The following is in Nova Scotia You eighteen Major Hockey
2
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:08.279
League Intermission interview.
3
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.080
Welcome back to the Halifax Forum. Two periods in the books,
4
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.880
the home side Halifax Max leading the South Shore Mustangs
5
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:17.480
by a score of seven.
6
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:17.839
Nothing.
7
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:19.960
Really pleased to be joined by the head coach of
8
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:23.000
the South Shore Mustangs, Kegan What first of all, coach,
9
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:25.559
not where you want to be after forty minutes, but
10
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.359
just your thoughts on the first two periods.
11
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.280
You know, coming in playing a very good team here tonight.
12
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.159
Right, they execute their systems well, compete, play both sides
13
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:37.479
of the puck, very strong.
14
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.039
Older team. You know, they're built for built for a run.
15
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:42.520
So you know, we're a bit younger on the younger
16
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.759
side of things, and so we're still you know, still
17
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:45.920
figuring ourselves.
18
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.679
Out, and you know, we'll keep going here in the
19
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:50.119
third and see where it leaves us.
20
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:53.759
Obviously, you want to focus on your team and what
21
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.439
your team can do better. But I'll hear coaches and
22
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.439
players say all the time that they can learn things
23
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.960
by playing a tough, hard to play against experienced squad.
24
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:07.000
What are some things that you can take away from
25
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:09.879
playing this Max team? And kind of maybe work into
26
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.560
the training habits of your side, the.
27
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.319
Compete level right when it takes to play in this league,
28
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.239
the decision making, how quick you need to make.
29
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.040
Plays, you know you need to be you need to be.
30
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.359
Making plays on our toes and trying to advance pucks, right,
31
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:25.439
And that's our message, right.
32
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:26.519
We just got advance.
33
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.719
Pucks through zones and hopefully that leads to some success
34
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:31.760
in the ozone.
35
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.680
From the bench over there as coach, you may have
36
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:36.799
a different view, but from my seat up here calling
37
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:38.879
the game, I thought it was actually a much better
38
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.599
period for you guys in period two. What was the
39
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.480
difference between period one and period two in terms of
40
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.719
time of possession and ozone time?
41
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:51.120
I think it's just a little more confidence.
42
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:51.480
Right.
43
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:54.879
We played these guys, you know, last time we were.
44
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:57.959
Here, we had not a great first period, and that
45
00:01:58.079 --> 00:01:59.719
was a big message, right, we had to have a
46
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.040
good start and we didn't really execute that side of it.
47
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.319
So win him, you know, reset, hit the reset button
48
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.000
and get the boys a boost. And I thought we
49
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.240
had a really good second period, and then we'll reset
50
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.240
here for the for the third and give them the
51
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:14.120
best effort we could.
52
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.680
Yeah, one period at a time, right and score. Aside
53
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.719
I commented during the broadcast, how well your goaltender Rider
54
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.719
Patterson has played. It would probably be a much bigger
55
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.919
score for the Max if not for some of the
56
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.000
ten bell saves from your goaltender Rider Patterson. What does
57
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.400
it say to you, as his coach, when you see
58
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.560
a guy like that battling regardless of the score.
59
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.199
Well, Petty, Patty's a he's a competitor, right, He's really
60
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:42.599
starting to figure himself.
61
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:43.080
Out in this league.
62
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.960
You know, we went with two fifteen year old goaltenders
63
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.319
this year, and we knew we were going to take
64
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.159
some lumps at times because it's a tough league, tough
65
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.319
league to come into, let alone be a fifteen year
66
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.879
old goaltender facing you know, for these guys, they got
67
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:01.560
a good, older chunk guy. So but no, Patty, Patty's
68
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.360
going to be the backbone him and Fraught and both
69
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.199
will be the backbone of this club for years to come.
70
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:07.960
And we're over the moon about that.
71
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.599
Goaltenders can be known for having you know, great blocker,
72
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:16.439
great glove, great lower half. You know, pad saves. Tonight,
73
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.439
Ryder Patterson has made some great Pad saves. A couple
74
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.120
off of his toe. When you watch him in practice,
75
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:26.080
is he kind of one? I call him a Marc
76
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.120
Andre flurry style from the waist down, just super quick
77
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.680
and super fast. But when you watch him in practice,
78
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.479
what kind of things shine in his game?
79
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.120
What shines for him is bucks down low for him? Right?
80
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.879
You know how he can control a puck, put it
81
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:42.919
into a corner, put it out, put it out of
82
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:44.680
the danger zone. Right, And that's all we ask of
83
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.000
our goalies, right, make the safe, put a puck into
84
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.599
a low risk area. That way we can recover a
85
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.360
puck and then we can advance it and go to
86
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:52.000
the next zone.
87
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:52.240
Right.
88
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.199
So they're they've been doing that for us pretty consistent,
89
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.919
and that we just got to help him out on
90
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:57.719
the other side of the puck.
91
00:03:58.280 --> 00:03:59.560
We'll get you out of here in just a second.
92
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.759
But I should ask you as well about your leading goalscorer,
93
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.240
Carter Main. What is he brought to the club this year.
94
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.159
It's been a good leadership year for Carter over the
95
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.960
last few years, getting to see Carter develop into the
96
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:12.800
player and this person he is today.
97
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.919
Carter, you know, brings out a good leadership role for.
98
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.279
Us and and a little bit of offensive touch and
99
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:20.600
at the end of the day, he's a great kid.
100
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:22.879
Your team is coming back on the ice. I should
101
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:24.560
let you go, but quickly, what do you want to
102
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.879
see from your guys in the third compete?
103
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.160
Let's compete right to the right to the end of it.
104
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.040
Right, no, no quit in our group, and that'll be
105
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:33.759
a good step forward for the weekend.
106
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.680
Listen, we really appreciate your time coming over and wish
107
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:38.519
you well in the third period and of course the
108
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:39.240
rest of the season.
109
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:40.160
Thank you very much.
110
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.399

