Booster club meeting with Mike Yeo

The booster Club meeting that went on yesterday at Texas Land and Cattle was very informative.   Mike Yeo explained his background as a Player and Coach.  He says that it is his goal to be a NHL coach one day and his goals for getting there include winning the Calder cup.  He plans on getting to the NHL coach position as soon as possible however he feels that that may be 5 years down the road with the Aeros.  He was explaining how his coaching abilities have helped the team to win the pre-season game.  He explains that unlike previous coaching staffs, he doesn't only coach one sections such as defence.  All three coaches drill and work all sections of the team.  This way what ever he or another assistant coach doesn't see another one will pick up on.  He seemed very out going and easy to talk to.  He would explain each question asked with great detail and answer each question with care.  He says he has been working on the power play teams and from the game in Austin the other night it seems to be working, as they are 100% for power play goals.  Yeo also explained that he feels the team needs to act like a "wolf pack" giving the impression on other teams of you mess with one player on the ice the other four will follow suit and back up the offended player.  He had a very optimistic approach to this years season saying "By the time we get to home opener we are going to be 2-0 working on 3-0"  Over all the meeting was very educational and a great start to the new hockey season.
