Super Saturday

Super Saturday is the LAST day of House League Hockey when they play in the finals.  They have music, lots of crowds and they announce the games just like in the NHL. It is too cute.  This is the first time one of our kids has made it to Super Saturday.

Campbell at the face-off. They lost 3-2, but they had fun.

Then Patrick's team played their last game. They tied the game 1-1, but the other team only needed one point to win the series. They ended up finishing 4th. And after the game, he was given a letter from the coach of another team inviting him to their tryouts. *gasp* my 9 year old was being scouted. Another player from his team is moving to that team next year and I guess when watching him play, the coach noticed Patrick too. Anyway, here he is after the game with his medals.

Then it was back at the arena for Damon's team's party. Kira skated for a little bit, but then she played with her boyfriend Logan. Then she decided that since she spent so much time at the arena, she might as well keep it clean.

Campbell skated for a while, but then he was tired.

Damon, Patrick and Matt took part in the father/son game and had great fun.

Then I spotted the coach who gave Patrick the letter earlier. He was there, as his team was playing after our ice time was over. He stood and watched Patrick play. We ate pizza in the meeting room and then watched Patrick's potential team play. When we finally got home it was 9:30.

We are all hockeyed out now. We get a week off and then the whole tryout process starts for Patrick. Depending on which team he makes it onto, that could take up to a month of daily tryouts. They start out at the top level AAA and they pick their teams, if you don't make it, you try out for the next level down and so on. Last year he made it onto the AA team, so we only had 2 weeks of tryouts to endure.
