This season marks Black Sheep’s return to the third division after a year-long absence. The initial matches were challenging, with the team displaying a lot of effort but also making numerous unnecessary mistakes and experiencing frequent puck losses—a frustrating way to lose. However, the most recent match ended in a victory, highlighting that the team is learning from past errors and gradually improving.
Throughout the early part of the season, Black Sheep faced difficulties in finding its rhythm. Despite the high level of commitment and determination on the ice, the mistakes and puck turnovers were costly. Each game, however, provided valuable learning opportunities, and the team diligently worked to correct its errors. This process of learning and adaptation has started to bear fruit, as evidenced by the recent win.
Training sessions have been strategically designed to mimic game situations, with a focus on high intensity and commitment. This approach aims to ensure that the team can quickly adapt to the demands of the short and fast-paced season. The victory in the last match has instilled hope and confidence in the team, suggesting that we are on the right track.
Looking ahead, the next match is scheduled for this coming weekend—a home game against the Icehawks from Eindhoven. The team is rigorously preparing for this crucial game, aiming to build on the momentum from the recent victory.
This season has also seen some changes in the team roster. Several new members have joined, and two former members have rejoined, bringing fresh energy and dynamics to the team. Unfortunately, one member has left. Additionally, some roles on the ice and in the bench have been adjusted to create more clarity and oversight. These changes are expected to enhance the team’s performance and cohesion.

As we continue the season, our focus remains on improving our performance and building on the positive momentum. The lessons learned from the early challenges and the confidence gained from the recent success have positioned Black Sheep to take on the remainder of the season with determination and grit. The journey is just beginning, and there is much to look forward to.
Let’s keep pushing forward, Black Sheep! The best is yet to come.
