Vegas

Ah Vegas... The city that never sleeps. We had a great time despite the fact that the kids did not win a single game. Heck, they didn't even score a single goal. What was billed as a AA tournament, we soon learned, was more of a AAA Major tournament. While talking with parents from some of the other teams, it seems they do not have large associations and thus the teams they brought to the tournament were the top kids in their PeeWee divisions. Our association has two PeeWee AAA teams, major and minor, as well as our PeeWee AA and then several house teams. I think the kids had a good time in spite of their losses. It was certainly a good experience and gave them a taste of what the competition is like at a high level of play.

Our SJHA Midget AA team also attended this tournament and they ended up winning their division with a 5-0-0 record. They fought hard and were rewarded for it. So at least SJHA came away with some respect.

Now the kids are working hard to finish the year strong with a forward gaze to the playoffs and hopefully advancing to regionals.
