2nd Annual LAHA Ice Cup Champions!

I got to play with the Portland Jr. Hawks Girl's team this weekend in Eugene, OR where Lane Amatuer Hockey Association hosted the 2nd annual Ice Cup Tournament. We played 4 games over a three day period and we went undefeated winning the tournament and bringing home the cup! I had a great tournament, scoring 6 goals and getting 4 assists. I had 5 penalties in the 4 games and I won an MVP award in the 3rd game. The best game was the championship game where I scored our 1st goal, assisted on the 2nd goal and iced the game with my teams 4th goal. It was sweet! Now I have some house action through the rest of February with both the Summits and Jr. Hawks, then in March I'm headed to Canada with the Selects...should be awesome, so stay tuned.
Pictures of my trophies and the tournament coming soon!

Getting the game winner...and a new sweatshirt!

So I had a five game weekend this weekend...it'll help get me ready for our tournament next weekend. My teams went 2-1-2 on the weekend, and three of those games were my Jr. Summits Peewee boys travel team against the Portland Jr. Hawks Peewee boys travel team. In that series we were 1-0-2. It was a tough good series. The highlight of the weekend for me came in the win against the Portland team where I broke out and got the game winner. I got love from everyone on the ice...except the Hawks of course. It was awesome.

I'm adding a photo I took today with a new sweatshirt I got. My Uncle Gregg and Krista from Missoula, MT sent me this rad Missoula Hockey sweatshirt. This is a picture of me sporting it at the RRRink.


Next weekend, I'm in Eugene all weekend with the Portland Jr. Hawk Girls team in a tournament. It'll be good. We're playing all boys teams. I'll let you know.

A Very Big Update....

because so much has happened lately! First, the site needed a little update, so even though it is essentially the same, some thinigs went away, some things got added and lots got moved around.
Secondly, The Drive for 25, you know, this...


is on an official note - over! I finally reached 25 sponsors and raised $960 towards my hockey and travel expenses. A special thanks to everyone who contributed to my goal...you can see who you are over on the scrolling sponsor list. Unofficially, this season continues to be a huge financial endeavor and if anyone reading still wants to sponsor me, look back in the archive and see what that means.

Here's my Portland Jr. Hawks photo...I don't like it...but my parents say I need to share it...


I played in the first annual MLK Dream Cup this past weekend with my Jr. Summits boys team and we won the whole thing. We did lose to Eugene 1-0 in the 1st round, but beat them 3-2 in the championship game. I was named MVP in the 1st game against Klamath Falls and finished the tourney with 2 goals and 3 assists.

So that catches you up for now....I have three games this weekend, 1 house, 1 travel and 1 Portland Jr. Hawks. I'll let you know!

Thanks for everything!

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.

Feel free to send me a message to vote for your favorite!

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.
