Great Idea

Coach Mumm shared something he got from the University of Wisconsin hockey coach. Wisconsin's coach had his players place the names of the people they are thinking about as they take the ice on a piece of paper. Then he taped them to the helmet to illustrate all the people they were playing for.

Mummer, when he coached the out-state team against the metro team a few years ago in the state's all star game (Mumm's out-state team clobbered the metro team), used the same idea. He had his all-stars come up with a name on a piece of tape. In front of the team, they came up and taped the name to the helmet and then explained to the team why they chose this person. There wasn't a dry eye in the place when it was done.

That's powerful.

Then a few years ago when TRF was headed to the playoffs, he used the same idea to rally the team and catapult them to state.
