51/365. hockey tournament weekend in waupaca, wisconsin.
the hotel entrance sign doesn’t specify floor hockey sticks, so they must be fair game #probablynot
first game is tomorrow morning at 7:45am. ugh ( you have to be at the arena an hour early ).
45/365. my continuing adventures in youth hockey sports journalism.
another photo and article published in the local paper!
38/365. heading to state hockey championships!
odin’s hockey team has best record in their league and now they’re headed to state championships after beating sparta 7-2 in “playdowns”. here’s a nice shot of one of the viroqua thunder players, after receiving well placed pass from the player in the background, getting the puck past two defenders to score a goal. in the photo, the puck is juuuuuust getting up and over the goalie’s stick.
that’s odin standing in the top left corner playing defense 🙂
32/365.
say *that* ten times fast 🙂
30/365.
in milwaukee. milwaukee admirals vs grand rapids griffins! odin is bravely wearing his red wings jersey ( griffins are feeder team for red wings ). not a lot of wings or griffin fans here 🙂
good game, the griffins won!
24/365. scorekeeper.
at one of odin’s two hockey games today. it offers a great view of the game, but having to calculate game time versus clock time and saves in real time for official score sheet is a little stressy.
after winning 15 games and only losing one, odin’s coaches thought the team needed a more challenge so the rest of the season has been rescheduled to have them play tougher teams outside their regular league. they played oregon ( part of madison metro region ) and dodgeville and lost both games by a wide margin. i think, 8-2 and 9-2 respectively. in both games they held on to keep the score close through first two periods and ran out of steam in the third. while it’s fun to win every game by a blowout, i think it’s great for them to play tougher teams to see if they can take it the next level.
the non-league games don’t count against their stellar league record and i believe the challenge will get them better prepared for state championships.
