NW Selects Rock!!!
Yeah!!!!
Great job Selects!!!
Love You!!!
Langley Games: 3, 4 & 5
On a personal note, after much coaching (thanks Ross!) I have expanded my offensive abilities with some success. I got one tracked there for awhile and my coaches are helping me get better at taking higher percentage shots and creating ways to drive the middle instead of the left side every time. Stay tuned.

Langley: Game 2
I had an amazing backhanded goal this afternoon. It was from a tight spot close to the goal and I roofed it. My teamates Miranda and Emily E. are having a great tourney. Tomorrow we play one game and then we're going to swim. The hotel we're in has an 80' water slide!
Go Selects
Angels on Ice Update
I'm disappointed because we are missing a few key players on our team who could have helped us win. I am afraid we may be outmatched this weekend because of it.
Game 2: 2:30 PM

My Stats from Burnaby, Canada...
Tuesday, November 11, 2008
From the Selects website:
The U14s win it all!!! Tied after regulation (4-4) the teams headed into a 3 player shoot out. Making all 3 shots and giving up 1, the NWS win the tournament in style!!! The U19s just coming off the ice from a win of their own, celebrated with the U14s for an on-ice picture and lots of hugs. The U12s, had headed home by then, but the Canadian cell towers will jammed with calls looking for updates ... the celebration was shared with all. Congratulations to all of our players and coaches for all their efforts and integrity on and off the ice.
Go Selects!!
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
I got the game winner in the shootout...the Avalanche played so well!!! I was named by my coaches as the MVP of the tournament!!!
I'll write more later when I can think better!
On a roll....
Now it's on to the Championship Game against the North Shore Avalanche. They beat us 1-0 in the round robin part of the tournament. We're going to get them back!
Sunday, November 9, 2008
Back with a vengence...
We play in the morning against a team that was beaten by the team we played tonight. Best of luck to them. We could slaughter them too. We'll see.
Championship game tomorrow. One game at a time.
2-1.

1-1 in Canada...
Go Selects!

So wish me luck. Here we go!!!!

Storm and NW Selects...
This past weekend, the Storm, my all girls Portland Jr Hawks team had our first 2 games. We have so much fun! We lost the first game 5-3, but tied the second game 5-5!!! I had a hat trick in each game, and an assist in the second game. When we come full strength after injuries, we are going to ROCK!
I'm on my way to Burnaby, Vancouver BC this weekend for a tournament with the NW Selects. I think we are going to do awesome! After finishing 2nd two years in a row, I am hoping to come home winners this year. I'm getting excited because all of us stay in a hotel and hang out between games...it's fun. Also, about 1,000 girls play in this tournament and that's pretty awesome. I'm sure my dad will update the website during the weekend, so stay tuned!

NW Girls Hockey Rocks!
Anyway, that got me looking for girls hockey in Idaho, and I found this great statewide website that details and promotes girls hockey statewide. I wanted to share it, becasue I think it would be cool if girls in every state had a resource, a listing or promotion like this...enjoy!
P.S. I got the game winner in overtime this weekend in Medford! Good Stuff! I also had a great practice weekend with The Storm in Portland!
Drive for 25!

Wow...we're in full swing....
Went to Portland for a power skating clinic this weekend with the Selects. It was a lot of fun. It was directed by a figure skating coach, so we had a pretty good time razzing her and giving her a hard time. I did my best backwards, butt pump figure skating impersonation...it was way good!
I have the opportunity to play in 6 games this weekend, but I probably will only play 4 or 5. The three most important games that I will definitely play in are the NW Selects U14s vs San Diego. This is our first test this season and I am stoked. We are going to play 3 times over next weekend up in Portland. I'll keep you informed.
Drive for 25!
XOXO

So starts the 08-09 season...
I also had a practice weekend for the Selects up in Vancouver. It was really good, and I think our team is going to be so strong this year! We start games in a couple of weeks. I'll keep you informed.
Finally, I've started my annual fundraising drive...The Drive for 25! I need 25 people to sponsor me at $25 or more to help me pay for all of this. I thank you all so much for your support and I am working very hard to make you proud!!!
Pictures coming soon! Later!

