Lots of hockey this past little while. We play a 30 game regular season; on average one game per week, from September to March. Then the playoffs start. We knocked off the Wet Bandits and the Padres to advance to the divisional final. This is the playoff between the top two teams in Division Eight. The first game against the Itchy Beavers did not go well and we were behind quickly and lost the game 8-3. The second game of the best of three series was on Saturday the 13th and we won that one 5-3. The final game of the Divisonal Championship was played on the afternoon of April 14th, at Knights of Columbus Arena. I really think our opponents took us for granted and just thought they had to show up to win. They only lost four times during the regular season, and were undefeated in the playoffs up until Saturday. We played a really solid team game and ended up winning by a score of 8-4. The championship hats were passed around and as team captain I accepted the trophy on behalf of the team. There were some pictures taken and I'm waiting for them to be forwarded to me so that I can post them here on my blog.
We now move on to the City Conference Championship. This is against a team called the Beavers HC that won Division 8 in the other conference. We have never played these guys before and only played a handful of inter conference games all year. The first game of that best of five series was last night. We won that game by a score of 4-3, but it went to overtime before it was decided. There is a little bit of a break over the Easter Weekend but we are playing hockey up to four more times over the next week and a half. Depending how this all ends, we will play somewhere between 11 and 13 playoff games. This is almost equivalent to half of a regular season, and all of these games will be played over the course of about a month. Getting pretty tired this last little while and looking forward to a bit of a break before the summer season starts in May. Two more victories and we can win it all... for our team mate Vince...!!
