Hamilton Ice Cats 6 Burlington 4

Exciting game tonight! The lead went back and forth with David's team coming out on top. David was the star again, he got 3 goals and an assist! He's really coming into his own. David's always had the skills now he seems to be putting it all together!

A fun evening with the family in Burlington. Even his sisters were proud of him.

Rep Hockey

This year David is playing in the Hamilton Hub league. It's a big step for him but he really wanted to go for it and Leigh and I decided to support it.

Yesterday he had his first game. He kinda surprised me by how good he did. It was a 4-4 tie but David looked great. He started on the third line but by the end of the game he got moved to the top line and was double shifted twice. He got a goal and 2 assists.

I'm proud of him.

----------UPDATE Sept 26---------------
David had his second game tonight. They lost 3-2 but David did well again. He got their 2 goals! Something is clicking for him so far this year. It's like his hockey sense has finally developed.

Skunked...again

Went out with Joel Wiersma this morning. The bite was off again. Tried everything - even ran out to 250 FOW but nada. Talked with Big D, Riggermortis and Hoover on the radio and they didn't fare much better.

I think I'm done with the Salmon for this year. Gonna do one of two Bay of Quinte walleye trips in October and that'll be it.

Runner's Den 10k Race

Leigh's gotten back into running this summer. Today she ran a 10k race for the first time in about 11 years. She did well. Her time was 50:20. She was 45th out of 200+ participants. Here she is about to cross the finish line.

Right behind Leigh in the picture there just happens to be someone we know from church. It was kinda fun to tease Dennis that he was beat by my wife. :)

BTW, Leigh's friend Wynne-Ann was 26th!

Skunked...

I felt bad that I couldn't get the kids into some fish last night. Apparently the fishing has been terrible since the hurricane came through last weekend. I used all my tricks but nada.


We had a good evening anyways. The lake was flat and we gave each kid a chance to bomb around - they enjoyed that, especially when I almost got thrown over the side :)

Gould Lake

Was at a friends cottage on Gould lake, near Sauble beach, for a couple of days this weekend. Had a good time boating, tubing, skiing, swimming, campfiring and climbing some huge sand dunes. Did a little still fishing with worms with the kids and got tons of small perch, a few sunfish and two 1 pound smallmouth bass.
