Summer Hockey - Games 10, 11 & 12

Very busy times these past couple of weeks.  My daughters have been playing community league soccer two nights each week, and my work has become very busy.  A number of hockey games have been crammed into the last few days and I just haven't had the opportunity to report the results.  But, here we go...
On Wednesday June 8th we played a game against the Spartans at Knights of Columbus Arena.  The game ended in a tie in regulation, but we were victorious in a shootout, winning by a score of 5-4.
On Monday June 13th we played a late game, at 9:30PM against the Chiefs, also at Knights of Columbus.  We were leading the Chiefs by a 4-2 score late in the game.  They pulled their goalie for an extra attacker and we managed an empty net goal to win the game 5-2.
Last night, on June 15th we played The Wild again at Knights of Columbus.  Coincidentally this was also the night of game 7 of the Stanley Cup final between the Boston Bruins and the Vancouver Canucks.  We played a much younger, faster team in The Wild, with a very short bench.  We only had three defense, six forwards and a goaltender.  Being one of our defensemen, I was on the ice for two-thirds of the game.  I served a couple of minor penalties, maybe just to get a rest??  We were pretty even through the first half of the game but then ran out of gas and eventually lost by a score of 7-2.
