It’s only a matter of time before someone makes a Miracle on Ice type movie about Calgary’s Glenlake Hawks Pee Wee team and their animated head coach.
In a rematch against a team they lost 8-1 to three days earlier, coach Josh Rahme knew his team needed to be ready to play in the Calgary city championship game. So he made sure, by asking his starting lineup – one by one.
His players clearly responded, getting fired up for the big game.
This is how to get ready:

The coaching tactic worked, as Glenlake took the game 4-3, winning in a shootout.

And to top it off? The team ran into Anaheim Ducks captain Ryan Getzlaf while celebrating their big win.
