Luke's Squirt A White team

We finished our 2018-19 hockey season last weekend and we were all sad to see the season end.  Luke's team won both the regular season district as well as the district tournament.  They had a very successful season finishing with a third place ranking in the state of Minnesota.  In the final season banquet, the coach honored each player with a puck that described them.  Luke's puck was "Passion" because as the coach said he has a true passion for the game of hockey.  His coach commented on how Luke never missed a practice or game, never complained about people hitting him in the net one after another, and he was the first to turn in his off ice training log each week.   Luke has an undeniable passion for hockey.  He will go to practice and skate for two hours then come home and ask to go out in the backyard and skate.  Luke never seems to get enough hockey.

Liam's team had their end of season banquet on Friday evening at Dave and Buster's.  This is a true perfect analogy of the difference between Liam's team and Luke's.  Luke's team had a banquet at a public country club while Liam's team played video games and had a blast at Dave and Buster's.  Both were teams of awesome families and kids, but quite different for sure.  Liam's coach commented on how Liam was his top centerman and how he won the face-offs and was all over the ice playing both defense and offense.  Liam won a "Hat Trick" patch for the three goals he scored in one of our regular season games and the coach recognized his ability to grind in front of the net and score numerous goals.  Liam had an amazing season scoring 28 total goals.  He grew in confidence and in love for the game of hockey.  He was a leader and a positive example to many of the first year squirts on his team.

Aiden finished his final season of house hockey as a Supermite on the Vegas Knights team.  He had a fun season with several good friends and learned a lot about hockey.  He is more than ready to begin squirts as he was longing for more excitement and competition by the end of the season.  His favorite position is defense but he's not afraid to rush the puck and take a shot if given the opportunity.  It was a great season for Aiden and well and we are excited to see what next year brings for him.

And now...its time for a quick break before our AAA spring season of hockey begins!
