The first tourney went well! We learned a lot that can be implemented in future tourneys.
First, a novice division doesn't necessarily mean anything. We should add a few higher level skaters.
Second, 10 skaters is great for a pickup game, but 13-14 may be better for tourneys.
Third, Jeff and I won't both take a team to the same tourney. Too much time at the rink and not enough free time with our teams.
Would love to hear your takeaways from the weekend!
I'm planning on 2 out of town tourneys per year and one local if we can find good options. I'll aim for late August/September for the next traveling one and probably earlier in the summer for the local one.
