Right now I am still realing and feeling some of the after effects of the long weekend I spent in Monroe Michigan but it was worth it.... My sons team has not had a stellar start. They have been improving but with over 2/3 of the reg season done they have yet to add a win to the W column.... well the boys headed down with one member shy of a full roster and came back with the gold.... Yep some amazing hockey was witnessed as they took on Westland for a 1-1 tie in the first game. Starting out Sat morning playing the Trenton team in Trenton took a lot of effort because the reffing was very one sided.... and not for the visiting team. The boys effort sent them back down the highway to Monroe with a 4-3 win..... The afternoon had the boys facing the home MOnroe team and the officiating was as expected with numerous one sided calls.... but the boys fought hard again and battled to another 1-1 tie. Sun morning found the boys in the AAA finals sitting in 4th place. They faced a team from their home division, Hamilton, and once again the score at the end of regulation was 1-1..... going into overtime with over 3 min gone one of the defence took it all the way and scored the game winner. The finals later that afternoon were going to be either a blowout or another close game as the boys were forced to settle all afternoon and not get into too much trouble so they would save their energy. It worked and they came out of it a 3-0 win..... We are all sooooooo proud of them..... only 11 goals scored but winners over a 5 game tourney was amazing in itself but the control and defensive game they played was some of the best hockey I have seen in quite some time. Too bad I started feeling not so good on the way home.... made it to my Moms in time but missed work on Mon to curl up and recoup.
BTW..... it was worth it to see Hockeystar so excited and he himself was amazing with 3 goals/ at least 2 assists and a plus 4 for the tourney.
