Smith's 2nd Week

[DrHexDex 68]

Smith’s 2^nd week in Halifax was an exciting one. Although he spent all his time on the bench he has heard rumors from his team mates and staff that he will be starting the next 4 games. Smith finally got a chance while on the bench to study not only how his defensive men play but how other team’s skater’s play. He was seen on the bench taking notes of player’s tendencies, shot selection, weaknesses, and how often they pass on, 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 situation. Although Halifax may have won 3 out of their 4 games ‘1^st on the 21^st’ got a moment to sit down with him:
 

“I think we’re playing great out there” Smith said “Winning may be a part of the game but what’s more important is our team’s chemistry. These guys have been spending countless hours in the practice ice learning how each person on the roster plays.”

 

We then asked him how he felt about his teammate/competition Cole Mertz’s performance:

“He played hard, and did his job as the team’s goalie, getting 3 wins for us. He’s currently the 2^nd best goalie in the VHLM and I hope to be either the 1^st or 3^rd.” Smith replied.

 

That’s all the time we have, thank you for tuning in to this week’s report of the 1^st on 21^st
