Hockey season has begun for us....hence the reason I have not blogged in a long time and the reason I have no decent pictures to share! I can assure you we are enjoying ourselves and the boys are in heaven to be playing another season of hockey with their friends.
Luke and Liam are both Bantams this year which means there is checking and the kids are much bigger, stronger, and faster. Since we are first year Bantams, many of the kids are 2 years old than Luke and Liam and some are even learning to drive which is a crazy thought to me although it is just around the corner for us. Luke made the highest team as a goalie and is very excited to be playing for one of the most respected coaches in our area. He is also excited to be with the same goalie partner that he had in his first year of PeeWees as they are quite compatible and enjoyed working together.
Liam made a Bantam B1 team which is about where we thought he would land and a good spot for him to grow (not only in hockey, but hopefully in height/size as well!). He has several very good friends on his team and we are on a team with the Weigel's son (Finn's godparents) which is the third time this has happened for us and it is always a fun year with them.
Aiden also moved up a level this year to PeeWees and is playing on a PeeWee B1 team. He is in a great spot on a team that historically does very well each year. His two coaches have sons that are some of Aiden's closest friends so we are very pleased with his team as well. All in all, tryouts went very well for us and despite the stressful 2-3 weeks, we are very thankful for the outcome!
We don't have Finn's team yet because they don't go through tryouts for House teams, but we should find out his coach and teammates in the next week or so.
We are looking at around 150 games this season! Just regular district games and not including scrimmages and not including Finn's games which start after Christmas. We have at least 5 travel tournaments and 8 local tournaments. It will be a busy season to say the least.
