Summer Hockey League

 Caleb has been playing inline hockey since he was in first grade.  It is truly one his favorite things to do. In all of the games I have been to throughout the years, I have never been to one quite like this one. It was a hoot! It started 15 minutes late because over half of his team was on vacation.  In fact, in order for them to be able to play, they had to recruit players from a different team. This was the last game of the evening and while there is normally a pee wee league playing at the same time, tonight there wasn't.  This took me a little off guard because for the first time ever, the rink was actually quiet.  I must say it felt a bit awkward to even cheer the kids on.  Usually the place is filled with energy and excitement.  However, tonight was truly an exception.  By half time, all of the players were exhausted from not having any line changes.  But the best part of the game came when there was just 7 minutes left to play.  Coach Pete blew the whistle for an impromptu time out so that our team's goalie could use the bathroom!  When I looked up this is what I saw.










The players taking a rest on the rink--probably grateful for the break from playing the entire game.  In the end Caleb's team one 5-3.  This makes for an undefeated season!  Just 7 games left.  Good Luck Flyers!
