Let the tryouts begin...

Really, I only have one tryout for now, but it's tomorrow! I'm trying out for the NW Selects U14 Girls Team. I'm confident that I will make the team because I have been in the Selects program for 2 years now. Still, the competition is good this year and I'm a year young in my age group. So tomorrow we're off to Renton, Washington for a two day tryout at the Ice Castle Arena. Wish me luck!!! Go Selects!!

Tomorrow, I'm going to beat the crap out of Chris Chelios...

Starting tomorrow I can take the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup, I can race a zamboni and I can beat the crap out of Chris Chelios...and don't think I won't do it either...I'M COMING FOR YOU TRAITOR! I may not be able to pick it up tomorrow, but sometime this week...it's NHL 2k9 for the Wii! Click here for the game trailer!

San Jose MLK 2009

I just found out that I am going to the 2009 San Jose MLK Tournament in January with a blended U12-U14 team! This is going to be awesome. The tournament brings the best teams from all over the country including Alaska and as far as the Northeast. The defending National Champs will be there too! BTW, the MLK tourney in San Jose always has the best sweatshirts too...
The team I'll be travelling with is part of the NW Selects/Portland Jr. Hawk Program and so we have some pretty good talent on that team. We'll see how it goes...but I'm pretty stoked!

You Own This Nursery

So I found this commercial that I totally love! and of course it is a hockey commercial. To see it just click HERE!!! So I have to go to school tomorow :(
I'm not very excited about going back to school!

So this is me in my Patrick Kane tee/jersey thing and my pajama pants, on my computer...yeah its pretty sweet! So the reason I'm bring this up is I want everyone to know that I liked him first...okay? If you haven't noticed this dude is amazing he is a 19 year old rookie in the NHL and he already made it in the olympics!!! (its my future...JK). He is all over the place advertisments! So yeah I love him!!! Oh yeah, and the pic on the bottom right is where I got the shirt! (its in Chicago)

Camps (they go on and on)...

So I've finally got a break from camp to write again...(phew)...I still have two more weekend camps and a tryout! At first I really just wanted to stay home (so basically, I was home sick) for awhile but, now that I'm home I'm like camp sick I guess you would call it. :( It is nice to be home though, like tonight I'm having a sleep over and today I got to see a bunch of my friends! So I'm pumped about the next camps! They won't be as fun as last weeks NEEHS though because I went with a friend of mine and I got to stay at her house and everything... IT WAS A BLAST!! I'm thinking about moving to West Linn...where they live!

Northern Edge....again....

This week I'm up in Vancouver, WA at Mt. View Ice Arena for the Northern Edge Goal Scoring Camp. I did the Northern Edge Skill Development Camp on my home ice in Medford 2 weeks ago. See the post below. These camps are some of the best I have been to and I am learning alot and getting in great shape for the season! It's cool, because it's being run by the same group of instructors. Also, I am getting to stay with my mom at my Portland Coach's house.

Weekend before last, I was up in Kent, WA to do a NW Selects skating camp just for the weekend. It was run by Teka Parks, the NW Selects U19 coach. It was really good....very, very technical and I learned a lot! I can't wait for the NW Selects try outs in September!

This weekend, I have to try out for the boys Bantam Travel team in Medford. I'm confident that I will do okay. Also, the Drive for 25 will start soon, and I am thinking of some new incentives for support of my play....think about it!

I found out today, that I tuck my jersey in on the same side Wayne Gretzky did back when he played....hmmm....coincidence or just a sign of future greatness?

Shouts to my Mawmaw and Pops....glad you finally made it home.

Late.

Northern Edge Camp Update

Today was the second day of my fist summer camp, the Northern Edge Elite Hockey School's Skill Development Camp. I've been working hard and...I'm beat. I hurt all over too. There are about 50 skaters ranging in age from 5 to about 17. For Southern Oregon, I think we all look pretty good too.

At the end of the camp on Monday, they awarded the '212 Award' for the skater who had worked the hardest, shown the greatest effort and who came to camp to really learn. I won the award on Monday. So, today I got to wear the 212 Winner jersey during camp and lead a few of the on ice activities. These are some pics my dad took.

Roller Hockey in Miami

So right now I'm in Miami, and I'm having a blast! I went and played hockey with my aunts friend's son and his friend (Jaxon and Ty joined us too as you can see) it was pretty dificult for me with roller blades and everything...but it was fun, I got to practice shooting and work on foot movement. The two boys that play roller hockey are really good one of them (matt) has a youtube video you can view here. Hope everyone is havin a great summer...love ya:)

This Week Miami...

next week Northern Edge Elite Hockey School. Almost time to get down to business...but for now vacation.

Happy 4th!
