There are some things I’d like to share with you — maybe personal things or whatever might be going on in my day. Yet, those kinds of things might not really be appropriate for CoachChic.com. So, for now on I’ll be making occasional posts in the new blog that’s linked below…

“Coach Chic’s Hockey Diary”!
I am ashamed to admit that I have gotten caught up in the youth hockey “hype” as my kids have gotten older. That was until my son had the priviledge of skating with Ivan Druzba’s 78 team last night. I had forgotten all of the things that you taught were so important to a childs hockley development, and how his team and their wins really weren’t that important. As I watched, I could picture you on the ice doing as they were. No whistles, very little speaking (I dont’ even know if he speaks English). Absolutely CRAZY leg strength and balance training. I then had the opportunity to watch them scrimmage and their kids were like machines. All I have to show for it is a couple DRUZBA78 hats and my knowledge that we will be getting back involved with the “old coach” to put things back on track. Best wishes as always. Who has 11 year old kids doing deep squats on skates for 60 minutes? I was in awe.
Wow, it’s so nice to hear from you again, Kevin, and I hope the kids and your wife are doing well. Also, thanks so much for the kind words. Oh, and I wouldn’t mind a chance to beat on CJ again!
