Tuesday I got an unexpected email from the President of the minor hockey association I coach in. The association Executive council wants me to start up a PeeWee (ages 11 & 12) rep team. The association does not currently have a rep teams at any age level and is hoping to kick-start the development of the entire rep program with this team. I had a meeting yesterday with the President yesterday and it sounds like they want to really put the effort in to do this in the right way.
I accepted the offer and I have to admit I’m both really excited and a little intimidated by it all. It is definitely a great opportunity and one that I didn’t think I’d get so early in my coaching career.
