M.e The Powerplay A story by Jim Mercer (Assistant Coachofthe Port Hope Buzz-ards Tier 2 Juniors) lime is running out. If we dont take advantage of this opportunity, it may be _a lost cause. There is no doubt that we shoulçl be ready for the chal- lenge that lies ahead. Nothing should go wrong. We have nothing to fear, except for our one true con- trollable enemy... .ernotion. Ail we have to do is keep it in perspective. If we are unable to control our emio- tions, the worst can happen. On the other hand, if we slow everything down, be patient and keep it simple, we can make things work, for us and not against. us. in that case anything is possi- ble. The most important thing that we have to remember is to remfain focused. We have to work together or our opponient will not only have the advantage, they'll use it. Yeah but we should have no problem. 1 mean, how can we not execute some- thing that we have gone over time and time again. We have spent countless hours going over the dos and don'ýts of a situation like this. Not only are we pre- pared, but we have been successful many times before. Bottom line. . .it's not our first powerplay.
