<\/a>The teams change fairly often, says Toombstone, with drafts a couple of times a year.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople\u2019s circumstances in life change, too. There\u2019s often a lot of changes on the teams,\u201d she says. \u201cSince I\u2019ve been there, there\u2019s a huge turnover of people and there\u2019s also been some consistency as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
The consistency is great to have, says Toombstone, adding that part of her job as one of the three team captains is to work with players of all skill levels.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do have some very high-level players and we also have some new rookies on the team,\u201d she says, \u201cso we just have to make sure that we\u2019re meeting the needs of both the vets who have been around for a long time and who are meaning to advance their skils, and also making sure that we are insuring that the rookies are getting the development that they need around their skating and their skills.\u201d<\/p>\n
As captain, part of Toombstone\u2019s job is mentoring new players; she says it\u2019s good for the veterans to be able to practice mentoring.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe might know the skills and we might have played quite a bit, but we don\u2019t necessarily know how to explain them or how to teach them, so it can be really good to help build our confidence in the actual knowledge of the game,\u201d says Toombstone.<\/p>\n
