A 7-5 comeback win

The guys fell behind 4-0 to a U-16 team that should never get the upper hand. The U-16 team had better speed and early on our team seemed sleepy. But the advantage of experience and better puck protection paid off as the game wore on.

Watch a few plays:

12 in 12

With just a couple of days left in December 2008, icasualties.org is reporting 12 dead in Iraq. That's 12 in 12 - a sad note to the end of the year.

Way past time to put an end to this gruesome war.

Back on the ice

For a game between bitter rivals things went pretty well. The refs called it tight, talked to the kids a lot and kept everything under control. It was a damn good game up until Hockey Boy decided to dive to save a shot, turned to avoid slamming his head into the boards and went in knee first.

Another trip to the x-ray store. He's fine but I know that knee is going to hurt like hell tomorrow.
