Brian Wheeler — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 13:41:59 GMT

Here's a Great Charity Organization ,Resto-vie being helped by the PeeWee BB Buccaneers. The first hockey team I know to get involved, hopefully one of many. My Hat is off to Eugene Dube, who as George Springate mentioned in the news recently, found himself to be the last man standing in the kitchen this summer. Thankfully he found the strength and determination to carry-on and continue providing meals, approximately 80,000 per year. This picture is Eugene Dube with the Coach of the PeeWee Bucs Yvan Maldonado.

LSL Lions Midget AAA 1st Half and St.L Tournament Winners showing how to score goals.

Brian Wheeler — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 04:33:57 GMT

For Family,Friends and Fans, here are the LSL Lions Midget AAA 1st Half and Tournament Winners, show again how to score on the opponent. This Video Montage may be proof that Coach Danny Dupont may have a future outside of Hockey. These Guys manged to win the St Leonard Tournament at the Martin Brodeur Arena, earlier this month so here is the link. http://www.tournoimidgetstleonard.qc.ca/gagnant06.htm November, 2006 - LIONS DOMINATE AT SAINT LEONARD TOURNAMENT The Lac St. Louis Lions Midget AAA team took part in the 33 annual Saint Leonard Tournament from September 1-5. The Lions won the tournament convincingly outscoring their opposition in the preliminary rounds 19-2. In the Semi-final game played Sunday morning the Lions came out flying and defeated the Laurentides Vikings 4-0 allowing them to move on to the finals to play Laval Bourassa. The final on Sunday afternoon was a hotly contested affair with Laval-Bourassa jumping out to a first shift lead on a tough bounce that Matthew Dopud could not get a handle on. The Lions throughout the period clearly were the better team but despite some sustained pressure they could not put one into the Laval-Bourassa net. Read the latest news at, http://www.lsllions.com/english.htm My personal opinion is that you may see this team in the Midget AAA National Tournament this year representing Quebec like the Patriots did last year. Best of Luck Lions !!! Congrats, to the Sponsors as well, Sodi Fruits, Alasko, Banque Nationale, Le Marche de l'Ouest, Madison's Steakhouse, Saputo, Matelas Bonheur, Federal, the UPS store, and McCain.

Quick Zone Breakout Video by the Bucs

Brian Wheeler — Sat, 18 Nov 2006 14:04:16 GMT

The Bucs players show how to breakout of the defensive zone by making a quick pass to the forward with speed. Thanks again to P.J. Stock for the reminder and to the Bucs as well for demonstrating how speed is changing hockey.

Quick Zone Breakout

Brian Wheeler — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 04:03:34 GMT

Thanks to PJ Stock at www.Team990.com for the reminder, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P.J._Stock (P.J. has been Entertaining and Vocal about the NHL since he had his first spot on Melnyk's show as a guest. Yesterday he was a guest on Michael Lansberg's show Off The Record, which is also Linked on this page at the right under Podroll.) Today I am talking about the Quick Zone Breakout and how the new rules will help the offensive attack. Make sure the Defense practices the Breakout Pass by hitting the rushing Forward at Full Speed. If the Forwards generate enough speed they will not be stopped until they reach the offensive zone. I am hoping to put together a video to illustrate this possibility soon.

More About Hockey Penalties, Gaining the Advantage.

Brian Wheeler — Tue, 31 Oct 2006 12:41:13 GMT

Thanks for the attention this month. We have had an incredible increase in the number of Page Views and Downloads. They have been from Seattle and Vancouver to Colorado, Detriot, Boston, Toronto, Montreal even Isreal, India, and China, Imagine that ! Reducing penalties is the best way to improve your team play and gain an advantage over the opposition. The penalties can be avoided and your team will have more ice time to score goals. You may even end up with more powerplays since many teams are still playing old style hockey and taking silly penalties. I can not stress this advantage enough, too many teams are slow to pick-up on this change in hockey. See more on the Hockey Penalties at, http://www.hockeycanada.ca Again many thanks for your support of Sports Podcasts !

Speed and a good shot are the forwards best weapons against size. Most defense are Big and Powerful but not always as quick. Girl's Power against the #1 Team.

Brian Wheeler — Tue, 28 Feb 2006 12:17:09 GMT

Tips for Forwards are coming. In the meantime, here is a forward doing her job against the #1 team, who were mostly twice her size. The forwards have to use the advantage of speed over size. So crash the net, and try to face your teammate, to see the pass better when you set-up for your shot on net. Also, Golden Congrats to Jennifer Heil !!!
