We are a few weeks into our 2018/2019 Hockey and Ringette season and this year will look a lot different than previous few years!!
Blake is playing on the KC Spartans this year, a tier 1 team based out of the St. Matthews hockey club. Due to a new tiering structure that Hockey Alberta rolled out this season, KC rep is no longer housing A teams. Blake's happy to be back on the ice with some of his best buds but we're all a little unsettled at the unexpected changes. Cal is not coaching this year and we're unsure how the move back to St. Matt's will go but we're staying positive and hoping for the best. At the end of the day we just want Blake to enjoy himself and the good thing is, Blake is very resilient and is so awesome at finding the positives in life, he's just the best that way :) He is super excited to be with Brogin and Dante again and so are we! Let's go Spartans!!!
Emerson is super excited to have made a step 3 team! She skated hard in evaluations and is on one of two, top U10 teams! She doesn't know very many players on her team but I know she'll make fast friends with everyone! I'm excited to be assistant coaching this season and very excited to be alongside her head coach, who is a former WAM! player, national team player and champion and currently a coach of the national team! I have a feeling this will be a great season for both Em and I :)
Reese is happy to be in U10 this year and playing actual league games!! She did awesome in evaluations too and is on a step 1 team. I am co-coaching with the same person I coached Reese with last year and we're going to have a great season! Can't wait to see this teams development over the course of the next few months! There's so much growth at this level!
So we are already full-swing into the rink life and looking forward to league play starting soon. Can't wait to cheer them all on!! See 'ya at the rink :)
