Seg 3 - MHOC Show w Cav March 2 · Coaches Corner

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Back on the Yukon Hockey Coaches Show.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: We're just talking about Anthony Liot Sumaki, who we had
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: on last show and we're teeing.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Him up here.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: You mentioned about what your expectations are of him. We've
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: seen some examples of that, particularly from a physical standpoint.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Last handful of games game in Hartford laid out one
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: of the BC players, Ryan Comedy, a couple of big
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: hits in the UMAs series. Yeah, and he's one of
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: the youngest kids in college hockey and he is knocking
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: guys around.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: But he's also playing very well too. Let's not forget that.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: He's an elite skater. He's so strong. I didn't realize
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: how strong he was, especially on his skates. And he's
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: really coming for us as a player. You know, since
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: he's been paired with Viking, the two of them have
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: been dynamite, you know, taking out taking on the other
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: team's top line an awful lot. And I'm really excited
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: to see where his game's going to go.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Where has it gone the most so far this year.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I just think his overall all play and confidence, his
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: gaps are great. He trusts his feet and his strength. Yeah,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: he's really really strong and going into battles and winning battles,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: and he's playing the off side, which isn't easy. For one,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: it's not easy. I always think that it's easier to
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: come in as a freshman and be a forward. It's
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: a little tougher to be a defenseman and make an
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: impact as a freshman because it's just there's so much
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: more you have to deal with as a defenseman than
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: you do as a forward. And he's just the steps
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: and the jump he's made from Colorado College to now
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: has been astronomical. It's been dynamite.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: So he's not one of the all bus guys. He
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: actually gets out on the ice and it makes it
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: happen out there with his strength.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: He does, Yeah, he does.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: We did get a good kind. I don't know if
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it's a question for the coach. We had a lot tonight.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: A lot had to do with the lights. But I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: seen a lot of broken sticks lately both side. You know, everybody,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: not just Yukon but bbc UMass a couple of.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: What was it the BC series? A couple of broken sticks?
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Or was that Friday night?
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: It's Friday night? We broke taber broke three Friday night.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: It's concerned for me. It's happened in way too much.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: We were just talking off air about it that there
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: should be something. The stick companies should be on the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: hook here a little bit because they're not cheap. You know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: if you're paying two hundred dollars for a stick, it
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: shouldn't break the face off. So the old Eastern synergy,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: that thing never broke and I think maybe that's why
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Eastern went out of business.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know how many stick companies are there now.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Basically it's CCM and Bauer. Those are the two pretty much.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: No Victoriaville, no co Ho remember the co host?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Titan, Yeah, the red Titan.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: That thing never broke it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: It's hurt when you slash somebody.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I had a Titan for deck hockey. I remember those.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Oh those are good, Yeah, those are good.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: How thin are these things? Like the shafts when you break?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: How I think it's more?
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, Yeah don't.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, in baseball they talk about broken
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: bats because guys want handles that are thinner so they
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: can whip it through the zone more. Is there anything
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: like that in hockey or is it it's just the material.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: At this point, I think, so yeah, I just think,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: what do.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: You mean, like, well, we're BREI did last week on
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: a check swing on checks wing, just above the hands.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Did you see the video of that?
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: No?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you broke He took a tap. He didn't
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: even swing. He did this and the batches snapped in half.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: And sometimes you probably have a you know, the hairline. Yeah,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: or that can happen, but you know, brand new sticks
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: shouldn't break like that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Yep, No, uh, you've got This is a tight little
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: road here. Providence clinched the regular season crown over the weekend.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: They're not going to be caught. But there's a lot
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: still to be determined between ween seventh and second over
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the next two games. Some teams only have one game left,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: be you, Northeastern have one game left, so does Maine, Yukon,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: U Mass, New Hampshire where you see Thursday, they have too,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: So there's still a lot to play for here.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Oh god, yeah, it's you know. The nice thing for
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: us is that if we win on Thursday, then we're
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: guaranteed another home game at Tuscano, and that's kind of
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: where our focus is, where even if even if we
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: weren't guaranteed another home game, we'd still be focused on sure,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: you know, trying to win that hockey game. But that's
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: just a little more added incentive for us to be
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: able to play at home, you know, in the first
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: round of the playoffs.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: And thinking back to the last home game on Friday
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: against you Mass with Senior Day, was there anything noteworthy
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: about the actual pomp and circumstance and the family. Is
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: any any stories of I mean families. Seemed like everybody
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: had families, make it out and a successful night celebrating
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: a really impressive group.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, we had our little brunch banquet
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: yesterday for the We always do that on Sunday after
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Senior Night, and it was really amazing to me. We
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: had seven players and one manager and how eloquent they
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: were because we have them all get up and say
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: a few words, and usually you know, they think in
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: their parents and they say all, you know, things a
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: kids say, you know, the typical things that a kid
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: might say at a banquet like that. But it was
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: more than that. They were so eloquent and Ed Blair,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: our trainer, came up to me today and said, I've
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: never seen a senior class speak like that, and that's
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: a really rewarding thing as a coach to watch because
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I know that none of them could have done it
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: four years ago. And to watch their maturation process and
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: to see how far they've come as young men, that's
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: really rewarding.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Emotional, I mean, like when they're getting up there.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Any Yeah, some.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Of it was emotional, but it was really heartfelt and yeah,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: and all of their speeches were well thought out. Really
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: it was you know, it was a great day.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: All right, speaking of seniors. Time used to coming up next.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Then later Trey Scott, we'll get to our player interviews.
• 6:26
