A good warm-up for next weekend finals!
We had an opportunity for a warm-up game against Orange, our opponents next weekend. Although both teams were short handed and the kids had a lot of ice time, both teams played with high intensity and the game had a lot of action. We had numerous chances and spent most of the time in Orange's end. Today we mixed up the lines giving our defense an opportunity to play up and three of our regular forwards a chance to play defense. Today's scorers were Max with two, Jacob, Lexi and Spaghetti with one each. William had two assists and Adam had one. Good job today! On defense it was nice to see Keaton and Dalton stopping a lot of forward momentum by Orange. Great defense guys! As usual Josh was strong in net keeping the score low!
With Nate playing for the Orange team, he had many opportunities and helped keep the game close until we pulled away at the end of the third.
Other Notes:
Sunday practice is at 10:30 [Josh in net - Rink A].
Next Saturday we are in the consolation finals against Orange. Game is at 8:30 Rink A - Josh in net.
Next Sunday we play the second game of the consolation against Orange. Game is at 9:30 Rink B - Josh in net.
We are winding down our year and it has been great watching the kids progress. The coaches have had a lot of fun seeing the kids each week and I know we will all miss hockey when the season is over! The kids have been a pleasure to coach and I appreciate the chance to get to know them and the parents! I hope the kids had fun and I hope to see them all continuing in hockey next year.
I appreciate your commitment this year.
Coach Bob
