Hockey Tournament

This weekend was the 61st annual Young Canada Pee Wee tournament. Our girls played Friday night, they lost 6-4 but played a great game. They were goal for goal right up to the end of the game. The other team found some sweet spots and got a couple goals on us. The girls had a blast and were very excited because the team they played is one of the best in our league.

Saturday we were back down at the tournament at noon for our 2nd game. The girls played another great game against a team that was VERY physical! We stayed ahead right up to the very end of the game where we got 2 bad calls against us and had 2 girls in the box. That left the other team with the opportunity to tie up the game. The score was 2-2.

After the game the majority of the team went 5 pin bowling. Matt, Kaitlyn and myself had never been before. Grace got to bowl last weekend. I have to say it is ALOT harder than 10 pin bowling that we are used to but it was SO much fun! It was a great way to kill the 4 hours between the two games on Saturday and lots of fun to see the team having fun together outside of hockey.

We were all back to the arena for our 5:50 game. The girls were a bit tired but ready to get out there and getter done! They played a great game but just couldn't get the puck in the net. They lost 3-0.

In the end it was a great 3 games and they did much better than last year, they didn't score at all last year. We are so proud of our girls and what they brought to the ice this weekend. Today we are giving them all a break from hockey but will be back at it on Wednesday. We only have 2 weeks left and hockey season is over. Matt and I are having mixed emotions over this. We love hockey and being apart of this wonderful team of awesome girls. But we are also ready to be done.
