The University of Utah Skatin' Utes start Nationals with a win over Missouri State.... Great game, so fun!!

Getting off the snide! Been a bit since I've lit the lamp.... Tonight finally grinned one. It was ugly, behind the net, tried to throw it in front for a chance, caught a skate, off the pipe and in, popped out immediately, under the goalie. I'll take it! Funny, besides me and the refs, everyone was getting at the faceoff circle. I skated to center ice and sat, finally had to say to my team "hey, Boys, that's a goal." Truth be told, don't know if the ref didn't make a big call or what, I had to look to see if a ref was at the scorers table to confirm....(when I spoke up) Wouldn't have mattered, but won in shootout, after being down 2. Fun night and better yet, love a game with two well matched teams. Won't post in the crap spot, but last shift broke a stick...

Couple of the boy last night...

Tough break, MThockeydad. Sending good JuJu for a quick and full recovery. Audible laugh at Chippa13's response. I also had no idea and did not Google.

Crazy how attached we get to our furry family members, BenderHockey. Sending good JuJu your way.

AWESOME!!! Congrats to the girls!

Same as Mojo122, AMT trainer is what I prefer to a regular elliptical. Like you, I find a regular elliptical awkward.

Disagree. There are plenty of ways to burn calories... It's not so much "easy" as just not enduring it. Kinda like hockey, burn a chitton of calories and it's fun, doesn't mean it's easy, just something that you're not focusing on the fact that you're exercising. Need to find things like that. Some people love to run, it's not my bag. I run to train, but it's work. When I get on the bike, it's fun, like hockey.... I can do a monster climb, roadie or MTB & it's challenge, not means to an end.

Nothing better than finding a way to burn calories at the club, where you don't just have to endure it....

Yep... Just dropping proud dad. Though he won't touch, says he wasn't on the ice for either, he's been on the ice this season & dropped points, it's a hockey thing. Still proud as a peacock.... Meh...always been taller at 6'2"....but looks like he's jumping me....

Snow? I live in Utah and we're in a heat wave.... Have had a crazy Winter.... Can you vent for no snow? I'm going to end up summerizing the snowblower without using it, let alone ever shoveling? Been like 55-70 the last bit....feels like mid-late March....

BOOM!!! Such a great weekend!!!! Sun Valley Champions with the 12U girls(really just undefeated, not an actual tournament) PAC8 Hockey Champions in Tahoe!

Yea Subie.....

I actually laughed....ouch, that hurts...

YYEEEESSSSSSSS!!!! The Skatin Utes take home the inaugural Wasatch Cup with a triple overtime win over Utah State.

Wish I had the balls to do this.... My son has some regular skates he goes to & always pushes me to join him & I cannot get past the fact that I'll be a pylon out there. Know it would be good for my game & great exercise(sort of my always second bonus, better than a run, treadmill or elliptical), but I worry so much, just can't get myself to go lace um up....

....and next week, se may decide she doesn't want to play sports and get into music and infatuated with boys. Kids? You just ride the waves you get & love them all the same!

Thank you. She has been blessed with size(she’s almost 5’ tall), athletic ability and a very high competitive drive, which is a huge asset and headache. She works really hard, gets a lot of ice time and is a GREAT athlete. She also retains and implements instruction well. Anyway, all of the above has afforded her the ability to compete at a high level in every sport she plays.

I think this is 2 banners in my Little One's last two tournaments(one with the boys, one with the girls).

Holy snikes, good on you for holding your cool. That could have escalated quickly. What an idiot!

Sweet Spot, I get coaching from my son. Funny, I talk about S&P above, but go out with the pups & my son breaks down my skating and tells me(in his way, he's really gentle), do this! He works me, my legs are still a little fatigued. Added bonus, he works my daughter, but she has a harder time thinking she can learn from him.... Sibling $hit...

I paid $18 today(3 of us, $6 each).... Good on you!

5 goals, couple assists & a PeeWee Championship banner.... Not a bad weekend for my 9 year old. Funny, I look at the pic and see she has started to tape her shins. I don't go in the locker room anymore or have her come out, she ties her own skates and apparently, now is taping her shins... Funny, kids just figure things out. She tapes her own stick as well(blade, I do her handle).

My Little One, after her tournament game today. Her 12U team beat a 14U team 3-1. My daughter had 2 goals and drew 2 penalties, played a solid game on both sides. Added bonus, she's 9....

My son netted his first collegiate goal in Seattle, playing UW in a ACHA PAC8 showdown.
