some coaches like me to post our practices. So here we go again.
I have been coaching pro men, college men, pro women, college women, U18 AA, AAA, Boy's AA, A etc.since 2000.
I retired from my College W team and my son Jim was asked to coach a U13 AA girls' team. He said he would if I help as he is too busy to always be there. I like coaching with Jim so agreed to help him.
We have had one practice and parent meeting. Cassie Campbells' daughter is a F on the team and she has agreed to be an assistant coach in charge of the D. I bribed Melissa Kunzelman into coming once every two weeks to work with the goalies. Gaston has agreed to some skating sessions.
We only have one the other AA team goalie may come those practices.
We have 9 F, 6 D, 1 G.
Tonight we share the ice with the other AA team. Last practice was full ice. Not sure how many of each we will get.
Should be fun.
