Thanksgiving and Hockey

Luke did not have a tournament over Thanksgiving, but this is a picture of him in net right before Thanksgiving in a game.  His team doesn't usually have orange jerseys, but these were for a throwback jersey night.

Yummy!
Aiden had a tournament over Thanksgiving as well.  This is Aiden on a face-off.  He played Center.

We had a nice Thanksgiving and enjoyed a little time off of school and work.  We had Thanksgiving dinner at the Weigel's house as we have done for the last couple years.  The Weigel's are good friends and Finn's godparents that live down the street from us.  We got together with some of their family and enjoyed a very nice meal and a relaxing day.

The rest of the weekend was primarily spent at the hockey rink.  Both Aiden and Liam were in a tournament, but thankfully they played at the same rink.  We had 8 games in 2.5 days so we were quite busy.  We had snow, ice, sleet, and rain on one of the days so we ended up staying at the rink for most of the day rather than going back and forth.  It was a long day, but thankfully both teams played well and the boys enjoyed it.

This was Aiden's first travel tournament.  He played center for most of the games and got his "Playmaker" patch which means he had three assists in one game.  He loved it and cannot wait for the next tournament!

Liam's team has come a long way in a month.  They had a bit of a rough start and lost a couple games, but have improved a lot in a few weeks.  They ended up finishing second in the PeeWee B1 division and lost in the championship to a Canadian team 1-2.  It was a close game that was very competitive and fun to watch.

It has changed from fall to winter overnight here.  We are excited for Christmas break and and hoping to have the ice rink up and running pretty soon.
