Local Celebrity

Here's a nice little article in our local paper about a young guy in our neighbourhood that I work out with. He's going to Concordia in Minnesota this fall to play NCAA hockey.

He's also playing on the summer team I've put together. So far we're playing .500 hockey. We've got a tough game coming up Thursday night against a team in the division above us. I think we can definitely win this game as long as we play smart and be disciplined about playing positions. Our goalie is an iron curtain and we've got plenty of speed so it should be a good game.

Summer Hockey and a new Twig

I've put together a team for summer in the Cascade Hockey League and our first game is this coming Sunday. We've got some pretty good talent and should be very competitive. In fact I'm predicting domination of our division. Also picked up a new stick for my birthday, an Easton S11. It's not as fancy as the S17, but I got a chance to use it this morning at stick and puck and I'm liking it. I went with an 85 flex instead of the 100 and even though it's a bit whippier than my synergy 350, I like the way it feels and it certainly helps my wrist shot. Should be a good summer season!
