To everything there is a season.
While it may seem odd to open a blog post with a Bible verse (Ecclesiastes 3:1), it is appropriate. Everything in our world runs in cycles. The four seasons, for example. Winter, spring, summer, and fall. A time to plant and a time to harvest.
The same holds true for hockey teams. They run on cycles, too. There’s a time to build. A time to achieve. A time to tear down. And a time to start over.
On rare occasions a team is able to blend these cycles.
