Coach’s Corner

Michael is a wonderful teammate and highly coachable. He is very fast with powerful strides when he gets into open ice. Michael has shown noticeable improvement in his passing, I still feel this is an area to improve especially when on the rush and in transition. He has been one of our top players and his absence was noticeable when he was injured in our first tournament. Michael has the ability to be a dominant force at both ends of the ice.
