Holy Moly!

To quote Mickey Redman...Holy Moly! We came to Niagara Falls this weekend for a hockey tournament. We came planning on playing Canadian teams, and sure that it was going to be really tough. They get more ice time, they have more practices, it only seemed logical after we lost all of our games at last weekends tournament. But BOY were we WRONG!
The first game we were in our defensive zone for a solid 3 minutes, unable to clear the puck. Then they got it out and look out the goals started. They weren't easy, they had to fight for most of them and really play strong. Just the same the team scored 4 unanswered goals. We won the game, and moved on to the second game.
Again, thinking this is going to be tough. And it really was. Again, the boys played hard. Zach got a shot at a break away, made his way down the ice and took the shot. It hit the goalie in the pads and rebounded right to him. Then he shot it top shelf and Bam we were up 1-0. We won the game with that score and now we are waiting for tomorrow's game to see if we will be staying in Niagara until the Championship game on Sunday.
WOW! Way to go boys!
