There are no trophies in Burnaby...

When you win the Rememberance Day Tournament in Burnaby, BC they don't give you a trophy. They give the team a banner as seen in the team photo posted before, and each player on the team gets a stylish Champions sweatshirt like the one I'm sporting here!

Now that's what I'm talking about!

My Stats from Burnaby, Canada...

Here's my official personal stat sheet from the Burnaby Tournament. Point Streak keeps all the stats and official scoresheets online. It's pretty cool to look them up and see what we accomplished in Canada.

Thanks for following along on this amazing adventure!!

From the Selects website:

NWS U14s Win It All

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!

We won the Championship Game in a shootout after coming from behind 4-2 in the third to tie 4-4. We really are 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....

We clobbered the North Shore Winter Hawks 8-0... once again, most of the game was keep away. I scored 3 goals, but it wasn't that great of a game. Another big mis-match...

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!

Back with a vengence...

We bounced back pretty well tonight. We beat Surrey 8-0. We didn't even bother to score in the 3rd period. We played keep away. Had to be embarassing for Surrey. I had 2 goals and an assist. The other team was truly out matched.

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.

the bear from Canada

1-1 in Canada...

We lost game 2 by a score of 1-0. A key player on our team was ejected from the game in the first shift of the first period for checking from behind. It was a sketchy call. The other team scored in the 5 minute major penalty. And that was it. We'll likely face them again in the championship game and without the emotion of the ejection, and with our whole team on the bench, I'd bet on a different outcome.

Go Selects!

Off to a good start in Canada..

We beat Tri-Cities 4-0 this morning. We play the North Shore Avalanche this afternoon. They won their morning game 3-0. So, it's the battle of the early leaders already. I was credited with an assist in the first game. Follow my stats on PointStreak...see the link in the post below.

I'll keep you in the know....we're 1-0!

Storm and NW Selects...

I LOVE PLAYING WITH THESE GIRLS TEAMS!

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!
