So, this past weekend was the last hurrah, so to speak, for my daughter’s hockey season – a tournament in the frozen tundra that is St. Ignace, MI. I thought we here in Traverse had I rough. Wow. That U.P. is way cold. Anyway, it was a great weekend. The girls did okay. With a 1 win, 2 loss, 1 tie record they did not make it into the championship game. However, they did do exceptionally well in the skills competition; a fun addition to the tournament tensions.
I know very little about hockey. You would think with my Chicago roots, watching the Blackhawks on a regular basis would be a given. But like I stated in a post a few weeks back – I hate those announcers. The MUTE button is an option, then I just get bored. Though I must say, the few games I have watched with my daughter, the announcers have been okay. We will see. The play-offs for the NHL are right around the corner. If my daughter wants me to watch and learn … . I guess I’ll just ‘puck’ it up and watch some hockey. The good thing is if she let’s me MUTE, she can be the commentator.
SCORE!
Here’s a link to a game from a few months back. A dad from the team GoPro’s the games. The editing is an arduous task, so the latest games aren’t uploaded yet.
