A SPECIAL THANKS
I want to say thank you to Igor Larionov for allowing me the
opportunity to work with some of the best minds in hockey during the “Igor
Larionovs Road to Success” camp. Being
able to work with some of the best upcoming talent from the NHL, KHL, AHL, and
OHL was a very eye opening experience for myself and learned a lot from it.
Your hospitality was very much appreciated and I look forward to the next one.
I also wanted to say thanks to the following for making these past 10 days such a great time and experience: Daryl Belfrey (L.A Kings), Jim Bedard
(Red Wings), Mark Packwood (Goalie Coach), Mike Hamilton (Ice Haws and Honey baked Hockey), Andy Paquette (Power Tech Hockey), Kirill Chikin(on ice hockey coach), and Philip Arzamazov (My Training Assistant). Thanks Guys and look forward to next year!
DAILY CUP OF JOE: FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE
So far the experience in Russia has been good. We have
gotten great responses from the kids we have been training, so the program we
are doing with them is working. The trip started off a bit rough. It was if I
had landed on another planet. From
having no way of charging my electronic equipment to having to buy a phone so I
could call my wife and employees back home. I have had to go to McDonalds every
day because that is the only place we can get a Wi-Fi connection. But, the
training is going really well, an Igor Larionov is happy….which makes me happy.
I stepped in a situation here where a guy (Igor) wants to
put on a great camp and that believes in everything I believe in as far as training
athletes the way that they should be trained. Athletes need to be more mobile
and athletic and all of the guys we have been training have seen their
weaknesses and are working hard to make those weaknesses strengths. We are
training guys from the OHL, KHL, and NHL who are some of the best in their perspective
leagues.
It’s good to know that there are guys out there that want to
get better and will work hard in doing so. It makes my job a lot easier.

MIDGET MINORS CAPTURE NATIONAL TITLE
By Lindsay Fetzner Special to USAHockey.com HoneyBaked and Shattuck-St. Mary’s went head-to-head in the final game of the USA Hockey 16-Under Tier I boys National Championships on Sunday in Simsbury, Conn. HoneyBaked used three goals in the third period to earn a 3-2 come-from-behind victory to successfully defend their national title. “I couldn’t be more proud of the guys,” HoneyBaked coach Mike Hamilton said. It’s a celebration that came two years in row for HoneyBaked, which beat the LA Selects 3-2 in overtime last season in the final. “These guys won last year,” Hamilton said of the Detroit-based team. “It’s back-to-back. It’ll be a fun bus ride home.” Honeybaked’s march to the title included victories over the Thunder (5-0 in the quarterfinals) and the Pittsburgh Hornets (4-2 in the semifinals). Shattuck led the first two periods. Forward Alex Rodriguez scored the first goal in the first period with 14:02 to play. Forward Mike Louria and defenseman Willie Raskob had the assists. Shattuck’s 1-0 lead held up through a scoreless second period. HoneyBaked forward Evan Allen tied the game in the third period on an assist from defenseman Trevor Hamilton with 13:15 to play. Rodriguez’s goal gave Shattuck a 2-1 lead on an assist from Sean MacTavish with 8:41 left. Forward Tyler Motte scored both the game-tying and game-winning goals in the third period. Forward Jon Pierret assisted on the first goal, and Hamilton set up the second. “It was an intense back and forth,” Pierret said. Pierret was part of the team that took home the win last year against the LA Selects. But, Pierret said, “This one’s sweeter.” He described the overall experience in the tournament and the eventual win as “unreal.” As Adam Ulfsax’s father Mike waiting for his son to come out of the HoneyBaked locker room, the Michigan resident shared the pride he had for his son being part of the victorious team. “It has been a long, rewarding season,” Ulfsax said. “It’s been one heck of a ride.” Shattuck coach Christian Bragnalo said despite the loss, he was proud of his team’s performance and gave credit to Honeybaked for their win. “I thought we had a great week of hockey,” Bagnalo said. “Our boys played well and I am very proud of them. We lost to the better hockey team.” Story courtesy of Red Line Editorial, Inc.
