We had a day off from the tournament, so I had my line mate over to play some hockey. We took a quick jog around
the block and then worked on our shots together. Between the two of us, we netted 300 shots! It was totally awesome. My mom was nice enough to retrieve ALL of the pucks, so we could just keep shooting. We had a small game of one on one and Bunting was goalie, he ROCKS! Then it was off to play x Box 360 Live NHL.
Late in the afternoon we went up to the Gilbert Rink to catch a 18AA tournament game. Some of my hockey friends were there and we hung out and watched the game. Now we are off to the hockey pin trading event. It was a total hockey day!
The Squirt B Mustangs came out strong with the first goal of the game. But, once the 
Jr. Coyotes #48 scored two goals back to back on one shift in the first period … things quickly changed! We had a total of three goals in the first period. We dominated the game, and our goalie only had like 11 shots on him, and their goalie saved 34 of our 41 shots!
This was the first game I played being on the red line and it was awesome, I had a total of 3 points (2 goals/1 assist)! Our line contributed a total of 4 goals in the game.
Jr. Coyotes win 7-2
I was so pumped up on the ride to Peoria. I watched my In the Crease DVD, while driving to the rink and back. It is my all time favorite DVD. I have memorized it. The movie is a true story about the California Wave Bantam AAA travel hockey team’s journey to the National Championship. Some awesome NHL players are in the movie, Jeremy Roenick, Joe Thorton, Scott Gomez, Mike Comrie, Scott Niedermayer, Craig Conroy, Brendan Shanahan and Derian Hatcher. They talk about how hockey is more than just a sport, it’s a way of life!  It is an awesome movie, here is the link: www.inthecreasemovie.com
