After playing the first six games of the winter regular season the Renegades sit firmly in last place with a record of 1 win and 5 losses. There are nine teams in our Division 7, and we are in 9th place. That said we are only one win out of fifth place, so needless to say a few of the other teams aren't doing that well either.
With all the travels and events that I have been involved in lately, I only managed to make it out to two of our first six games. I missed two games while I was in Utah, one while I was away in Jasper, and one for the Monochrome Guild photo exhibition. As the oldest and one of the slowest players on the team, my absence probably didn't make much difference to the on ice result. But, I also wasn't able to be as involved as usual in getting the roster together, and making sure that we had enough spares out to fill roster spots that were open, and setting the lines. Now that I can focus more attention on managing the team, hopefully thing will improve.
The guys are beginning to get a little frustrated, and are making mistakes on the ice that are costing us. We need to bear down and refocus and get back to a simple brand of hockey. We have a chance to get out and play a pick-up game against a team from another league on Wednesday night. This will give us a chance to work on our game and hopefully be better prepared for our next league game on Friday night. After the Friday game the next block of our schedule will be released and we may see some divisional moves. I doubt that our team is likely to be moved down to a lower division, but it is possible that one or more of the top teams in our division could get moved up. That might level things out a bit as all of our games but one have been close.
