Christmas Tournament

David's team (the Hamilton Ice Cats) play in a tournament Dec 27-30. It's hosted by the Stoney Creek Minor Hockey Association. All games are at the Mohawk Quad Pad and the schedule can be found here.
The seating isn't the greatest at the Quad pad but if anyone wants to check out a game - consider yourself invited.

----- UPDATE Dec 29, 4pm -----------------------------
It's over. They lost in the semi-finals to a very strong team from Waterloo. It was a blast. David played well. He got 3 goals and many assists. Thanks to all who came out and watched him.

They had a professional photographer at the tournament and yesterday we received a CD full of really high quality pictures. Here's a couple action shots of David that I liked.

Here he is on the back-check.

Weekend Getaway in Barrie

We had a great mini vacation up North this weekend! David's team represented Hamilton in a hockey tournament in Barrie and won it all!! They played 5 games in 3 days and went undefeated! Here's the results:

Friday morning they tied Waterloo 3-3. (I was especially proud of David this game because he had been sick this week and even stayed home from school wed and thurs and really wasn't feeling well friday morning but he sucked it up and scored 2 nice goals!)

Friday evening they beat Georgina 6-0.
Saturday afteroon they beat Innisfil 5-2.
Sunday morning they beat London 3-0 in the semi-finals.
Sunday afteroon they beat Whitby 2-0 in the finals to win it!

David played really well the whole tournament and it was really nice to see all the kids bond together and really play as a team. It was also nice hanging out with the parents and getting to know them. We all stayed at Carriage Hills resort, just outside of Barrie. It was fun hanging around the pool and going out to eat with the other families.

Here's David taking the opening face-off of the opening game.


Here he is showing off the hardware.


Good times. Official results can be found here.
