 Welcome to the Torrey Amoff Show presented by Buffalo Wildwings. I'm Sam Murray joined now with Stevenson Women's Ice Hockey Head Coach, Torrey Amoff and Coach. Coming out four straight games, tough opponents, two at the Cod Fishbowl and then that double header against Endicott. How would you assess your team's performance through the first half of the year? So the talent of the first half really didn't go the way we had planned. I think we learned a lot through it. It's still kind of emotional right now. They were two tough losses that we were really looking to kind of pull through and win as a team and prove to everyone else that we're the team that we've been making strides to be for the past couple of months. We fell short, which was unfortunate, but we have a couple of big wins under our belt too. Every game pretty much up to Sunday was a close game, so we've worked hard to get where we are. We've played through adversity, but we're just not quite to the point where we can win every winnable game, and that's kind of our goal going into the second half. You've had 16 different skaters register a point this year, so almost everyone who has touched the ice has a point. Is that something you expected? Did you expect someone to kind of run away as a points leader of the team? Are you happy with the distribution of the points? Yeah, I'm happy with the diversity and goal scoring, even from offense to defense. We've got goal scorers in every aspect of the game, so it's really exciting to know that no matter who we put on the ice, we have people who can produce, so that's relieving. Usually you have a star that you can always rely on that always puts it away, but it's really dispersed quite nicely, so we're happy with that. Then a big part of your team this year has been goal-tending. Both your senior and Andy Smith-Hammon and the junior Annika Carlynder have really really stepped up big this year for you. Can you talk about both their play? They both just show up. We have kind of been in a nice rotation where each goalie gets their game in the weekend, they get a break, they get to relax after their game, but everybody shows up or both of them show up every single time. We know when they get in the net, they're going to do their job, so that's nice to know and it's reassuring. It definitely puts playing at ease and makes it a little more comfortable to just play your game. Is that something that you're comfortable with rotating, splitting the weekend with, or are you still waiting for one of them to take that starting job? Being a head coach, it's a new part of it. Being a new head coach, the goalie aspect, but I just love that both of them are so reliable and they're so supportive of each other. It's really an amazing connection that they have and they feed off of each other when they're doing well in net and it's just fun to watch. I'm really happy with where we're at in the rotation. We'll call it the midway point of your season. You have this lengthy break. What are your goals and what are your expectations for the second half of the year? We have talked about the break with the team just because it's longer than normal. It's almost a month long, which can get risky. We have workouts in place. We talked about getting on the ice when they can because we don't want to start over. We want to be able to pick up where we left off. There's going to be a little bit of conditioning on ice involved in that. But yeah, we're hoping to be able to push through this long break and come out even hotter the second half than we were the first part of that first half. Well, coach, we wish you a happy holidays, happy new year, and we'll see you back here in 2020. Thanks, Sam. For head coach Tori Amoff, I'm Sam Murray and this has been the Tori Amoff Show.
