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.
