Aiden in the penalty box (for the first time....he went twice!)
We had six hockey games over the weekend between Friday and Sunday. While John and I didn't make all of them, one of us was able to attend each of them since the times overlapped quite a bit. I didn't get any pictures from Luke's games, but managed to get a few from friends at Liam and Aiden's games.
Liam is on a PeeWee B1 team and typically plays left wing, though he has played a few games at defense. Its amazing the difference in size at the PeeWee level where you have kids between the ages of 11 and 13. Liam's team is relatively small with several first year PeeWee kids in sixth grade. When they play kids primarily in 7th grade, it is tough because the boys are bigger and stronger (maybe not always faster, thankfully).
Aiden had his first squirt game on Sunday and played very well. Ironically, Aiden is on Squirt B1 Black which is the same team that Liam was on last season. We even have a few of the same players that Liam played with last year which is pretty awesome. As I told a few of the other moms after the game on Sunday, Aiden is not Liam. Aiden is aggressive, rough, and not afraid to get in the mix of things. He had TWO penalties and went to the box twice in his first game. He wasn't overly aggressive, but he is definitely not afraid to use his body. Liam, on the other hand, would rather beat most people down the ice than be overly aggressive on the puck.
Aiden played defense in his first game and loves that position. He had a great time and is excited about the next game. Unfortunately, we lost the first game 4-3 against the other B1 team in our association. It was a very evenly balanced game against several of our good friends so it was fun to watch, but hopefully we come out ahead next time.
