Wenatchee Final

A fresh sheet of ice ready for the ensuing battle to begin.

Unfortunately our team ended up losing the final game to Wenatchee. In the prior game the head coach was ejected for, of all things, calmly asking the head ref. to clarify his last call. Now I know the coach can be loud and sometimes sarcastic, but this was nothing of the sort. He simply wanted a clarification of a call. The ref. was doing a terrible job of clearly signalling calls and even the people in the stands had no idea what the calls were, and the scorekeeper was right in front of us.

Then, since the team had more than 15 penalties total the coach was suspended for the following final game. As discipline for some of the kids who accumulated several penalties the coaches had them sit out of the game. While in the stands for the final game, the head coach was calling to the kids no different than any other parent, and the ref. ejected him from the arena. It was unbelievable and the ref. was clearly biased against us.

So enough rambling about losses. We're looking forward to the upcoming weekend in Vegas and hope the kids will be competitive.
