Is it just me, or are these the cutest hockey players ever? Marty and Thomas got to play on the same team for the end of the season, as Coach Bob brought Thomas up for the end of the season. So, as unnatural as it seems, we are left saying "Go Canadiens!"
Marty got to play some playoff hockey for the Chicago Blackhawks. Games on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Mostly playing defense, and learning so much. Two two-minute shifts per period. Send it up the boards! Marty even got an assist, his first playoff point! WYH did a great job with the tournament, too. The kids had a lot of fun and got to play a lot of hockey.
Tom finished up his first season in Tykes playing a real game, getting a trophy and having a pizza party. Look at him on the bench there, he was so psyched! Tom is totally kick-*&s. He wants the puck and just goes for it. All with that cute little grin and a lot of trash-talking. Yeah, he was mesmerized by that trophy.
Last weekend Marty moved up to Mites and joined his friend Jack on the Chicago Blackhawks team. This morning was his first game, and he did great. He skated so hard, on full ice, and he even got a shot on goal that went behind the goalie but not in because the goalie had come about 8 feet out of the goal.Granma, Granpa, and Thomas of course were in attendance to cheer him on. Way to go Marty.
Meanwhile in tykes, Tom continues to amaze, perfecting his Superman drill, putting more pucks in the net and trash talking Coach Bob.
