Championship Game :[

So on Saturday we had the Jr. Summits Championship game. The score was 4-3, we lost by one goal and it was really close the whole game, but it's all behind me now because... I'M GOING TO CANADA!!! I know you probably know that by now but I'm SUPER excited. Just to let you know it is only two days from today until we leave. What you may not know is that we are going to be playing Tier 1. Tier 1 is the highest classification of Junior hockey in North America. So that means we are going to play some hard teams. I'm ready for it though. The website says that the whole tournament will include some 67 teams and over 1000 girls. You could visit it here if you wanted: 11th Annual Richmond Ice Classic.

Well, another good thing I found out today was, I got straight A's in school.

This is kind of random but my mom made the best dinner tonight: macaroni chili bake -mmmm. :]

Wearing the gold...

A shot in the locker room. Those are two 1st place medals hanging around my neck.

Two 1st place medals and a trip to Canada...(SWEET!)

So on Monday, we had our Jr. Summits Annual Skills and Drills competition. I competed in the 12 and under age group as the only girl with about 22 other boys. I had a lot of fun and I won two 1st place medals out of the three competition activities. One of the 1st place medals was for best puck control. I was the fastest player to stick handle a puck through an obstacle course (in any age group...U10, U12 or U15). Another 1st place medal was for the most accurate shot, it's called 'the million dollar shot$$'. No, I didn't really win a million dollars, but I did win the competition. All my friends were cheering for me, and I think I like that even more than getting the medals. I almost won the fastest skater award, but I finished half a second out of 1st to a boy from Mt. Shasta, CA. There are no medals for 2nd place in hockey. Even in the pros, you win the Stanley Cup or go home empty handed. After the practice we had a potluck and hung out with friends and ate food.
Oh yeah... by the way I am going to Canada in eight days. I am sooooo excited!!! My dad is taking me and we're going to Richmond, BC Canada with my girls team... the Northwest Selects:]. Its our last tourney this season.:[ I'm going up hoping to bring home more hardware, so stay tuned....

Lame, Fame

So on Saturday we were missing a lot of players. So we played four-on-four. We won 13 to 14 but still it wasn't a real game and I can't put it on my stats. (my dad wont let me). So I'll tell you right now. I scored a goal and got 2 assists. No penalties but I almost got in a fight with this dumb boy. ( I don't know why they even think they can be on the ice). On the good side I got a post from two good friends on my blog. One was a fellow teammate (check out her hockey blog here) another was just a fellow hockey lover. You guyz know who you are, THANKS!

This is my 1st 40 goal season...

With last week's 4 goal game in Klamath Falls, I have reached the 40 goal mark in actual games for the 1st time ever. It's a sweet mark, with 2 weeks and 1 tournament left in my regular season. I'd like to reach 50, but who knows. Maybe I can pull down a few more assists and knock down a 40-20 season. That'd be awesome....keep your fingers crossed and I'll let you know.

Some pictures from the Eugene Tournament...

Here are some pics from the tourney this past weekend...the shot and the celebration are from the same sequence. Enjoy!

Trophies and Attitude...

yeah...


I LOVE WINNING!

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!
