Do or have any of you guys taken your team to a ropes course or somthing that is similar in nature to teach team work?
If so why did you do it, was it the fact that the year before the team lacked to ability to work together or did you want to do it to make the team even more closely knit?
I have thought about doing something like this when I get my first HS HC job and have wondered how effective it is?

Yes, in SE Colorado I did that. We ended up as league champs and made it to the state quarterfinals. I wanted to do it because we had taken our teaching staff through the ropes course and had a great experience. I do think it brought our team closer together and developed some leadership. I would do it again if I were closer to a ropes course.

Ok, is there some other types of team building that can be done if this type of thing were not readily available?

I gotta tell ya...during college, first job and then second job and then even in a part time job, every place seems to want to shove that ropes course down your throat. I personally hated it.

well I am not looking at it as far as the staff goes, I am looking at it as a fun, team building exercise for the plalyers, To build a sense of team or build a stronger sense of team than what they have.
