I get asked questions about what a team or player should do on a road trip all the time,

so I just decided to publish this for all of you!Notes:Stay away from fast food, Soda, energy drinks, things that are high in sugar. You need carbs but don’t overdo it. “Eat for performance, not for pleasure.” The goal with every meal is muscular recovery and to reduce muscle break down.Breakfast- (Hotel)I know the usual hotel continental breakfast is tough so I listed a couple options to help!• Non sugary cereal.• Toast/Bagel/English muffin: Top with peanut butter, Honey. • Waffles are ok, use honey instead of syrup to if you like peanut butter then throw it on there.• Sausage and eggs are going to be your main protein sources, feel free to through them into the bagels or toast and make sandwiches.• P r o t e i n S h a k e (Ages 15 and up) and multivitamin if possible• FruitPre Game 1 hr Before• Protein Bar• Coconut Water/Propel• Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwhich • Fruit45 min before• Dynamic Stretch5 min before• Amino Drink (ages 15 and up)• Natural, local unfiltered honey

Post Game• Protein Shake or Chocolate milk (not a lot, gingerLunchI am sure you will have team meal at a restaurant. Meat and pasta is fine don’t overdo it on the carbs and the bread sticks, but make sure to get some good quality protein, and some good carbs. Stay away from heavy sauces and meals with lots of fat, Pizza, hamburgers and the like. Try to keep a good variety of colors on the plate and get those vegetables in!Repeat pre and post for 2nd game

DinnerSame as Lunch, you do not have to do Italian, just be reasonable, at this point though if all games are played then you may carb load in preparation for tomorrow’s games. If you can’t get to a real restaurant try places like Subway or Super Wal-Mart both have great cheap Sandwiches and are open a little later.

Try to keep a good variety of colors on the plate and get those vegetables in! Sometime in the evening the team should take a light jog and do a 10 minute Static Stretch. Ice Baths in the evening if you can handle it are great as well since it will greatly aid in muscular recovery. I hope this is extremely helpful and as always if you have any questions please ask us at [email protected]! ■

The hockey season is a marathon not a sprintFrom the Board and Coaching leadership of Alliance Youth Hockey Association

The Youth Hockey Season is an ongoing developmental process that really never starts nor ends. Our goals should be process driven

(development) not result driven(winning). It is imperative that we make parents and players understand this. Ultimately, if we remain process driven, winning will be the end result as players develop and perfect skills over time. That being said, the hockey season consists of many different aspects that help this process along: • Practice • Off ice training • Games • Classroom/Video • Nutrition • Rest • Socialization • Lessons • Involvement in other athletic activities There has been and continues to be too much emphasis on games when they only constitute a very small percentage of this developmental process. When scheduled correctly and coached properly, they can be an excellent mechanism to improve overall skill and development. If done incorrectly, they can lead to worsening of bad habits, stagnation of development, burnout and quitting the sport.

It is important that players and parents understand that too many games is detrimental. It is also important that they understand the types of competition is also important. The popular concept of “playing up” as a general rule can have terrible consequences to growth and development. Many younger teams struggle to compete so they commit more penalties, learn bad habits and exhibit high levels of frustration. Each team’s game schedule should be well balanced and consist of different levels of competition for different reasons:Slightly lesser or weaker opponents – gain confidence and work on skills learned in practiceEqual opponents – preparation and performance key to successSlightly better or stronger opponents – improve speed at which game is played and gain experience playing at a higher levelIn all these cases, lopsided victories or defeats are truly counterproductive to the end result -DEVELOPMENT. The perfect season for development is all teams with 50% wins and all games won or lost by a single goal. This is truly difficult to accomplish but it is our job as coaches and administrators to find this balance when placing our teams (kids) in situations to succeed or fail. All youth hockey associations should focus their energy on the long term success of development for the good of the kids. As they develop, gain skills, gain confidence and mature, winning is what will follow.■

The weekend of October 12th – 14th the Texas Junior Brahmas Bantam Major team coached by Ron Vogel and

