Drinking from the Cup
Topic: Updates|
We have spent the last five days going from one hockey rink to another for a hockey tournament with NJ. We started the tournament with a 5 to 3 loss. Then a 3 to 3 tie, followed by another tie of 1 to 1. This put the U16 Thunder On Ice team in the semi-finals of the tournament.
The semi-finals were played Sunday, December 30 at Alltel Ice Den. We ended with a tie of 4 to 4 due to a last second (literally) goal by the other team. However, there had to be a winner to move on to the finals. Thus, a five minute sudden death overtime was set up by which neither team scored. Again there had to be a winner so we went to a shoot out. Nine rounds later Thunder On Ice was the winner and was moving on to the finals.
The final was played Monday, December 31 at Alltel Ice Den. The Thunder team started out slow but held strong for a win with a score of 4 to 2.
NJ played four and a half out of the five games. He kept his head about him during the shoot out. The coached deemed him MVP of the tournament.
Needless to say he was an extremely happy boy!