playing this Max team? And kind of maybe work into

the training habits of your side, the.

00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:18.680
Yeah, one period at a time, right and score. Aside
53
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:22.719
I commented during the broadcast, how well your goaltender Rider
54
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.719
Patterson has played. It would probably be a much bigger
55
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.919
score for the Max if not for some of the
56
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:32.000
ten bell saves from your goaltender Rider Patterson. What does
57
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.400
it say to you, as his coach, when you see
58
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.560
a guy like that battling regardless of the score.
59
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.199
Well, Petty, Patty's a he's a competitor, right, He's really
60
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:42.599
starting to figure himself.
61
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:43.080
Out in this league.
62
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.960
You know, we went with two fifteen year old goaltenders
63
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:48.319
this year, and we knew we were going to take
64
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.159
some lumps at times because it's a tough league, tough
65
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.319
league to come into, let alone be a fifteen year
66
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.879
old goaltender facing you know, for these guys, they got
67
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:01.560
a good, older chunk guy. So but no, Patty, Patty's
68
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.360
going to be the backbone him and Fraught and both
69
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.199
will be the backbone of this club for years to come.
70
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:07.960
And we're over the moon about that.
71
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.599
Goaltenders can be known for having you know, great blocker,
72
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:16.439
great glove, great lower half. You know, pad saves. Tonight,
73
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:21.439
Ryder Patterson has made some great Pad saves. A couple
74
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.120
off of his toe. When you watch him in practice,
75
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:26.080
is he kind of one? I call him a Marc
76
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.120
Andre flurry style from the waist down, just super quick
77
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.680
and super fast. But when you watch him in practice,
78
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:33.479
what kind of things shine in his game?
79
00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:38.120
What shines for him is bucks down low for him? Right?
80
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.879
You know how he can control a puck, put it
81
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:42.919
into a corner, put it out, put it out of
82
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:44.680
the danger zone. Right, And that's all we ask of
83
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.000
our goalies, right, make the safe, put a puck into
84
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.599
a low risk area. That way we can recover a
85
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.360
puck and then we can advance it and go to
86
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:52.000
the next zone.
87
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:52.240
Right.
88
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.199
So they're they've been doing that for us pretty consistent,
89
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:56.919
and that we just got to help him out on
90
00:03:56.960 --> 00:03:57.719
the other side of the puck.
91
00:03:58.280 --> 00:03:59.560
We'll get you out of here in just a second.
92
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:01.759
But I should ask you as well about your leading goalscorer,
93
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.240
Carter Main. What is he brought to the club this year.
94
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.159
It's been a good leadership year for Carter over the
95
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.960
last few years, getting to see Carter develop into the
96
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:12.800
player and this person he is today.
97
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:15.919
Carter, you know, brings out a good leadership role for.
98
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.279
Us and and a little bit of offensive touch and
99
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:20.600
at the end of the day, he's a great kid.
100
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:22.879
Your team is coming back on the ice. I should
101
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:24.560
let you go, but quickly, what do you want to
102
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:26.879
see from your guys in the third compete?
103
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.160
Let's compete right to the right to the end of it.
104
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.040
Right, no, no quit in our group, and that'll be
105
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:33.759
a good step forward for the weekend.
106
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.680
Listen, we really appreciate your time coming over and wish
107
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:38.519
you well in the third period and of course the
108
