2010/2011 NobleKing Atom Rep Season Preview

Season Goals Continue the development of existing players at “A” level hockey. Ensure a proper balance of winning and having fun in a positive, fun and rewarding environment. Improve our winning percentage from 2009/2010 (finish over.500) Ongoing development of basic hockey skills (skating, shooting, puck handling, passing). Ensure the individual skills of each player are maximized. Further develop Team Tactics/Strategies. The focus will be to use our basic skills above to our advantage…on breakouts, fore- checking, back-checking, offensive zone, power play and penalty killing. CONTINUE TO ENSURE A FUN, POSITIVE AND REWARDING EXPERIENCE FOR PARENTS AND PLAYERS

What Changes in 2010/2011? Less skaters (11 or 12) and 1 goaltender…need absolute commitment from ALL families Less investment in equipment….more $ on development – 5:00 in Nblton booked Work Ethic – kids are now 10 years old and should understand work ethic. This will be a key factor in our success – other teams may be more talented…our kids and coaches will commit to be the hardest working team Introduce “C”s and “A”s AP – potential for AP players Team “Admin” – Meaghen Riddell (Manager), Wendy Anderson (Treasurer) Orillia out….Beeton and Schomberg back in
