  Final few minutes of the Hockey Coaches showing here on the Yukon Sports Network with
• 0:04
  coach cav Adam. Good job with Matthew and Jake. Thank you. You
• 0:09
  were eating broccoli salad for those fifteen minutes. How did you even I was
• 0:12
  actually drinking tea rather you get my friend Mike. Mike. Mike used to
• 0:16
  be a baseball coach in Conventry with me. Okay, yeah, in fact,
• 0:19
  when we're abbers twelve, we coached together, all right, son,
• 0:22
  Yeah, son, Chris, you used to have a pretty good knuckleball back
• 0:25
  in the day, twelve year old. Yeah, yeah, he had a
• 0:28
  knuckle well yeah, yeah, Rob didn't have a knuckleball. He just threw
• 0:31
  strikes. He pounded the zone. Yeah, that's what he did. All
• 0:34
  right. Five games left and you said you want to play your best hockey
• 0:37
  going in. You could finish anywhere from third to eleven. That's how crazy
• 0:41
  this this league's been this year, hasn't it. Yeah, we talked about
• 0:45
  it earlier. There's so much parody. You know, it's certainly you know,
• 0:49
  we've been disappointed with you know, where we are right now as a
• 0:54
  team, certainly record wise. Uh, but you know, you look at
• 0:59
  the pair, it was still twenty two in the country. It's like,
• 1:02
  that's how tough the league's been. That's crazy, I know, I know
• 1:06
  it's So we feel confident though that we can play with anybody in the league,
• 1:11
  and we can beat anybody in the league. So when it's a one
• 1:15
  and done situation in the playoffs, you know, single elimination, it's certainly
• 1:21
  uh, like I said, we're playing our best hockey. We feel pretty
• 1:23
  confident going in On the opposite side of the facility, Chris McKenzie and the
• 1:27
  Yukon women's hockey team staring down the barrel of potentially a first ever regular season
• 1:33
  title. They need two points out of six this weekend to make it happen.
• 1:36
  So how in touch are you with everything that they're doing. Oh,
• 1:41
  for sure, we've been watching. I was talking to them last week before
• 1:42
  they left for Merrimack and Vermont. I think it's great they have so that
• 1:51
  we, you know, see them all the time now and with the new
• 1:53
  rink, there's certainly a lot more you know, spend more time with his
• 2:00
  players as well. You see them in the training room and the weight room,
• 2:05
  and I just thrilled for Corinne and uh Catherine Stockdale and this is just
• 2:15
  a great group tea and goal like they I've watched them play a few times
• 2:21
  too, because they've played before us and we're having pregame meal, and you
• 2:24
  know, they can really skate, they compete, they have great goaltending to
• 2:30
  be hind defend the heck out of it. Yeah, it'd be awesome.
• 2:32
  I mean they have bu right, it's just like we do. All right,
• 2:38
  get it done Friday night, that's right. What about the buzz for
• 2:42
  the women about the pro league? Have you heard much buzz from from the
• 2:45
  kids? A little bit? But you know, I don't not a ton.
• 2:51
  I haven't. You know. I know that Boston has a team,
• 2:53
  and I don't know how many of the Yukon players are playing. And then
• 2:57
  I'm sure there's a few, like I'm sure Natalie Snodgrass that she is playing
• 3:00
  in that league. So she played for Adam getting off han Ottawa, Oh
• 3:05
  Ottawa. Thanks Colin, what do you mean? I was reading his lips?
• 3:07
  I had it well, Mike, We thank you again for coming down
• 3:13
  here. We look forward to seeing another great team come in and hopefully let's
• 3:16
  light the lamp early. Get the folks Intoscatto geeked up because they they've been
• 3:22
  they've been waiting as badly as you had to see that puck going the net,
• 3:24
  I know. So let's get that done this weekend, all right,
• 3:28
