Teams also have to learn how to win...especially win close games.  That's what we are going through now.  Last year, our 14-18 record included countless games in which we tanked.  We had no confidence, and we gave up pretty early in the game.  I don't normally turn the game off early in the second period, but last year much of it was unwatchable, and I did leave early... and leave disgusted.

This year we are competing.  As Ray said above, we've played 9 games in which we competed and pushed hard to win and against teams that are actually better than we are.  Those games would have been blowouts last year.  They are learning what it's like to be in close games and learning what to do in order to actually win some of them.

That's the biggest takeaway from this season.  As they begin to win a few of these, the confidence will grow and they'll win more.  Unfortunately, that won't happen this season; but the Freshmen and Sophs will experience it.
