day 3185: The Beginning of The Neverending Hockey Season.
normally at this time of year, we’re closing out another fun hockey season. the last games are played and the ice is melted at our community arena and we enjoy a few weekends with nothing much to do as the weather warms and spring sets in. but this year, odin has been enjoying hockey so [...]
day 3175: the annual kids versus parents hockey game!
it’s the end of another hockey season, which means it’s time for the annual kids versus parents hockey game! which is really an opportunity for the kids to skate circles around the parents while trying not to crush us too badly. and an opportunity for the parents to try not to crush the kids, literally [...]
day 3143: and yet, even still more hockey!
it occurred to me while sitting in an hockey arena for the umpteenth game watching odin doing a fine job building his skills as defenseman – does hockey have the longest season of all the sports? or does it just seem like it because you’re sitting in the cold? turns out, it just seems that [...]
day 3130: scenes from the altoona hockey tournament!
odin’s team played 3 games in altoona, wisconsin this weekend. they had a great time bonding by the pool at the hotel and playing against some great area teams on the ice. odin’s team is still quite young with many 7 and young 8 year olds on their “squirt b” so they will often struggle [...]
day 3127: first goalie practice!
in all the years odin has been playing hockey he has yet to play goalie in a game, but since getting moved up to the “squirts” he’s known he was going to have to play the position since the coaches like everyone to rotate around to get a feel for what they might like to [...]
day 3074: a doubleheader in onalaska!
coming off their exciting first tie game in black river falls, odin’s hockey team played a doubleheader in onalaska, wisconsin today. if you’ve ever skated up and down “full ice” a few times, you might have a sense of how exhausting two games can be so a doubleheader is a good way to see how [...]
day 3067: odin’s first game as a squirt!
after making the cut to move up to the squirts and a a few practices running plays odin and his new teammates played their first game today against black river falls. and whooboy, what a game! viroqua played well through the first two periods and maintained a commanding 4-1 lead. they looked awesome for their [...]
day 3061: running plays with the squirts!
remember that hockey test test to see if odin had the skills to move up to the squirts? well, he made the cut! so, now he’s practicing with older 9 and 10 year old kids and they actually practice running plays on his new team ( the 8-9 year old mites mainly concentrated on skating [...]
day 3052: learning to skate to where the puck will be.
simple advice from wayne gretzky that requires looooooots of practice to follow.
day 3050: a hockey test.
we weren’t the only ones to notice odin’s improved skating skills. his hockey coach called and asked him to try out to move up to next level. he’s in the mites which is the level for 7-8 year olds but i guess they’re short a few players on the squirts team which is for 9-10 [...]
