Denver[edit]

  • Coach Tierney said his 2015 scout team was the most talented scout team Denver ever has had[1]
  • Will actively rotate first offensive set between attack and midfield
  • Berg said Denver has close to 70-80 plays, if include man-up[2]
  • There will be main sets, but Denver will change the sets for specific teams
  • Tierney says Canadian kids on his roster come back from the summer banged up after competing for annual Minto Cup
  • Brown in a Feb. 2015 article: "If a team doesn't want to slide and is slow to go, then you probably want to play in the middle of the field. You have a better angle to turn the corner and get your hands free. It might be more of a dodge-to-score day than a ball-movement and assisted goal day."[3]
