Puck it up

So, this past weekend was the last hurrah, so to speak, for my daughter’s hockey season - a tournament in the frozen tundra that is St. Ignace, MI.  I thought we here in Traverse had I rough.  Wow.  That U.P. is way cold.  Anyway,  it was a great weekend.  The girls did okay.  With a 1 win, 2 loss, 1 tie record they did not make it into the championship game.  However, they did do exceptionally well in the skills competition; a fun addition to the tournament tensions.

I know very little about hockey.  You would think with my Chicago roots, watching the Blackhawks on a regular basis would be a given.  But like I stated in a post a few weeks back – I hate those announcers.  The MUTE button is an option, then I just get bored.  Though I must say, the few games I have watched with my daughter, the announcers have been okay.  We will see.  The play-offs for the NHL are right around the corner.  If my daughter wants me to watch and learn … .  I guess I’ll just ‘puck’ it up and watch some hockey.  The good thing is if she let’s me MUTE, she can be the commentator.

SCORE!

Here’s a link to a game from a few months back.  A dad from the team GoPro’s the games.  The editing is an arduous task, so the latest games aren’t uploaded yet.
