Hockey Playoffs – Game 9 (Final – Game 2)
March 28, 2010
Well they did it – winning 4-2. The game was very close. It wasn’t their best played game, but it was enough to win.
I’m really proud of all the kids. All the early practices. Learning off-sides. From being unable to win a game when the season started. To not loosing a game during the play-offs. Beating a team in the final that they lost to 12-3 early in the season.
I’m sad to see the season end. But they’ll be playing in 2 more tournaments before the season is officially over and new teammates next season.
The OMHA Maple Lodge Farms Tournament next weekend.

Hockey Playoffs – Game 8 (Final – Game 1)
March 27, 2010
The kids finished the round robin with 6 wins and 1 tie, and are now playing for the championship.
They inched one one step closer after winning the first game in a 2 game mini-series.
Final score was 5-2. A win or tie tomorrow and the kids are the Champions. If they lose. The game goes into a 5 minute 3 on 3. If no one scores, it goes to a shootout. Lets hope it doesn’t go to this.
Another Lost Tooth
March 25, 2010
Gisele’s loose tooth finally fell off this morning. It’s been loose for about 2 weeks, but she refused let me pull it out. She wanted it to fall out by itself, and it did.
It’s funny, she’s been arguing with Jacob the last few weeks about the tooth-fairy. She doesn’t believe and Jacob does. They’re always asking me if he/she is real or not.
Enjoying A Little Sunshine
March 24, 2010
Today was a nice sunny day. After the kids came home from school we spent some time playing out side. Jacob practiced riding his Ripstick and I played catch with Gisele, then got to vacuum my car.
Later on we went to Dairy Queen and enjoyed some ice cream.

Hockey Playoffs – Game 7
March 20, 2010
Jacob finally got his first goal – and almost had two more. I forgot to look at the score sheet, but he may have gotten 2 assists?
The boys played an amazing game today. Everyone was back checking and attacking the puck. This was not the same team that tied last week.
I’m in full agreement when Todd said it was probably one of our best played games.
The final score 5-2.
Hockey Playoffs – Game 6
March 14, 2010
Well we suffered the first setback during the playoffs today – a 3-3 tie.
Leading 3-1 in the third, the Canadians scored 2 goals with less than 2 minutes left.
I don’t know what was going on today? They didn’t look like the same team that haven’t lost a game in over 2 months. Even though it wasn’t a loss, the way they played and they way the lead was blown, it felt like a loss.
On the bright side, Jordan played an excellent game in nets, and overall the defence played well. It was the forwards who seemed sluggish.
Looking forward, I don’t think they like the feeling, and I feel they will play much better next game. It also guaranteed they’ll be playing for the championship next weekend.
Hockey Playoffs – Game 5
March 8, 2010
We are now 5-0 in the playoffs. Today was a big 4-1 win. The game was not as close as the score, as their goalie made big save after save.
Going into the third period, the score was 2-1. I have to admit I was getting nervous. But two quick goals and we had a bit of breathing room. From there the boys just shut them down.
3 more games left.
Is This Gisele’s Last Soccer Game?
March 7, 2010
Gisele had her final indoor soccer game today. After she finished, I asked her if she wants to play summer soccer. She told me no, she wants to play hockey.
I actually don’t have a problem with it, except her mother would never go for it. I had enough of a hard time getting Jacob playing. She also doesn’t know how to skate very well. I know she’ll get better if she plays. But in the mean time, it will be very hard.
