Well the roller went beyond well. They lost 1 game all weekend. The loss was to Anarchy 949 which is a team composed largely of jr kings ice hockey players. They played that team in the championship game and won 5-4. Winning the 8U division. This was an AAU jr. Olympics qualifier in Corona. M didnt do much had an assist or 2. His big moment came when he absolutely destroyed a kid who cut from the wing towards the net while looking backwards. He turned into Ms path as he was coming down as a center for support. He saw the kid but didnt alter his path. Ended up just drilling the kid and getting away with it. Kid was down for about 2 minutes crying. It really seemed to affect their team. They took a bad pematy afterwards which resulted in a goal.

Ice has been horrible. We ended up having to switch most of our D to forwards because they are useless. Our forwards were spending most the game back checking anyway. They are in 6th out of 8 teams and play a consolation game in the AM. Then home.

Giving him a restfrom hockey for a few weeks when we get back.
