Players/Parents/Fans and Mascots!!
What a great end to a fantastic tournament in Orleans! Thanks to all who came out to watch and cheer on the Angry Birdz, in all their angry bird gear. The boys really played some exciting hockey and all should be proud of the way we played this weekend. Through the ups and downs of the games one thing remained constant -- everyone gave their best effort to get to the final and be the best team on the ice.
In hockey, any team can win on any given day. In these 5 games, our boys showed us all, they have the desire and ability to be the best team on the ice. They played hard together and came together as a team. Congratulations boys! You are all Champions!!
PS -- we may need to take a collection from the parents for a porta-potty behind the bench :)

Hustle
Posted by: Betty Woodman on Thu Nov 03rd 2011 3:48pm
HUSTLE
Almost from the moment a boy laces his first pair of skates, someone is urging him to hustle. His father, his brother, his teammates, his coaches, his fans and even his mother tell him to hustle.
He soon discovers that hustle is an attitude. It can be described in many ways. In a phrase, "it is being there first." It is maximum effort joyfully expressed.
Hustle is a driving, vigorous desire to succeed, and that motivation is visible. It is skating like a man on fire and enjoying every eye watering second of it.
Hustle wears many faces. Whoops, hollers, scowls and laughter are all aspects of the devil that motivates that hustle. But determination is at the bottom of it all.
Hustle is also the concentration, singleness of purpose. Hustle eliminates pain and enhances courage. You give a little more than you, or the coach, or your opponent thought you had. It is stops and starts until your lungs jam your rib cage and your breath turns to steam.
Hustle is changing shifts on the fly, and heading right for the goal. Hustle is not talk, it is action.
Hustle is doing one thing while thinking about the next move and the one after that. It is knowing where your teammate will be and sending the puck to him, right on the money.
When you hustle you'll know it. Girls wink at you, players respect you, coaches use you as an example and kids wait for your smile after the game. You'll feel your teammates sweaty glove on the back of your neck, and you'll see the crowd jumping in the air. The lights on the board change and there is a feeling inside that is all your own.
You see hustle is not just a word. It's character, personality and habit all rolled into a way of life. It's the thing that makes hockey worth every fleeting minute of the effort.

Hi Angry Birdz
As I get more used to adding things to the site, I will let you know. I have added our Orleans Tournament games to the calendar. i have also figured out how to automatically inform you of games, practices and events. You will receive a Confirmation of Attendance, 4 days before the event and then a reminder the day before. Keep you fingers crossed - lets hope that it works :).
Thanks for your patience while I figure this out!!

Hi all of you Angry Birdz
Welcome to our site. You will find here our schedule and as we figure out more options, we will certainly add more things.
So far our season looks very promising. I am excited to play with all of our boys and together learn more about team sports, playing on a team, developing hockey skills and above all, having a successful season based on good hockey and fun!
Have a look at the site so far, we have tried to send out a reminder about the game on Saturday - working on all of the things we need to do.
Once we have a logo, we will add it here and hopefully find some other fun things.
As always, contact me if you have any questions etc.
See you at the rink
Coach Scott
