Hockey Outcome

If you watch my photo blog - you already know that my team won the Hockey championship and my Thesis advisor did not win the championship.

A picture of me with the trophy

My finger was fine - it twinged a bit from time to time but it seldom really hurt. Back to the cast so it can heal for the next few months. The next key will be motorcycling - broken finger will put that on hold for 4-6 weeks - Damn!

We won the game 4-2. Rich got his team's first goal which tied the score. Our team was very balanced in scoring with Ray, John, Tom, and Scott each scoring - I got an assist on the fourth goal. I had three outstanding chances to score a goal. Each time I would miss the bench would laugh and suggest that it was my hand that screwed up - but of course I screw up often enough with a good hand - so that is not a good excuse.

Both teams played great. Rich's team was really strong on offense but our defense held steadfast amazingly.

I learned some things from this:

- Winning is a team effort - it is nice to have Scott Crilley on that team

- Defense is really important

Next year - I will go back and sign up with Rich - probably we will never win a championship together - but the rest of the time is so much more fun playing with Rich.

Ah well - it is time for summer and motorcycling - and back to hockey in September.
