Last weekend, we finished Luke's hockey season in a scenario that was hard to comprehend for all of us.  Luke's PWAA season ended in an overtime loss and they narrowly missed making a run at the State Title for the PWAA level.  It was an amazing and successful season overall where they were highly competitive and spent the season ranked among the top 5 teams in the state.  After we advanced to regions, we hoped to get a spot in the state tournament but we missed our opportunity after both a triple and single overtime loss in regions.  It was a great season for Luke where he grew leaps and bounds.  The speed of the game slowed down for him by the end of the season and he was comfortable in the net during the high pressure games.   The rest of us met some amazing families and had fun season getting to know everyone.  I am pretty sure Aiden and Finn were as sad to see the season end as Luke was with all of the fun younger siblings they met.  We are already excited about the prospects for next season!

Aiden's season ended this weekend with a loss in the district tournament.  He also had a great season.  He was given the award of the "Humble Bee" at his banquet.  He was described as the player who always gets his job done and is humble about scoring and making plays.  He brings an energy to the team when he celebrates each of his teammates goals as if they were his own.  He is a team player who works hard each and every shift making plays that will benefit the team as whole.  Aiden was also the only player on his team to receive both the Hat Trick patch and the Playmaker patch.  The hat trick patch is for scoring three goals in a single game and the Playmaker patch is for three or more assists in a single game.  Aiden got both this season which is remarkable.
