Another hockey weekend

Friday Tiffany had a hockey game at 7:00 pm. This was their last house league playoff game. They won 6 to 2. Tiffany scored one of our goals. Now they move on to the semi-finals, which just so happens to be Saturday.

Saturday,
Tommy had a semi-final game at 11:00, they won 9 to 1. Yay, they move on to the championship game on Sunday!
Tony had a game at 12:00. They did not get so lucky to win, however it was a great game. I love watching Tony and Tommy play. These two boys are going to be great hockey players when they grow up.
Tiffany's Semi-final Game was at 3:40 in which they won 5 to 1. Tiffany scored again! Now we advance to play Sunday! (Championship here we come!) After the game, Tiff's team had another tailgating party. This time we grilled out and ate inside so we could watch the next game and see who we play in the finals. Either way this is going to be a rough game.
Taylor's semi-final game was at 7:00 (Yes this means I'm not able to leave the arena yet.) They did not win, the score was 2 to 0. Taylor was the goalie for this game and had a great game. Our team just could not put the puck in the net! So Taylor is done with his fall hockey season. His drafts for the spring season is Thursday. (NO hockey break for us.)

Sunday starts with setting your clocks ahead, or sleeping one hour less. Whatever way you want to look at it.
Tommy's Championship game was at 9:00 am. It was awesome! Double overtime takes his team to a victory 2-1.

Tiffany played her Championship Game at 12:30.

We came out wanting a win as we took a quick 5 to 0 lead in the first period. For the most part it was a clean game and we won 8 to 2.( Regular Season and Playoff champs)
Everyone may be thinking that we are done, however they are still competing in the Adray league. We are a part of the "Elite Eight" in Michigan. A win on Monday would put us in the "Final Four" tournament this upcoming weekend. A round robin tournament.

After party! (Cuz that's what our team does!) We went to the coaches house for pizza, burgers, beer, and more hockey.

That's when the day gets bad. Out on the pond the kids were playing hockey for about 2 hours when they start yelling "Get coach!" (whom is a doctor). My Taylor and Tiffany are both getting water and holding someone. So we knew it was not good. Taylor took a shot and hit Dallas (one of our key players) in the eye.

Dr. brought the child in and then asked if I could assist in stitching up the patient.
The tough girl that I am sucks it up and says yes. I put on my gloves and assisted in stitching a child with no pain meds. It took all I had not to pass out, and I was just holding string and tools.
As soon as we were done I had to leave. I needed air and Taylor needed space.

That kid was so tough and my son was soooo sad.

Tomorrows another game and we need to have a WIN!!

WTG nurse Jill! I can't believe you had to help stitch a kid! I'm glad he is ok. That just shows why you wear a helmet. Overall it sounds like we both had great hockey weekends!
