Michael Hengen Deggendorf Fire

I had such a great time in Canada.  The Stampede Challenge AAA Hockey Tournament, was the BEST tournament ever.  Ten days in Canada, was not long enough.  I wish it was a month!  My 2000 team had only four practice together, and some of the Canadian teams had been together for 3 years, so it was really competitive hockey.  They were checking and the refs did not make any calls!  It was physical!!

I had some really cool Coaches.  Coach Johnson will be the head Coach for the USHL’s Fargo Force and Coach Hengen plays hockey for the Deggendorf Fire GerObL in Germany.  He is also #27, like me!

I made a lot of new friends.  We still keep in touch on xBox Live and email each other.  My first hockey trip to Canada was awesome and something I will never forget.  Thank you Team Northwest and Todd Collins!
