 Well, can you believe it only a little over a week left in the high school girls hockey regular season in a team with high expectations for a deep run? Brain or little falls who currently holds a 17 and 5 record with three games remaining. The Flying Warriors offensive firepower is undeniable. They've scored six or more goals in five games, but if you ask the team directly, they say the key to success is getting out to early leads and trying not to play from behind. That's really big because it helps keep our momentum going throughout the periods. One thing we emphasize is effort. We know our effort is going to create turnovers. Turnovers are going to lead to offensive chances, which then in turn lead to goals. And so it starts with effort and then everything kind of goes from there. On the other side of the puck, back-checking and great goal-tending have led to the Flying Warriors producing five shutouts and 12 games of only allowing one goal. While the Stout defense has been pretty good, they still say there's always something to work on. We really back-check hard and that helps our defense out when they have people coming in on the offensive zone and just helping our defensemen out. It's really big and you know again that starts with our defense, it starts with our goal tenders, but also our forwards have bought into the fact that we gotta back-check, you know, and we gotta make sure that after we leave the offensive zone, we're not just waiting and watching for our defense to get us back to puck, that we have to be part of that process as well. We have to back-check hard through the neutral zone.
