Princess Julia

Our little baby Princess turns 5 this week. Tomorrow we're having a few little girls over for a Princess party. It's hard to believe that our youngest is already 5! Leigh did a good job on the cake.

Disappointing Day.

The Ice Cats were in a one day single elimination tournament in Durham today. Durham is about 15min north of Mount Forest just off hwy #6. The team chartered a bus which was kinda fun. The tournament started off well with a 6-0 win over Paris but the second game against Hanover was a real bummer - we were better than them but somehow they ended up winning 4-3 due to cheap goals and bad refereeing. David was pretty upset, he was even crying in dressing room after the game - which to be honest I was glad to see. Here's a picture of David lining up on the wing for one shift.

Awesome Game Tonight!

I just wanna brag about my son for a minute.... :)

We just got back from an amazing game tonight. David's team played the 2nd place team in their league. They played great. David played even better. David broke a scoreless tie shorthanded near the end of the second period when he won a race for the puck, swooped in past 3 spitfire players, and created himself a partial breakaway - he deked the goalie and scored a beauty goal!

Early in the third period David's line had extended pressue on them. David won 3 or 4 puck battles himself. Finally he found himself in front of the net with the puck, showing uncanny patience, he held the puck till the goalie committed and fired it in. 2-0 Ice Cats!

Final score was 3-1. Great game!
