But then, yeah, I feel like as a player, you're not really like...

obviously stuff happens and sometimes coaches change, but you don't want to, like, at least for me, I don't try to think about that much, like that stuff too much and, and just try to, you know, focus on what I can do and, and, and kind of what I can control.

But, but it's, yeah, I think it's, it's great to have, have many as a coach and, and it's nice to, you know, when you get a new coach, I already, you know, have an idea on how he coaches and kind of,

His X's and O's and just knowing him as a person, I think it's great that there's not going to be that much change for next year, obviously, even though there is change.

Yeah, he was definitely very involved whenever we worked on draws, and he was either dropping pucks or looking at the centers and kind of giving up pointers.

I do remember a couple times he went in the dot.

I can't remember if we were going full on or whatnot, but...

I remember a lot of guys we were talking about when he would set up to show some pointers, we were like, damn, he's still got it.

He'd set up real low and it looked like he hadn't missed a day.

Yeah, very, I think.

I mean, it doesn't matter which team, old or young or whatever.

I think it's really important.

I think for, like, as a player, I feel like that's... I feel like everything is so much about confidence and how comfortable you are in whatever environment.

So I think that's a huge thing for that.

Even...

even if you would be a player who's not maybe playing the role that they want to, at least you really do know what your role is and what is expected.

And I feel like that's as optimal as it can be for your performance to know what's expected and know what you need to do and for yourself to game plan as well and what you're working on on the ice so that everything is pointed out at the...

what it needs to be and kind of your style that you can be.

Yeah, I think obviously last year we had a really long playoff run with Abby and had kind of a short summer.

I started the summer kind of rehabbing my injury from the playoffs.
