Starting this coming week, rookie training scrimmages will begin again.
The schedule at this time will be Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5pm and Sundays at 9am. The scrimmages will be a shortened game time length with focus on GOHA rules, learning to manipulate the controls, etc. Vets are welcome to attend and participate but may not play offensive position (running up scores) and must be present with intention of assisting rookies in learning process.
Katia Ixtab and I will be managing this process. Captains have been asked to assign 1-2 persons from their teams to be rookie scouts. For upcoming seasons, we're going to initiate a process where the rookie scouts have an active hand in determining which rookies they will try to obtain for their teams, therefore encouraging active participation in the new player process and appropriate placements. I'll be telling you more on this down the road, in the meantime we'll be doing some trial and error testing on the process so if captains can do the assignments and provide me the names of their scouts for the remainder of this season. The scouts can be anyone: captain themselves, assistant captain or team member. The rookie scouts will be able to attend Farm sessions, assist with training, and discuss potential rookie candidates with their team captain.
Katia and I will be monitoring attendance, number of games played, progress, and communicating with Vivienne and Tuvok on team needs. Captains should continue to communicate needs w Viv and Tuvok at meetings. We have some nice things in place on Dyz' site that will also assist with organization, too.
Time to get a'training again!  |

| Hello my name is Grover Jefferson and I joined GOHA about a week ago. I'm a former ice hockey goalie in real life and started playing a few rookie scrimmages as a goaltender here in SL. Hoping that someday I will make it on a team roster and will continue playing more scrimmages and getting more training while in the league. So far everyone has been very helpful to me and thankful that we have real time hockey on SL. Keep up the good work, thanks. G. Jefferson. |
