2nd Place!

We just played in our final tournament of the year. We were playing for 1st place and were down 1-0 with 59 seconds left on the clock. Scramble, Scramble...puck goes in...NO GOAL. The referee had blown the whistle by mistake, yes mistake, he apologized after the game. It's the second time this year that we ended up losing a game because of a bad call.

I have taught my kids that the referee is the one who calls the game. They are human and mistakes happen. Sometimes you're on the receiving end of that bad call and it is what it is. Sucky lesson but a lesson none the less.

I am proud of them for going hard and not giving up. Here they are, very tired with their 2nd place trophy. Congratulations boys!!