Kevin McLeod hit the road to compete in the Kansas City Ice Breaker Youth Hockey Tournament. While the Jr. Brahmas Bantam team is classified locally as a division “A” team by the Dallas Stars Travel Hockey League, the team competed in the Tournaments “AA” division along with other AA teams from Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska. The Jr. Brahmas hit the ice for their first game Saturday morning to face the Omaha Jr. Lancers. The Brahmas scored first and scored often, securing their first win of the tournament with a final score or 6-0. The Jr. Brahmas returned to the ice for the second game of the day, to face the Des Moines Jr. Buccaneers. After a hard-fought, evenly-matched, defensive-minded game, the game ended tied with a score of 1-1. Early Sunday morning the Jr. Brahmas hit the ice for their third of four “round robin”” games against the St. Peters Spirit. The Brahmas found themselves again in a low scoring defensive

struggle with a strong St. Peters team. The Brahmas scored first, and the game was 1-0 well into the 3rd period. With two minutes left on the clock, St. Peters Spirit scored bringing the score to 1-1. Realizing the importance of a win, the Brahmas refocused and returned to the ice, determined to not end this game with another tie. With just 2.7 SECONDS left on the clock the Jr. Brahmas scored ending the game 2-1 and moving them one game closer to playing the Championship Game. In the final round robin game of the tournament the Jr. Brahmas (2-0-1) faced the undefeated Kansas City Stars (3-0-0). With multiple scenarios of advancing to the Championship game, the Jr. Brahmas were focused on controlling their own destiny, focusing on a win over the Stars to put them in the Championship Game. Kansas City’s speed and skill, played early in the game, was a clear example of why they were also undefeated at this point in the tournament. Following key adjustments by Coaches Vogel and McLeod, the Brahmas pulled ahead to win the game with a final score of 3-2, clinching their spot as the top seeded Home team in the Championship game. Following a short break, the Brahmas hit the ice for the 3rd time that day on Sunday afternoon for a re-match against the second seed Kansas City Stars. The Jr. Brahmas took the lead first this time ending the first period 2-0, but the Stars quickly tied it up in the second period with two back-to-back goals in 60 seconds. Following the second goal, Coach Vogel called a pivotal timeout to refocus the team. Following the timeout, the Brahmas defensive adjustments were evident and they took the lead 3-2. With 1.5 minutes left in the third period, the Stars pulled their goalie and the Jr. Brahmas took a penalty giving the Stars a 6-4 player advantage; however, the Jr. Brahmas scored on the open net ending the game with a final score of 5-2 allowing them to return home with the Championship Banner. ■

Cosmo’s Tip of the MonthWhat is a Scout?By Cosmo Clarke

A scout tries to uncover the hidden talent of a hockey player and report back to

teams with notes on a player’s strength and weaknesses. Scouting and recruiting is about seeking and finding a potential player for a team for the future. Every team looking for players will have different needs and wants based on the players that they currently have on their roster. Coaches and GM are continuously working with a jigsaw puzzle. Teams utilize the service of scouts to help build a championship team. Every scout will have their own unique evaluating system, but here is a brief breakdown of what they grade players on.

Skating; skating skills: skating acceleration, skating stride, skating agility, mobility skating, backwards skating.

Puck Handling: Passing game, controls the play, give and receives passes, win faceoff.

Hockey Sense: Vision, playmaker, anticipation, plays good position, and is relaxed with puck. Knows where to go to receive a pass. Understands how to utilize line mates strengths and weaknesses on the ice.

Shooting Ability or Scoring Ability: Sniper finisher, slap shot, wrist shot, natural goal scorer. Knows where to go to receive a pass or be open up for a scoring opportunity.

Competitive and Aggressive: aggressive, tough and respected, intimidating.

Character, Leadership and Attitude: Natural leader, a team player, a warrior, a grinder, a maintenance player, good grades, relationship with family/friends/coaches, etc…

Offensive and Defensive Skills: Back-checking game, fore-checking game, can play solid at both ends of the ice, can play on penalty kill and power play, can rush the puck as a defenseman, To finish the evaluation of a

Goalies: Goalies have their own category. Lateral agility movements, quick up-down, control rebounds well, puck control, recovers quickly when the goes down, anticipation, plays angles well and good outside the crease, quick gloves, challenge the shooters, communication. A big part of the game these days is finding a goalie who can and is willing to play the puck. The bottom line is that players have to work at having an all-around game. It takes a lot of time, effort, passion, and sacrifice to move to the next level. It also requires being in the right place at the right time. ■

Rachel Rice (Oilers PW A - Lapane) “SCORE!”

DID YOU KNOW?The average lifespan of an NHL hockey puck is 7 minutes. Those that don’t fly into the stands are removed because they warm up from friction and bounce on the ice. Game pucks - chilled to -10° Fahrenheit for maximum performance - are kept in a freezer in the penalty box.
