Nothing wrong with shedding some tears.
I have had a few moments in my life where I couldn't stop from doing it. I checked and I still got my man card.

Gotta love sport, brings sooooo many people together... Tears are always allowed in cases like this...

My peewees won 2-0 last night to the worse team in the league. They had 2 shots on our net. We should have won 15-0. They played like poop. Oh well a W is a W

Forgot to mention EJ as the skates you posted they are all not the super light skates.
For bauer go pick up the supreme one, easton the s17, s15, ccm u+cl. With those you will feel the weight difference. That said I think the vapor is still the most used skate in the nhl.

Ordered the G5's today at the request of the Little Man..... We talked a little last night about trying something new, the information that some of the other skates may be a little lighter on his foot ect. He said something to the effect that he knows what the G5's are on his feet and that is what he wants.

About to head to the rink.... Big game against a rival.... LM is a bit grumpy.....think he gets that from me....

(4 beers and a Shark in....hope the photos are not effected....

Big game! Good luck

Solid game, 4-0 win.

Micah kept his goal streak alive for the 4th game.
He got tripped from behind on a breakaway and was awarded a penalty shot and buried it. I was griping as it was his last shift.

Great article!

My peewee kids are in a darn slump, but winning... Our forwards have hit such a dry patch, but thank god our defense are scoring. Over the last week we have faced the 3 worst teams in the league, only to win 3-0, 2-0, 2-0. We are the highest scoring team as well so these were a bit disappointing. And of those 7 goals, 5 came from a D. Last night to send a message to our forwards, we started the 3rd period with 5 D. Yup, they scored a goal. Oh well, the great teams are the ones who get through slumps while still winning! 13-2-2 at the half way mark is alright with me!

Can't complain too much about 3 straight shutouts....

Our boys made it to the final of the Mid American Silver Sticks, Peewee AA but fell short.

They had jumped up to #15 on 98rankings.com but I suspect the 2 losses (1 to a higher ranked team, 1 to a lower ranked team) this weekend may drop them a bit.

Ahbroody · 12-13-2010, 09:36 AM

Tough break Scott. Sorry to hear.

EJ I was behind the net and forgot to record his penalty shot. Dad fail moment.

Your telling me I was sitting there and all ofa sudden as he puts the puck on the ice I think SHIZ. I grab my phone, but to slow. I was actually really disapointed. Now I got to hope he gets another this year.

Scott the league here has a ton of policies, but not sure if any are actually enforced.

Eleven · 12-13-2010, 02:53 PM

Anyone ever seen "The Tournament"? I swear we have moments like those all the time...Parents who are like some of those in the series, situations, etc etc. I think I need to rewatch em again!

Ahbroody · 12-14-2010, 12:23 AM

Friggin stupid. They make all kids play goal at this age atleast once. This week its Micahs turn. Practice was ugly to put it nicely.

. Hes a screen door. Its going to be the same as last year. By the end of the game he will be frustrated, upset, and not want to play goalie.
