Just 3 weeks to go, let the games begin...

With tryouts approaching at a blistering pace, the Winnipeg Ice are 3 weeks away from beginning a long journey through the Manitoba Female Midget Hockey League. As mentioned within these pages, much has been accomplished this off-season, in preparation for an exciting hockey season beginning in September. But the Winnipeg Ice are still looking for two key individuals:

1- Female Assistant Coach
2- Female Athletic Therapist (volunteer or student)

Tryouts for Female Midget AAA begins in roughly three weeks, so anyone who interested is encouraged to contact the team in the next week or two. The coaching staff would like this position to filled within the next two weeks.

Please contact the team at winnipegaaaice@gmail.com if you are interested in either of these positions, or visit www.winnipegice.net

What's happening these days?

Everyone loves summer. There's no doubt the coaching staff is enjoying our amazing summer so far. However, we are also counting down the days until September; when we get our first look at the prospective players in tryouts. We are very excited to have already started planning for next season, for a group of girls we don't even know yet! We have accomplished a lot already, but these were mostly off-ice tasks that will help promote and showcase our players...something we take very seriously. We launched our official Twitter account, this daily (well, this will-be-daily-once-the-season-starts) coach's blog, and finally just last week we launched our new and improved official team website (www.winnipegice.net if you haven't been there yet).


But we're far from finished our tasks for the summer, no, we are just getting started. Here are a few things we are tackling these days:

• Designing new team apparel (for both staff and players)
• Actively seeking an athletic therapist (please contact us if you know someone!!!)
• Planning our strength and conditioning (and yoga) program
• Developing our on-ice season plan, from tryouts, to regular season, to tournaments, and finally through the playoffs
• Including our team strategies/philosophy/PP & PK, and much more...
• Planning our first team event (well, this one's a secret...I'm afraid nobody outside of the team (staff, players, and parents) is going to get to hear about this until after it happens...but it's going to be amazing!!)

Yes, a lot is happening these days with respect to the Winnipeg Ice AAA Hockey Team. We are very excited to share our journey with everyone through this blog. Again, a much more daily version of this blog is coming in September, but do keep your eye on us, as we approach the start of what promises to be an extremely wild ride with the Ice this season!
