Western/Windsor weekend

We had one of the hardest road trips you can have this weekend. Playing Friday night in London against Western and then travelling to Windsor to play the next night against Windsor. This was follwed by the 8 and half hour drive back home to Ottawa. We did some good things and bad things this weekend. We really seemed to struggle in transition until the second half of the Windsor game and didn't seem to be comfortable offensively most of the weekend. But to come out with 2 wins against two very good teams is definitely a positive. We are still very vulnerable, but the guys are playing hard and trying to play together, so from that perspective it was very positive. It's only November so wins and losses don't really mean very much, it is more about improvement. Hopefully we are moving in the right direction in that respect. This weekend sets up to be another tough weekend as McMaster and Lakehead come to Ottawa. Both teams present problems for us and we will need to do a good job at the defensive end to get the tempo where we want it. Both teams have been playing very well with MAC having won 3 in a row and Lakehead 5 in a row. Hopefully we can find a way to slow them down a bit and put ourselves in a position to win. I'm pretty happy with our effort level so far, unfortunately we don't execute very well, which is obviously a product of some questionable coaching. Hopefully I can find a way to better communicate the things we need to do to be successful. These two teams will test us.
