We set a new family record for most hockey games played in one weekend.  This isn't a record that I hope to break anytime soon, but I am very thankful for the friends who helped us out.  We had a total of 14 games from Friday to Sunday.  To make things more complicated, Luke, Liam, and Aiden were in three different AAA hockey tournaments in three different cities.  John traveled to Duluth with Luke and his team, I traveled to St. Cloud with Liam and his team, and Aiden stayed in the Twin Cities area with a neighbor and good friend of his whose dad is also the coach of Aiden's AAA team.  Overall, we had a successful weekend with Luke's team finishing in first place, Liam's team finished in second place after an overtime loss in the championship game, and Aiden's team finished third.  We have three more tournaments before the first half of the AAA season is over until August.  It will be nice to have a break and focus on our spring sports that are starting up.
