"AA"

The Grizzlies AA tournament began last night. The Lightning Team didn't seem like they were in it to win it from the start. I am not sure if they were intimidated by the title of AA teams or if the other teams were really that much better. 


Game # 1 vs. Boise Steelheads (loss 3-2)
 


Markus being silly with Max & Killian at dinner before he slept over
 


Game # 2 vs. Steamboat Springs (loss 5-3)


Stop for lunch with Markus' little friend Patch


Game # 3


warming up before the start of game 3 against the Jr. Eagles


I can see Max getting more confident in every game, he still has a long way to go to keep up with the second year pee-wees however.
 

Max told me that he learns so much from what his coaches tell him on the Lightning team
 

Max listening intently to what Coach Volker has to say


He was on the starting line for the game against the Eagles




which they lost 8 - 0



still he learns more every game and I can see him getting stronger



To top off a full day of hockey, The Grizzlies game

Morgen & his friend Alex enjoying the iTouch game they were playing instead of watching the game, until the fights broke out, then his friend Alex was all over it. He even said he wants to play hockey now. Morgen slept over at his friend Alex's house last night and they both said they wanted to go to the Dave Brown Memorial game. A portion of the proceeds of the game went to the family of the high school hockey coach who died last month after hitting his head on the ice.
