This is one of Hill's stronger JV teams. As we continue to adjust to playing with fewer players, holding Hill to a tie (1-1) at the end of the first period is some sort of moral victory. The fact that we didn't do quite as well after the first, should be a lesson. Following a game plan to slow down a superior, stronger, faster skating team, we executed perfectly in the first -- then we got a little lazy and played more to their strengths and our weaknesses. We tended to play more of a backchecking game, playing on the full surface, which tired our players -- those who were logging more ice time. We'll need to do a little better in completing a game plan, if we're to be successful this weekend. Let's continue to work hard.
