Hockey Season

We had our first snow fall last week.  Not sure I am ready for snow yet, but its coming.  And, as you can see in the picture, John has been working on the ice rink.

Luke had his first game last week.  The picture is of Luke and his goalie partner, Kaden.  And, they won their first game 10-2.


We have been busy the last few weeks adjusting to the start of hockey season.   This season is going to be a little different for us as Luke and Liam will be playing on different travel teams, unfortunately.  Luke made the Squirt A White team as a goalie and Liam made the Squirt B1 Black team as a skater.  Both boys have great teams and we are hoping for a great season for both of them.  

It will be a busy season, no doubt, with a combined 34 district games between now and the end of February plus a countless number of practices.  We will be heading to Thief River Falls, Minnesota for Luke's tournament in February and to Fargo, North Dakota for Liam's tournament also in February.  Needless to say, we will see a lot of hockey over the next three months.  That isn't including Aiden's hockey which will pick up with some games in January.  Thankfully, Finn is going to continue his "hockey team" skating on the backyard rink so we don't have another schedule to balance (at least not yet).  

We have our first two tournaments for Luke and Liam beginning the Friday after  Thanksgiving.  We will have 6+ games in two days and the remaining games on day 3 will be determined by how well we do on days 1 and  2.  Should be a fun weekend cheering on both teams!

Happy Thanksgiving to our friends and families!
