98E Gaining Momentum v. Valley Warriors / U15 TIER 1 - SPLIT

Monday, October 1, 2012, 9:40PM
The 98 Elites traveled to Haverhill looking for their first win in League play after a disappointing start and took on the undefeated first place Warriors. They left Haverhill with a convincing 3-0 win and more than that with some ever increasing confidence. Zach Laramie pitched the shut-out but was not called on often in this one but was up to task when he was. Kyle Lynch got the visitors on the board with a power play goal off a beautiful back door pass from Brandon Lafata, Kyle Hentosh also picked up an assist. Ross Wahl made it 2-0 as he picked off a pass in the neutral zone and went in alone to double the lead. Braden Haley got some insurance int he third as he fired a wrister through a screen for the 3-0 lead and win. The Vipers played a strong 3 zone game on their way to the win and have hopefully started to play with some more consistency

U16Vipers-Elite Team Building – Team Pyramid Of Success 2012 / U16 SULLIVAN - TIER 1

Tuesday, September 4, 2012, 5:24PM

The Greater Boston Viper U16 coaching staff determined that this year they were going to implement a “NEW PROCESS” when developing the overall season outline.

The decision was to incorporate the “TEAM MEMBERS” into the creation and overall development process of the upcoming season outline. The players willingly embraced this concept and quickly recognized the importance of a structurally designed program and all aspects that come into play when determining the final overall outline. This experiment was completed and implemented during a weekend team building camp and the debate and dialogue was very educational for all parents, coaches and players on hand. The mutual conclusion was that when given the opportunity to have your voice heard and play an avid role in the development of a process that ownership and accountability will now be adopted in order to make this season a productive beneficial season for all involved.
