The whole program is on the rise. The high school has had a very good year. They are in second place and start the playoffs Tuesday night. I have gotten e-mails from players who want to play next year. So we are doing a good enough job that word is starting to spread.

I play everybody the same amount of ice time. We work as a team and play as a team.

We are one of the smaller schools so it is tough enough to find kids to play. The larger schools have a bigger pool to pick from.

We added two or three kids who played ice hockey before. And the core group has come back from last year when they had no ice hockey experience. It is kind of a combination.

It was what high school hockey is all about. It was a fantastic game.

We use the same general approach. We have to understand why he isn't coming to school and listen to what is coming between them as a person because some anger is directed at you or the school. Anger could be directed at another individual or a life situation. In order to make the student/parent relationship successful, the student must be in touch with his own pain, identity and change.
