Our Winnipeg Jets hockey team successfully made it to the first round of playoffs. It was a team effort and most of all, Connor Hellebuyck, the number one goalie contributed to the team’s deep success. A trainer who believes in a player and coaches that person in a summer program is imperative and as a result, Connor improved his game immensely.
What about Coach Maurice? He is effective and demonstrated the ability to work the talents of both novice and veteran players. Each player on the team succeeded in their own way. Some players scored several goals and some, not so many. There is an abundance of talent in each of the lines and Maurice tweaked those lines several times. The depth and skill on this team will provide us with excitement heading into the playoffs. Overall, the players respect each other, consistently focus on team spirit and becoming better players in each game.
What a remarkable season and that our team finished in second place with 114 points.
