NCHL 2012/13 (Game #16)

Wednesday Jan 9th, @ 10:45, Confederation Arena Garbage Goals vs. Rangers (L 4-1) The Rangers snapped our seven game winning streak. We got out played in the first period and that was where the turning point was when we came down the ice and had a great scoring chance (would have made it 2-1 for Rangers) we missed and Rangers came down and scored to make it 3-0. First star Rodel S 1G. I was happy that our team didn't roll over after going down early in the game, we battled hard. The other team has my best friend James S and their sub also my best friend Javan M and he got a goal.

Troll In The Park XC Skiing Race 2013 @ Goldstick Park (Alberta Loppet Race Series) #1

Tuesday January 1st, I finished 23rd place out of 25  Results , It took me 1hr 8mins. I did skate style. I was in the Trolls category and that is for 1994 and earlier for male and female all but one racer did skate style. It was two laps and a total of 12 Kms long. This was my first ever XC Skiing race and considering I have only started in January 2012 and have gone skiing only 11 times ever, I was really proud I finished. We started from up top at Goldstick park and skied down to Goldbar park and then up the big hill, I will call the lung & leg buster to the lap/finish area. The course has lots of rolling hills and was on blue and black runs mixed with the connecting green trails. Temerature was -5 deg c. This was a great way to spend new years day, I had a great time.

Thanks to Edmonton Nordic Ski Club and all the volunteers for puting on the race. I really enjoyed all the chili at the end.

NCHL 2012/13 (Game #15) 1 Goal

Sunday Dec 23rd, @ 10:30, Terwillegar Arena Garbage Goals vs. Apple 3.14 (W 3-1) My goal was from a pass from Matt M behind the net to me tape to tape and I put it five hole. First star to Nick D 1G & 1A. Second star Dennis P for scoring while his wife and kids were watching and the pressure was on for him to perform. Third star myself. We are now on a seven game winning streak. It just feels like before every game we have a good chance to win, it is a great feeling to have. We have moved into first place alone. Lets hope we roll it over to the new year.

Thursday Dec 20th, @ 10:45, Russ Barnes Arena Garbage Goals vs. Rangers (W 2-1) My first goal I was behind the net and passed it out front and it banked off their goalie and in. My second goal was a perfect pass from Scott C from behind the net and I took my time and sniped it in with 39 seconds left in the game. First star is to our goalie Mike H because he was great. Second stars Myself and Scott C 2A, Seth stitches W 1A. Third stars is the entire team for not giving up and playing hard to the end. The Rangers out played and out shot us the first two periods and then we won the third period. The other team has my best friend James S and their sub also my best friend Javan M, so it was such a great time to get to play against my friends, and we won so I was happy with that.
