I don’t often write about personal things here but I thought I would share a bit from this past weekend. My Son Josh was in his 2nd ever house leauge hockey tournament this past weekend. His team (Bradford Home Hardware) has been doing very well all season and we were hoping for a win. With his team putting forth some great effort and some awesome team work they did not disapoint.

They took the first game with a strong 10-0 win getting them in great spirits. Josh was covering defence (ususally forward) for most of the game for one of our players who was sick. As the game wenton the coach decided he would let Josh play forward – Josh really wanted to score. He scored his first goal on a breakaway and his second from a rebound in front of the net giving his team their 9th and 10th goals. At the end of this game the caoches from each team picked a MVP from the other team. Joshua was picked and given a great plaque. Both he and I were just a little excited

The second and third games were a little tougher but they were victoriuos winning 8-4 and 8-1 repectively. Josh scored 2 goals in game two to bring his tournament goals up to 4.

The championship game was played against another team from Bradford – their arch rivals – Bradford Audiotronics. Bradford seems to produce some great hockey players and was well represented at this tournameent. All year it has been a battle between these two teams. They have tied two games and Bradford Home Hardware has won all the rest – they have always been hard fought games. This final game was no different with some nail biting moments throughout. We had a couple of hit posts/crossbars – some great saves from our star goalie – in the end they came up on top: 5-3

I am really proud of Joshua and how he played – he gave 100% every game. Joshua finished the tournament with 4 goals, 3 assists and a huge smile. I want to thank his coaching staff for always doing a great job and working hard with these boys!
