We had the new, revamped A-Team's first practice last night. Most of the folks we got are from hockey workout, where they've played together for a while. This is good because they know how to skate, pass and shoot, all of which is critical. This is bad because hockey workout is 3 on 3 so when Dana tried to start it off with a 5 on 0 drill, they didn't quite know what that meant. We scaled it back to be 2 on 0, passing, then increased it from there. By and large, the folks we got are pretty skilled and once they learn the timing of 5 on 5, I'm daring to hope that this team will be stronger than last season's team. Woo!
