Description: “My goal is to make your son or daughter better in April than they are in September. I’m not sure how many games we are going to win, but we will be competitive and we will play with the puck as much as possible,” said Ferraro. “I will try to teach as much awareness as possible, so when the puck comes to your kid, they can see what the next play is.”
He acknowledges the emotion in parents watching their kids play and understands what’s involved in the experience, wanting them to do the best they can and enjoy it. When that crosses into getting involved in coaching and undermining the coach’s message, the parent may need to take a step back.
“The parent that gets so emotionally involved that they can only see the small picture is really losing the plot. I’m not saying it’s easy because I know it’s not. Everything feels like it revolves around your child. At the end of it, if you can just take a step back after your child had a bad night, just sit down for five minutes and take stock and go ‘was that really the end of the world or was that one bad day?’”
The FINAL Winter Raffle ticket turn in is tomorrow, Tuesday, January 31, 2023 from 4:30-7:30 p.m. in the Vets 1 lobby.
We prefer one check written to WFHA but understand if you already have payment in other forms. Please be sure you bring all books completed as any tickets you do not sell, you are required to purchase yourself. Families who took additional books to participate in the contest are not required to buyout their extra books but must bring the books and payment for the sold tickets.
GUN RAFFLE: Individuals who are participating in the gun raffle can also turn in books these nights as well but will have more opportunities in the future as that drawing is not until April 2023.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact the Gaming Director, Jason Campbell, at jcampbell@westfargohockey.com or 701-707-2120.
We are excited to announce that we will again be offering the Stampede Summer Academy starting in June and going thru the first week in August. More information will come out in mid-February!
