San Jose Pics

Hey....I have a slideshow of pics from the San Jose Winter Classic from this last weekend. I'm in every picture, you may just have to look to find me. I'm number 10, I have Dinkins across my back, I have a ponytail or hair hanging out the back of my helmet and I have a white tape stripe across the front forehead of my helmet. See if you can find me in all of these....enjoy.

Sorry about the name across every photo...that's the company that took the pics. I can buy them for $7 each, but I wanted to show all of you while I choose the ones I want.

A little update before Christmas break....

Well, as expected, I have had 1 game and 4 practices in the last six days. I love this time of year! The only thing that I am struggling with now is that snow has come to the mountains and I want to do more snowboarding this year but have such little extra time because of my hockey schedule.

Speaking of, I am headed to San Jose for the Winter Classic the day after Christmas. I'm hoping to go down and win this thing, but I haven't played in an all boy's tournament yet...so, we'll see.

For a couple of you, Joy H. and PB, I really want to say thank you for all your encouragement and support. I'm glad to know that you are following along!

I recently found this website with a bunch of photos of me at the San Jose MLK Tournament earlier this year. These are some great action photos that feature me, so be sure to check them out:

1st Place for the Holidays...

With today's win, my house team, the Jr. Summits Blue Thunder, moved into 1st place going into the holiday break. We beat the number one team going into today's game 3-1 and I was able to get another assist after Dustin G. picked up the rebound from one of my shots. It was a good game. Now my Jr. Summits Pee Wee travel team will prepare for the Winter Classic in San Jose later this month by practicing every night except Friday night next week. Should be good. I'll keep you posted!

A Change in Plans...

The last week in December, I was going to travel with the Portland Jr. Hawks Girls team to Langley, BC to play in the Angels on Ice tournament there. Due to too many teams applying for the tournament, our entry was denied.

Instead, that week I will be travelling with the Jr. Summits Boys PeeWee team to the Winter Classic in San Jose. This will be a tougher tournament, but I'm looking forward to playing for the first time in a long time with this team.

I love to play for Candace and the girls team, but I'd really like to see the Jr. Summits team go to Cali and do well. I'll let you know...

3rd Hat Trick of the Season

I was able to get my 3rd hat trick (3+ goals in one game) of the season today playing for the Portland Jr. Hawks. I was playing a defensive center against a boys house team that had not lost a game this season. As a matter of fact, they have beaten every team they have played this year by no less than 8 goals every game. We won the game 4-3 and I pulled all 3 goals in a single shift in the second period. The 3 goals were scored in under one minute. Go figure. It was a good game and a nice comeback after Saturday's game.

On Saturday, my Jr. Summits team tied 3-3 against another Summits team. It was a hard fought game, and I took the biggest check of the year so far. It was open ice and clean, and it looked pretty major league according to my dad. I finished my shift, it really didn't hurt. I look forward to getting that kid back again next time.
