COACHES: When I do faceoff stats - I don't do it for the centers. I do it for lines. Because faceoffs are often won or lost by the players NOT taking the draw.

Coaches refer to faceoffs like the "line of scrimmage" in football. It's the trenches that take second and third efforts to gain possession.

A typical NHL game will have between 50-60 faceoffs per game. In a sport that so values puck possession, it's 50-60 times to gain possession.

In last night's game, there were two faceoffs "won" by the center, but the opponent with their effort at the line of scrimmage WON possession and it led to a goal.

Faceoff intensity doesn't show up on the scoresheet but is such a big part of winning hockey.

Great clips to show your teams!!

Nate Leaman: “We need 20 more Division 1 teams.”

Lot of interesting stuff in here about the idea of USA Hockey taking over college hockey:

Restoring The Rink heads to Philadelphia and @Penn. A blindside budget cut in 1978 derailed the future of @NCAAIceHockey.
Can a university supported endowment bring Division I puck back to the City of Brotherly Love?

Azzi Fudd's advice to young players:

"Put work in outside of team practices. But then play a lot of 1-on-1. Just play the game. I feel like a lot of times people are so focused on workouts & specific moves/drills instead of just playing free, playing pickup, playing 1-on-1"

[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

As an AD, I remind our coaches that building a strong culture is often addition by subtraction. One negative attitude can undo a lot of good. Protect the standard at all costs.

NCAA Championship bound!!! #3 Nazareth storms back from down 3-0 to defeat #2 Norwich 5-4 in overtime! The Golden Flyers will play the winner of #1 University of Wisconsin - River Falls vs #4 Amherst in the Championship game on Sunday at 4 PM EST.

[Brendan Riley @briles15]

As an alum of the program, I am so disappointed in the University. Decades of hard work undone with one short-sighted decision.
As a coach who is all too familiar with having a program cut, my heart breaks for the players and staff.

GREAT ATHLETES ARE COACHABLE

A Coach Cignetti jewel: “Good players want coached. Great players you can’t coach them enough, they want more, more, more.
Inconsistent players want to be coached on their terms.” …(and always have a response or excuse)

[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

As a coach, those who put in the offseason work get first shot at a starting spot. Hard work is rewarded. Returning starter or not, it doesn’t matter.