Random thoughts...
So today is the first preseason Blackhawk hockey game. So the season is finally here!!!:) My first official house boys team game is this weekend. I am the oldest one on my team but I am not the only girl on my team! I'm glad:). I'm thinking we may not win every game, but I'll get lots of playing time and that's why I skate in Medford anyway...just to get more ice time.
Well, my thoughts are all over the place....gotta check the score on the Hawks game. Later.
Thursday, September 11, 2008
Let the tryouts begin...
Monday, September 8, 2008
Tomorrow, I'm going to beat the crap out of Chris Chelios...

San Jose MLK 2009
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!

Camps (they go on and on)...
Tuesday, July 29, 2008
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.

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:)

Here comes memories of Chicago!
We took the train into the city from Oak Park where we stayed and got off near the United Center. There was a park there that had a great view of the Chicago skyline. Of course, I was sporting the Hawks jersey and we stopped to get a pic with Sears Tower. PEACE!

Game 4: NW Selects 3 vs South Delta 2
Today we played the South Delta girls and we won 3-2! This was an important win, because it kept us from finishing last. I wish we could have our 1st game against Chiliwack to do over...I think we could beat that team, because they beat this team too. By winning, we finished 4th, Chiliwack 5th and this South Delta team will finish 3rd. Richmond and Langley will play for 1st I bet.
Oh and 1 more thing...I got the MVP of the game. I still did NOT score, but I did have some good chances and my dad says I created some opportunities for others. I got a lot of ice time. The last goal with about 2 minutes left was off a clearing pass I made. I was not credited with the assist, because Laura did most of the work herself, but I did get the puck up and out of the zone to start the rush. The team manager from the other team polls their parents and picks the MVP...I like that. Anyway, it's a beautiful little trophy and I'll take a picture and put it here later.
3 days to the BIRTHDAY...and counting!!!!

Game 3: Langley 4 vs NW Selects 0
Jerin lost again this afternoon 4-0 to Langley. The team looks better with every game, it makes me wish they could play together more often. Even though they have yet to win, they really don't look half bad for being 1/2 peewee, 1/2 squirt playing in Canada against Tier 1 AA and AAA Peewee Teams. We made the girls line up tonight as to who was U12 and who was U10 and we really are almost 50/50.
Jerin had her best game of the tournament so far. She was playing with lots of heart and lots of passion. She got a penalty for interference, but she really just tangled up with this girl at the puck and they both went down. Somehow she got the call. She did score a goal, but way late - while she was celebrating - the ref decided to call one of our girls offsides. Go figure. Her coach called it a pretty goal...stolen.
Well, we're hoping not to get swept with a win tomorrow. I won't really care as long as Jerin plays like she did today, or better....
Game 2: Richmond 6 vs NW Selects 2
I had a great no look pass in the second that got some good comments and I did have a penalty for checking in the game, but overall I was still quiet when it came to scoring.
We play Langley this afternoon. They beat a team that beat us pretty bad, so I don't know how it'll turn out.
Stay tuned.
Friday, March 21, 2008
Game 1: Chiliwack 4 vs NW Selects 1
Oh well, hopefully things will go better tomorrow! I'm gonna go eat and maybe go swimming with some of my teammates...
Canada Update 1: Friday Morning
The team had practice last night in Bellingham, Washington. We look great!
On the way there we had a car accident right outside of downtown Seattle. It was a huge like 12 car pile up. It was about 5 different accidents in 1. It closed I-5 for about an hour. But don't worry everything is just fine... ours was just a little fender bender. We were one of the only two cars to drive away. Here's a link to the news about it: Car Crash. Never a dull moment with my dad. My coach passed us in the accident, so I just jumped out and got in with her. So I didn't miss anything.
There was a huge wait at the border, so that really sucked. It's pretty funny that you pass by this huge Peace Arch that says "Children of a Common Mother". I'm like, if we share a common mother then why can't we just share the house we all live in too. We had to wait a long time just to have some guy wave us through. Too funny.
We have our first game today at 2:00. Sooooooo I'm super pumped. Check back tonight and see how we did.

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....
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!
Jerin
