Couple of the young one this past weekend, went 3-1, but didn't advance. (Edit for - for some reason these were deleted from my PB account?)

Sending positive JuJu to you Chad and to your player, MThockeydad.

Holiday can be a bit hectic and whatnot, but I really love the opportunity to get together with all my immediate family. Also, something special gifting someone something they really want and have no idea they're getting....those smiles and sometimes tears, priceless.

Priceless right there...makes every hour worth it. AWESOME!!!Buccigross is going to wear a @skatinutes #cawlidgehawkey jersey tonight on SportsCenter... I already loved the guy and have a ton of OT challenge and CawlidgeHawkey stuff, but this sends me over the top. Love me some Bucci!

Started at 6:00 AM, finished at 10:00 PM. 3-1 (2-0 with her 12U's and 1-1 with her 14U's). We'll take one banner from here, with some magic maybe 2. I should sack out, rolling tomorrow morning early. Side note, not sure how these cats schedule, but her 14's team had 2 games....6:00 AM and 8:50 PM...really?

On the road for the 4th time in 5 weeks for hockey tournaments for this one. Colorado twice(Vail & Steamboat Springs), Wyoming once(Jackson Hole) and now Idaho Falls, Idaho. First time this year it's just dad/daughter. Plan on putting the hurt on some teams tomorrow.

Think Howelsen opened in '96...

My daughters 12U girls team went to Steamboat, Colorado to play in the Adele Dombrowski Tournament. Undefeated tournament champions. My daughter didn't have a bad run either, netting 13 goals in 4 games. Fun weekend!

The Avs won @ NYR, my son's ACHA West #2 Skatin' Utes went on the road and beat #3 Utah State 5-2, I played(lost, but it was a fun game, I'm beat) & I'm headed to Jackson Hole.... Life could be worse.

No. Assuming you are not even on a team. Honestly, at this point, you just want to be placed on a team & then put in a position where they feel you can fit in. Then you work your tail off to get comfortable where you got slotted and hope to be called up to play at the next level. Then you're placed whatever position they feel like you can fit in. When you're good enough to say "I'm LD", it doesn't matter, because they may need you at RF and you'll just roll with that. That's my opinion & im sticking to it.

I know, the bragging on the kid thing.... That said, my 10U was ask to play for a U14 team playing in Colorado this weekend. We jumped and though there was a bit of a flare up(meltdown) in our program(we have 14's that she's playing against in this tourney), it's all good. The team in 0-2, but have competed well, 60%+ of the girls are 12's(this program can't field 12's & 14's, so just 14's). Oh, guess the bragging...other than being ask as a 10 to play 14's, she's got 3 of their 5 goals. Scored 2 goals against her programs 14's, who they will not allow her to play up for.

^^^^AWESOME STUFF, MThockeydad, the whole thing!

She has had a little jump, taller and leaner....

Couple recent of the pups...

double post

Travel season starts! First tourney with the Boys(U10), Champions! Picked up with a U14 girls team to go to Vail in a few weeks(couldn't field a U12 bracket, her girls team). Had them make her a sweater with her name/#...sometimes having your # is worth paying a few skittles. The Boy picked up his first ACHA D2 point of the season, with the @Skatinutes, last night. Utes stay undefeated and should enter the first rankings as the #2 in the West behind ASU Elite.

My daughter was voted the "C" on her U10 boys travel team last night. She wore an "A" last year & this is her 3rd year playing on this team, so not a huge surprise. That said, my girl receiving the votes to wear the "C" & represent her boys travel squad is pretty stinkin' neat. I'm VERY PROUD of her.

^^^ Even your laces and liners match

Chadd, since last Saturday I can't get this thread out of my mind. I don't know you, but can't help but worry about how you are managing. Im sending you all good JuJu and hope you are managing as well. Thoughts with you and your family.

Couple recent photos of the pups in game action.... The Little One skating out of their zone. Got a nice shot off, didn't finish. The Boy with a few shots from the point vs BYU.

I'm sorry for your loss and send my sympathies. Surround yourself with family and friends. What a terrible thing.....

So Friday night before he CRUSHED BYU... Tonight, Tesla, Styx, Def Leppard Just for references, I'm 6'2"

GREAT WEEKEND! The boy regular shifted with the University of Utah's crushing of the team down South(BYU). The Little one had training camp with her boys team, crushed. Had 2 comp team soccer games(1 11U, 1 12U), played great, but ended 0-1-1. Played great in my Sunday skate with the boy, scored twice(1 goal is a good skate). He kept getting on me for the hatty, I had more than my fair chances, just couldn't finish. This skate reminds me of how bad I am. One chance, my boy fired perfect pass to me in front, but so hard I can't hold it. Hell, he fired one to me sliding in from point that I tried to grab with my skate and it almost knocked me down. No worries, I always say you can't get better playing with a bunch of people worse than you. I think I had my best Sunday skate. Add to all this.... I replaced a toilet, cut down a tree, 3/4 filled a dumpster I had delivered, with junk....WTF...how do we collect junk. Dumped 2 mattresses(bed springs), the tree, 4 televisions, a dvr, the old toilet & a bunch of other junk. Oh & smoked some St. Louis ribs today, had a great cigar and watch the lunar eclipse. GREAT WEEKEND! P.S. The Utes kicked Hell out of the Ducks....so that was pretty sweet as well.

I agree, but am biased. They have 5 jerseys, I think, that they rotate. Few pair of socks. Shells stay the same(though new this year). I'll see if I can find some pics.

Couple of the boy from last nights scrimmage...
