Let me know how the tron stick plays. Been looking at grabbing one just to fug with. People say its made by a large manufacturer just rebadged. Mid upper level sticks usually. Got a monkey order coming today. Suprisingly they had everything in stock. Normally they are horrible. Apparently its also arriving today. For instate they are using a small carrier instead of UPS as they take 5-7 days even on instate stuff.

Use that metal stick to snap someone's composite if they go game 7.

so we live across the street from the school. The delivery company delivered our package of hockey gear to the school.

today Micah worked on transitions and some body position concepts after school on blades for over an hour in the garage, then went to ice practice, got home and he wanted to work on transitions and one timers in the garage. Had to force him out of the Garage to get ready for bed. Had to promise we would work on stuff tomorrow, He has the ice jamboree this weekend on Fri and Sat, and the roller tourney on Sunday and he is showing a lot of drive to try to be the best he can. Its cute to hear him talk about this weekend.

So far so good. I heard a few guys talking about them yesterday, the pro guys at roller are sponsered by them. One of them said they have been snapping like twigs. I'm two games in, and it looks like I have had it a lot longer.

I think I'll use the Aluminum one to keep my hood open...

I have been using the Tron basic goalie stick to play in an over 50 league. The stick is heavy but I like that because it has a very controlled flex which is nice when trying to control a stick save. I have had a couple shatter when hit with a very heavy slap shot or one timer. I want to try their chest protectors and leg pads, both need to be replaced and Tron seems to have very nice pricing and shipping costs. It is kind of funny that California seems to have more hockey super stores than the home of hockey in New England. The Tron sticks remind me of Koho sticks if that helps on the rebadging. Both are heavy, very well made and very flex controlled.

The hockey weekend from hell ended at about 4pm today.

Today micah played Jesus on the inhouse team put together for the norcal cup roller tourney. They lost the championship 9-2. Micah had a goal and the assist on the second goal in the championship. They got smoked. Was proud of him. He knew they were going to lose and killed himself trying to keep the game competitive. The kids got to win some games and had a great time. I was proud he played a part in making kids have a good time and win. There were some big smiles out there.

Ice hockey mite jamboree Friday and Saturday. The team won the jamboree against the Stockton team mentioned before. Micah scored 3 of his teams 9 goals and had a few assists in the championship game per my dad who was there. Put the puck in the net a lot in the last 3 days.

Will see if any of the pictures from ice turned out okay.
