Peewee LL1 team moves towards payoffs One of the best compliments a coach can be paid, is through seeing a team improve as the season goes on. It's a measure of hard work by the players and discipline and coaching skills taught the players by the coaches. The Shelburne Wolves Peewee LL1 team is riding on a .500 season so far, with a fourth place standing in a 16 team line-up. “They play as a team – even our weakest guys are out there to win,” said coach Joe McRae. The squad is working toward moving to the first division playoff series. “The start of the year it was all skating,” McRae said of coaching techniques. “Now its plays, different plays – powerplay, penalty kills, that will make the difference in the playoffs. They all know the systems we use. It makes it easier to coach them during a game.” The team has worked hard through the season. They started out at the bottom of the league and through practice and dedication they have made their way up through the standings. “Our weaker players have gotten stronger, that's the biggest improvement. They have really stepped up and improved the game,” McRea said. With a few missing players and a short bench, their Saturday (Jan. 4) game against Stanyer saw the squad battle back and tie it up to end the game at 3–3. Shelburne's Brodie Best scored all three Wolves goals to get the hattrick – an accomplishment for which he shared credit to his teammates for setting him up with the pass. The Peewee LL1 team will finish the season with several road games to end the regular season before finding a berth in the playoffs. By Brian Lockhart
